    Very happy to talk about field delineation in the latest satellite-image-deep-learning podcast 🌍🛰️ Releasing UKFields and the associated code is all about making it easier to map field boundaries everywhere - making these kind of datasets more easily accessible worldwide!

    New Podcast & YouTube episode: Field boundary detection with Segment Anything Teaser: His best results were obtained not by fine tuning SAM, but by carefully pre-processing a time series of images into HSV colour space, and using SAM without any modifications.

    New and innovative solutions to fixing Britain's economy were encouraged in the @txp_io Progress Prize. My take is neither new or innovative, but something that I believe all future progress in the UK will be built upon. You can find my article on spiruel.github.io/2024/TxP_Progr…

    Great news for those using cloud masking with Sentinel 2 data! 🌥️ I've made a quick app to help compare the existing s2cloudless masking with the new Cloud Score+ ☁️🔍. Happy clear compositing everyone! Check it out here: spiruel.users.earthengine.app/view/cloud-mas… #EarthEngine🛰️✨

    I made an app to keep track of the North Atlantic SST anomaly that everyone's talking about... spiruel.users.earthengine.app/view/sst-anoma… It should load a graph similar to the quote tweet - as well as show an anomaly map of the most recent SST observations from @NOAA!
    Picture of the app with a sidebar of information and a world map showing SST anomalies in red and blue colormap.

    Are you paying attention yet? The North Atlantic SST anomaly on June 8 was 1.04°C above the 1982-2023 mean. For those keeping track, that's 3.56σ, or 1-in-5400.
