Deep Learning Image Segmentation of Sandy Beaches in Southeastern Australia

Created 20/09/2025

Updated 20/09/2025

The collection includes beach coastlines from Southeastern Australia, specifically Victoria and New South Wales, used to train an image segmentation model using the U-Net deep learning architecture for mapping sandy beaches. The dataset contains polygons that represent the outline or extent of the raster images and polygons drawn by citizen-scientists. Additionally, we provide the trained model itself, which can be utilized for further evaluation or refined through fine-tuning. The resulting predictions are also available in Shapefiles format, which can be loaded to NationalMap. This collection supplements the publication: Regional-Scale Image Segmentation of Sandy Beaches: Comparison of Training and Prediction Across Two Extensive Coastlines in Southeastern Australia (Yong et al. 2025)
