Citing mapcv

If mapcv helped you build a dataset for published work, please cite the software and say which version you used (mapcv --version). The DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23149438 covers every release and always resolves to the latest one; use it so that all citations count toward one record. The repository’s CITATION.cff is what GitHub’s “Cite this repository” button uses.

abstract: >-
  mapcv turns imagery (XYZ tiles, GeoTIFF/COG, Sentinel-2 from STAC or EOPF Zarr,
  and Google Earth Engine) and geospatial labels (vector files, OpenStreetMap or
  label rasters) into training datasets for semantic and instance segmentation,
  object detection, classification, change detection and regression, with
  georeferenced patches, a manifest and leakage-safe spatial splits.

Adjust version and year to the release you used. If you need to point at one exact release, its own DOI is listed on the Zenodo page (for 0.3.0: 10.5281/zenodo.23352201; for 0.2.0: 10.5281/zenodo.23149439).

Cite your data, too

A mapcv dataset is made of other people’s data. Credit each source as its terms require, for example:

Source	Typical credit
Copernicus Sentinel-2	“Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data [year]”
OpenStreetMap labels	“© OpenStreetMap contributors”, data under the ODbL
Esri World Imagery and other XYZ providers	As required by the provider’s terms; see Providers & licensing
