This code presents the database construction of the RSVQAxBEN dataset, and the model both presented in [1]. This database leverages BigEarthNet, a large-scale dataset on landcover classification presented in [2]. Please cite [1] if you use this code.

The code is mainly organized in two jupyter notebooks:

• BigEarthNetVQA.ipynb presents the database construction procedure and allow you to modify the database if needed;
• Model.ipynb presents the model training procedure (including dataloader).
