CAFOSat: A Strongly Annotated Dataset for Infrastructure-Aware CAFO Mapping Using High-Resolution Imagery
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) play an important role in agricultural production but are also associated with environmental, public health, and disease surveillance concerns. Large-scale mapping of CAFOs from remote sensing imagery remains challenging due to heterogeneous infrastructure layouts, noisy location records, inconsistent annotations, and incomplete inventories. We introduce CAFOSat, a strongly annotated, infrastructure-aware dataset for CAFO mapping across the United States. CAFOSat integrates high-resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery with multi-source CAFO inventories collected across multiple states and transforms weak geolocation records into refined annotations through a human-in-the-loop pipeline combining AI-assisted annotation, GradCAM-based localization, and geometric clustering. To improve dataset quality, we curate challenging negative samples using land-cover-guided sampling with spatial exclusion constraints and provide infrastructure-level annotations, including barns, manure ponds, and grazing-related features, through manual verification. The resulting dataset contains more than 45,000 image patches spanning 20 states and four major CAFO categories. We benchmark a diverse set of convolutional, transformer-based, and vision-language models, demonstrating the value of refined annotations and curated negative samples for CAFO classification and generalization. In addition, we introduce a synthetic augmentation pipeline that generates infrastructure-aware variations to increase training diversity and improve robustness under distribution shifts. CAFOSat provides a large-scale benchmark for advancing infrastructure-aware agricultural monitoring and CAFO mapping from high-resolution remote sensing imagery.
