Datasets

There are three datasets within the MillionTrees package: TreeBoxes, TreePoints, and TreePolygons. These datasets contain many source datasets from dozens of papers and research efforts. Below, each source is briefly described. The images for each dataset are generated directly from the dataloaders to allow rapid verification of the annotation status and are regenerated automatically when a new dataset is released or updated.
