**Overview** |
|
* BRIGHT is the first open-access, globally distributed, event-diverse multimodal dataset specifically curated to support AI-based disaster response. |
|
* It covers five types of natural disasters and two types of man-made disasters across 14 regions worldwide, with a particular focus on developing countries. |
|
* About 4,200 paired optical and SAR images containing over 380,000 building instances in BRIGHT, with a spatial resolution between 0.3 and 1 meters, provides detailed representations of individual buildings. |

**Benchmark for building damage assessment** |
|
* Please download **pre-event.zip**, **post-event.zip**, and **target.zip**. Note that for the optical pre-event data in Ukraine, Myanmar, and Mexico, please follow our [instructions/tutorials](https://github.com/ChenHongruixuan/BRIGHT/blob/master/tutorial.md) to download. |
|
* For the benchmark code and evaluation protocal for supervised building damage assessment, cross-event transfer, and unsupervised multimodal change detection, please see our [Github repo](https://github.com/ChenHongruixuan/BRIGHT). |
|
* You can download models' checkpoints in this [repo](https://zenodo.org/records/15349462). |
|

|
|
**Unsupervised multimodal image matching** |
|
* BRIGHT supports the evaluation of Unsupervised Multimodal Image Matching (UMIM) algorithms for their performance in large-scale disaster scenarios. Please download data with the prefix "**umim**", such as **umim_noto_earthquake.zip**, and use our [code](https://github.com/ChenHongruixuan/BRIGHT) to test the exsiting algorithms' performance. |
|

|
|
|
**IEEE GRSS Data Fusion Contest 2025 (Closed, All Data Available)** |
|
* BRIGHT also serves as the official dataset of [IEEE GRSS DFC 2025 Track II](https://www.grss-ieee.org/technical-committees/image-analysis-and-data-fusion/). Now, DFC 25 is over. We recommend using the full version of the dataset along with the corresponding split names provided in our [Github repo](https://github.com/ChenHongruixuan/BRIGHT). Yet, we also retain the original files used in DFC 2025 for download. |
|
* Please download **dfc25_track2_trainval.zip** and unzip it. It contains training images & labels and validation images for the development phase. |
|
* Please download **dfc25_track2_test.zip** and unzip it. It contains test images for the final test phase. |
|
* Please download **dfc25_track2_val_labels.zip** for validation labels, redownload **dfc25_track2_test_new.zip** for test images with geo-coordinates and **dfc25_track2_test_labels.zip** for testing labels. |
|
* Benchmark code related to the DFC 2025 can be found at this [Github repo](https://github.com/ChenHongruixuan/BRIGHT). |
|
* The official leaderboard is located on the [Codalab-DFC2025-Track II](https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/21122) page. |
