Model and Inputs

The pretrained Prithvi-100m parameter model is finetuned to detect Burn Scars on HLS data from the HLS Burn Scar Scenes dataset. This dataset includes input tiles of 512x512x6, where 512 is the height and width and 6 is the number of bands. The bands are:

1. Blue
2. Green
3. Red
4. Narrow NIR
5. SWIR 1
6. SWIR 2 It is important to point out that the HLS Burn Scar Scenes dataset includes a single timestep, while the Prithvi-100m was pretrained with 3 timesteps. This highlights the flexibility of this model to adapt to different downstream tasks and requirements.

Code

Code for Finetuning is available through github

Configuration used for finetuning is available through config.

Results

The experiment by running the mmseg stack for 50 epochs using the above config led to an IoU of 0.72 on the burn scar class and 0.96 overall accuracy. It is noteworthy that this leads to a resonably good model, but further developement will most likely improve performance.

Inference and demo

The github repo includes an inference script that allows to run the burn scar model for inference on HLS images. These input have to be geotiff format, including the channels described above (Blue, Green, Red, Narrow NIR, SWIR, SWIR 2) in reflectance units [0-1]. There is also a demo that leverages the same code here.
