Google has launched an artificial intelligence model dubbed AlphaEarth Foundations, affectionately referred to as the 'Virtual Satellite,' with the intent to transform Earth observation. By seamlessly integrating diverse data sources from optical satellites, radar systems, and climate simulations, it meticulously divides the Earth's surface into 10m x 10m grids and conducts comprehensive long-term tracking analysis. This model efficiently produces concise data summaries for each grid, drastically cutting down on storage expenses. AlphaEarth Foundations boasts numerous applications, including creating intricate maps, monitoring crop growth, tracking deforestation, and more. Google has generously made the relevant datasets available on Google Earth Engine for free access by researchers worldwide.
