Abstract:
In this work, we present a dataset containing a collection of pictures taken during the fieldwork of a farmland abandonment study. Data was taken in 2010 with a compact camera that incorporates GPS and a digital compass sensor. The photographs were taken as part of a GIS database. Using their Exif metadata, we created a layer of geographic fields of view (geoFOVs) that can be used to perform specific spatial queries. The dataset contains 2,235 pictures and GIS layers of geoFOVs contextualising the agricultural plots being photographed. The dataset is hosted in a Zenodo dataset repository.
