What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: binary pixel segmentation: 'vegetation' vs 'other' on satellite images
Coverage docs-verified: Training images of urban areas only: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Pittsburgh, Oakland, Berlin, Milan, Riyadh. No cities in Asia, Africa, Central America or Oceania. Not exhaustive; works on other cities with qualitative success.
Formats docs-verified: PyTorch · Hugging Face Transformers
Access docs-verified: Gated: accept the conditions and agree to share contact information before accessing files. Licence: cc-by-nc-sa-4.0.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Screening vegetation cover on urban satellite imagery for a tree-canopy or urban greening baseline, before ground-truthing · Generating draft vegetation masks for BNG habitat baseline mapping of UK urban sites, validated against local data · Estimating vegetated versus impervious surface fractions as an input to drainage or SuDS site assessments
Audience llm-inferred: GIS analysts · ecologists · planners · drainage engineers

Limitations

Constraints docs-verified: Experimental model, described by its author as 'just' a vegetation/other labeller · Fine-tuned on about 25 manually labelled urban images, so the training set is very small · Geographic bias: no training cities in Asia, Africa, Central America or Oceania; not validated for UK conditions · Success is judged qualitatively; no quantitative accuracy metrics are given · Not deployed by any Inference Provider, so it must be run locally · Gated access and a non-commercial, share-alike licence (cc-by-nc-sa-4.0) · Created for a personal art and urbanism project, so maintenance and support are uncertain
