Foundation models are rapidly changing the way we approach machine learning tasks. Are you ready to dive into the future of machine learning? This is your chance to make a real impact! In our ML4Earth Foundation Model Hackathon, you'll unleash the power of cutting-edge foundation models to create high-resolution maps from aerial imagery.
In this Hackathon, your mission is to harness the power of foundation models to produce high-resolution, detailed maps from aerial imagery. Here's what you'll need to focus on:
- High-Resolution Mapping:
- Goal: Create detailed, accurate maps from aerial imagery.
- Scope: Focus on urban planning, environmental monitoring, and other real-world applications where high-resolution mapping can make a difference.
- Model Selection & Fine-Tuning:
- Choice: Select a foundation model that best fits the task—whether it’s a transformer, CNN, or any other advanced architecture.
- Customization: Fine-tune your chosen model using the curated datasets we provide to enhance its performance for your specific mapping task.
- Data Integration:
- Training Data: Utilize our comprehensive training dataset to teach your model.
- Testing Data: Validate your model's accuracy and efficiency with our testing dataset.
- Impact & Usability: Real-World Applications: Think about how your project can be applied in real-world scenarios. Highlight its potential impact on industries like agriculture, urban development, disaster response, and more. Scalability: Ensure your solution is scalable and can handle large datasets efficiently.
- Performance Metrics: An analysis of your model’s performance, including accuracy, speed, and any other relevant metrics.
- High-Resolution Maps: The final output maps generated by your model.
- Demo/Pitch Video: A short video demonstrating your project's capabilities and showcasing its features.
- Source Code: A repository containing all the code used in your project, with clear instructions on how to run it.
