  BetaEarth: Open Embeddings of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 with a Little Help of AlphaEarth

  Apr 29, 202626 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sat down with Mikolaj (Miko) Czerkawski from Asterisk Labs to explore BetaEarth, an experimental open-source emulator trained on AlphaEarth Foundations' public embedding archive. AEF — released by Google and Google DeepMind as a global 10 m embedding product derived from a wide range of Earth-observation modalities — is what makes BetaEarth possible: its openness lets the community build lightweight independent emulators that approximate AEF's pixelwise outputs from standard Sentinel inputs, and use them to probe how much of a model's behaviour is captured in its public embeddings. Miko walks through BetaEarth's design — compact architectures based on SegFormer-B2 with separa...

  Geospatial Annotation with LabelMe and Segment Anything

  Apr 23, 202612 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sat down with Kentaro Wada, a computer vision engineer at Mujin and creator of LabelMe, to explore the evolution of image annotation workflows. We discuss how his need to label data for a robotics challenge led to building one of the most widely used open-source annotation tools, and how it has evolved alongside the shift from traditional computer vision to deep learning. Kentaro explains the impact of foundation models like Segment Anything (SAM), and how annotation is rapidly moving toward a prompt-and-verify paradigm where models do the heavy lifting and humans focus on quality control...

  Mapping South America and Beyond with Fields of The World V2

  Apr 1, 202631 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sat down with Hannah Kerner and Tristan Grupp to discuss Fields of The World (FTW), an open-source benchmark and ecosystem for global field boundary segmentation from satellite imagery. We explore the core challenge of building models that generalise across vastly different agricultural systems, and why data diversity, rather than model architecture, is often the limiting factor. Hannah and Tristan explain how targeted annotation in underperforming regions can dramatically improve results, how combining global and local training data avoids catastrophic forgetting, and what they learned from large-scale model experimentation. We also dig into practical evaluation beyond...

  State Of The Art Object Detection

  Feb 4, 202630 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sat down with Isaac to discuss RF-DETR, a new state-of-the-art family of real-time object detection and segmentation models from Roboflow. We cover the motivation for building models that are not just accurate but also fast, cost-efficient, and deployable across diverse hardware and data regimes, and why moving beyond fixed architectures is key to achieving that. Isaac explains how RF-DETR combines strong foundation backbones like DINOv2 with efficient neural architecture search to unlock novel speed–accuracy trade-offs, including dropping decoder layers and queries after training. We also discuss the model’s strong transfer performance on domains far...

  Tessera: A Temporal Foundation Model for Earth Observation

  Jan 21, 202624 minS0

  <p>In this episode I caught up with Sadiq Jaffer and Frank Feng to discuss Tessera, a large-scale foundation model for Earth observation that produces annual, pixel-level temporal embeddings from multi-sensor satellite data. They explain why moving beyond single-date imagery is essential for understanding phenology, land cover, and environmental change, and how aggregating a full year of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 observations enables far richer representations of the Earth’s surface. We dive into the unique engineering challenges behind Tessera, including its unusual cost profile where inference is more expensive than training, the need to ingest petabyte-scale archives, and the design ch...
