Mapping the World’s Trees in Unprecedented Detail with AI A new AI foundation model provides the world’s first global 1-meter map of tree canopy height, allowing the detection of single trees at a global scale. landcarbonlab.orgWhile groundtruthing is always ideal for all geospatial datasets, we're going to see more and more synthetic / AI assisted datasets like this one pop-up. Land Carbon Lab and WRI say they fine tuned DINOv3 by Meta to update this dataset from ~30m to ~1m, which is a huge upgrade. This will likely allow building more granular applications for decision makers. But will the caveats be surfaced? And will they be accounted for in the decisions made? Much opportunity here to build something really useful for communities around the world.
