Google DeepMind and Earth AI are powering a new agricultural landscape understanding layer in Google Earth for portions of the Asia-Pacific region to bring powerful data to our iconic imagery. https://goo.gle/4jU0OUN Leveraging machine learning and satellite imagery, this data layer is able to visualize the "atomic units" of agriculture: individual field boundaries. This model doesn't just delineate fields; it determines acreage and identifies critical landscape elements like water bodies and vegetation. Use these granular insights to: ✅ Calculate specific acreage. ✅ Identify water resources for drought contingency planning. ✅ Deliver insights at the farm level, not just the regional level. Go from regional aggregates to atomic units. Get the insights that inspire action. #GoogleEarth #GoogleDeepMind #AI
