CarbonCLIP uses LMMs to improve satellite-based carbon emission prediction

Researchers have developed CarbonCLIP, a novel framework designed to enhance the accuracy of carbon emission predictions from satellite imagery. This approach integrates street-view semantics and temporal context, bridging the gap between top-down satellite views and ground-level human activities. By leveraging Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to generate semantic priors from street-view data and incorporating monthly emission variations, CarbonCLIP offers a robust solution for urban carbon modeling. Experiments conducted in Beijing and Singapore demonstrate that CarbonCLIP outperforms existing methods, providing a scalable deployment option even when ground-level data is unavailable during inference.
