New latent world model forecasts Earth Observation satellite imagery usability

Researchers have developed a latent world model, LeWorldModel, to forecast when Earth Observation (EO) imagery will be usable, addressing the bottleneck of data availability versus surface visibility. This model, adapted for cloud-aware sequences and trained on the EarthNet2021 dataset, predicts the usability of future satellite acquisitions. In evaluations, LeWorldModel significantly outperformed persistence baselines for both next-step usability and exact usable horizon prediction, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving EO processing chains.

    From Surface Forecasting to Observability Forecasting: A Latent World Model for Cloud-Aware EO Monitoring

    arXiv:2607.13651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The bottleneck of Earth Observation processing chains is not the arrival of new imagery but whether the surface is actually visible when the image arrives. We study this as an observability forecasting problem on EarthNet2021. Given…
