GSS²USW (Global-South Satellite&Street-view images for Urban Solid Waste classification)

Specifically, it covers Jakarta (Indonesia), Manila (Philippines), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Johannesburg (South Africa), Nakuru (Kenya), Medellín (Colombia), Belo Horizonte (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), and Buenos Aires (Argentina).Countries in the Global South commonly face governance challenges such as dense informal settlements, fragmented urban landscapes and severe illegal solid waste dumping.

Nadir view from satellite remote sensing is highly susceptible to interference from tree occlusion and building shadows, while street-view imagery suffers from limited field-of-view and lacks macro-level scene context. To address these limitations, this dataset leverages the geographic coordinates of street-view sampling points as a linking anchor, and systematically constructs 5,145 spatially aligned multi-modal satellite and street-view samples, each consisting of a very-high-resolution satellite image patch and ground-level panoramic street view images.
