The first global agricultural field boundary map at 10m resolution
Caleb Robinson, Gedeon Muhawenayo, Subash Khanal +9
The agricultural field is the natural unit at which crops are planted, managed, regulated, and reported, yet most global remote-sensing products for agriculture are only available…
WATCH: Wide-Area Archaeological Site Tracking for Change Detection
Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Titien Bartette, Andrew Hassanali +7
Monitoring archaeological sites at scale is vital for protecting cultural heritage, yet pinpointing when disturbances occur remains difficult because visual cues are subtle and gro…
GeoAI Agency Primitives
Akram Zaytar, Rohan Sawahn, Caleb Robinson +5
We present ongoing research on agency primitives for GeoAI assistants -- core capabilities that connect Foundation models to the artifact-centric, human-in-the-loop workflows where…
PRUE: A Practical Recipe for Field Boundary Segmentation at Scale
Gedeon Muhawenayo, Caleb Robinson, Subash Khanal +10
Large-scale maps of field boundaries are essential for agricultural monitoring tasks. Existing deep learning approaches for satellite-based field mapping are sensitive to illuminat…
XMENTOR: A Rank-Aware Aggregation Approach for Human-Centered Explainable AI in Just-in-Time Software Defect Prediction
Saumendu Roy, Banani Roy, Chanchal Roy +1
Machine learning (ML)-based defect prediction models can improve software quality. However, their opaque reasoning creates an HCI challenge because developers struggle to trust mod…
Advancing Earth Observation Through Machine Learning: A TorchGeo Tutorial
Caleb Robinson, Nils Lehmann, Adam J. Stewart +4
Earth observation machine learning pipelines differ fundamentally from standard computer vision workflows. Imagery is typically delivered as large, georeferenced scenes, labels may…
Satellite-Based Detection of Looted Archaeological Sites Using Machine Learning
Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Titien Bartette, Andrew Hassanali +7
Looting at archaeological sites poses a severe risk to cultural heritage, yet monitoring thousands of remote locations remains operationally difficult. We present a scalable and sa…
Fields of The World: A Field Guide for Extracting Agricultural Field Boundaries
Isaac Corley, Hannah Kerner, Caleb Robinson +1
Field boundary maps are a building block for agricultural data products and support crop monitoring, yield estimation, and disease estimation. This tutorial presents the Fields of…
TEMPO: Global Temporal Building Density and Height Estimation from Satellite Imagery
Tammy Glazer, Gilles Q. Hacheme, Akram Zaytar +9
We present TEMPO, a global, temporally resolved dataset of building density and height derived from high-resolution satellite imagery using deep learning models. We pair building f…
Where are the Whales: A Human-in-the-loop Detection Method for Identifying Whales in High-resolution Satellite Imagery
Caleb Robinson, Kimberly T. Goetz, Christin B. Khan +4
Effective monitoring of whale populations is critical for conservation, but traditional survey methods are expensive and difficult to scale. While prior work has shown that whales…
Machine Learning for Sustainable Rice Production: Region-Scale Monitoring of Water-Saving Practices in Punjab, India
Ando Shah, Rajveer Singh, Akram Zaytar +6
Rice cultivation supplies half the world's population with staple food, while also being a major driver of freshwater depletion--consuming roughly a quarter of global freshwater--a…
Optimizing Cloud-to-GPU Throughput for Deep Learning With Earth Observation Data
