We have several options to test how good BT representations are and to compare them with ground truth.
+
Validation will be based on two tasks
  
* Borneo CHM
+
* Borneo Canopy Height Model, with ground truth from ALS scans collected by David Coomes's group
  
* Mantle has a paper on ForestAGB being published in RSE next month; best performance amongst 5 other approaches.

* Crop dataset for an important agricultural production region in Austria (the so-called ‘Marchfeld’), characterised by a large number of crops in widely different field sizes.
 
 
* Through re.green, we have access to about 670 field plots in Brazil with repeat LiDAR, ALS, and plot data.  Felipe Bigliomini works closely with Suzano.
 
 
 
* Pastis data. This is segmentation task and not suited to pixel-based representations, though.
 
 
 
* Clement/Mantle has a good crop type dataset for an important agricultural production region in Austria (the so-called ‘Marchfeld’), characterised by a large number of crops in widely different field sizes.
 
 
 
* David Coomes will make enquiries about access to natural forest, shrubland and grassland ground truth datasets from a global consortium of field plot owners that we can compare with representations (geolocation accuracy may be an issue). Potentially 3 of David’s students will be interested.
 
 
 
* We might have access to data through NeonScience  (a long term NSF-resourced initiative focused on US ecosystem monitoring)  https://www.neonscience.org/about
 
 
 
* Anil, Andres, and Ronita are looking into urban classification datasets. Andrés is assembling a note in the next couple of weeks on what's available and the resolution. Urban mapping is interesting as it could help us explore the wild/urban divide where a lot of expansion is happening (see article in Nature, 2023).

Validation will be based on two tasks

  • Borneo Canopy Height Model, with ground truth from ALS scans collected by David Coomes's group
  • Crop dataset for an important agricultural production region in Austria (the so-called ‘Marchfeld’), characterised by a large number of crops in widely different field sizes.
