A new chapter on "Earth Embeddings" has been published on arXiv, detailing how earth observation is shifting towards reusable data products rather than requiring users to run large foundation models themselves. These embeddings are vector representations that summarize locations or image patches, enabling users to analyze compact features without processing raw satellite imagery. The chapter explores various types of embeddings, their applications in fields like land cover mapping and hazard modeling, and discusses challenges such as oceanic and atmospheric coverage. AI
IMPACT This new approach to Earth Embeddings could streamline analysis of satellite data for various applications, reducing computational overhead for users.
