New Data Released (2020-08-18)!

We've generated a new product of the whole Pearl River Delta region (9+2 cities), available here

New Features

• Used the Sentinel-2 composite images from 2018-2019 to generate the LCZ map, so the mosaic effect is reduced to a minimum.
• Included the whole administrative area of the following cities: Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhuhai, Macau, and Hong Kong (广州，佛山，肇庆，深圳，东莞，惠州，中山，江门，珠海，澳门，香港)

Pearl River Delta (The Greater Bay Area, old version)

Tiff file is available here (only core urban areas included)

The size of input is with 10 channels

The channel order is (channel & Sentinel-2 band):
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11,12,8A]

Please use the following normalization when applying the model. The subimage should be

import keras 

modelfile = 'modelpath'
model = keras.models.load_model(modelfile)

data = np.float32(data)
data = data/5000.0


for subimage in data:
    model.predict(subimage)
