Researchers have introduced LAMES, a new dataset designed for segmenting environmental impacts related to mining operations. The dataset includes annotations for 150 Large Scale Mining (LSM) sites and covers 870 square kilometers of Artisanal Small-scale Mining (ASM) sites. LAMES aims to improve the monitoring of mining activities, particularly to detect illegal artisanal mining and its environmental consequences, offering insights into the relationship between mining attributes and their ecological footprint.
