Building the next foundation model for Earth Observation
Fostering Advancements in Foundation Models via Unsupervised and Self-supervised Learning for Downstream Tasks in Earth Observation (FAST-EO)
Consortium members
The primary objective of the FAST-EO project is to enhance the accessibility and democratization of foundation models (FMs) within the EO community. This includes:
Define and develop an EO-specific Foundation Model
Specify and explore EO use-cases benefiting from Foundation Model
Develop AI4EO applications derived from Foundation Model
Assess impacts of AI4EO Foundation models and define Roadmap
Foster community development of EO Foundation Model users / providers
