Open Buildings Dataset

[adamjstewart]

The dataset contains 516M building detections, across an area of 19.4M km2 (64% of the African continent).

For each building in this dataset we include the polygon describing its footprint on the ground, a confidence score indicating how sure we are that this is a building, and a Plus Code corresponding to the centre of the building. There is no information about the type of building, its street address, or any details other than its geometry.
