CMAB: A Multi-Attribute Building Dataset of China.

Rapidly acquiring three-dimensional (3D) building data, including geometric attributes like rooftop, height and orientations, as well as indicative attributes like function, quality, and age, is essential for accurate urban analysis, simulations, and policy updates. Current building datasets suffer from incomplete coverage of building multi-attributes. This paper presents the first national-scale Multi-Attribute Building dataset (CMAB) with artificial intelligence, covering 3,667 spatial cities, 31 million buildings, and 23.6 billion m² of rooftops with an F1-Score of 89.93% in OCRNet-based extraction, totaling 363 billion m³ of building stock. We trained bootstrap aggregated XGBoost models with city administrative classifications, incorporating morphology, location, and function features. Using multi-source data, including billions of remote sensing images and 60 million street view images (SVIs), we generated rooftop, height, structure, function, style, age, and quality attributes for each building with machine learning and large multimodal models. Accuracy was validated through model benchmarks, existing similar products, and manual SVI validation, mostly above 80%. Our dataset and results are crucial for global SDGs and urban planning.
