Multimodal Vision Research Laboratory

MVRL

Research Area: Agriculture

Agricultural applications within MVRL focus on global field boundary mapping and crop monitoring from satellite imagery. Highlights include the Fields of the World (FTW) benchmark and tooling for worldwide agricultural field boundary segmentation, plus methods for combining open labeled datasets across varying domains. See also our remote sensing and geospatial AI areas for related work.
