🏆 Our winners of the #MapYourCity Challenge have been announced 🏆
Nicolas Longépé announced the winners of our challenge yesterday during the URBIS24 Workshop, hosted at the ESRIN's premises of the European Space Agency - ESA. Tune in to the recording 📺 to see our winners (almost) live, explaining their great solutions: https://lnkd.in/ecExZPzr
Speaking of the winners, we would like to congratulate:
🥇TelePIX (South Korea): "Bigger is better, so choosing the right pre-trained dataset was pivotal." And it showed. Using EVA, TelePIX deployed cutting-edge #AI tools which only recently reached SOTA status on ImageNet. With their innovative approach they scored our first prize.
박재완, Hagai Raja Sinulingga, Steve Immanuel
🥈 cmb (Japan): Using a two type approach consisting of classification network training and inference on full modalities, and inference on only 2 top view modalities, cmb scored our second prize.
🥉 The AI Buzzard (Germany): Using a multi-modal model with pretrained encoders and attention-based late fusion, the team at AI Buzzard first trained on all data and later fine-tuned to individual countries. Congratulations, this approach granted the team a great third prize.

💶 Their great work is rewarded with a cumulative cash prize of 5000 €
💪 We would also like to thank the team behind the #AI4EO #MapYourCity Challenge for making this possible: MindEarth, Novaspace (Merger of Euroconsult & SpaceTec Partners), EarthPulse, Sinergise and the team at the ESA Φ-Lab.
🫶 And of course, a very big thank you to the entire #AI4EO Community. Our challenges live off your ingenuity, creativeness and spirit, and we are already excited for what's to come.
See you very soon for the next challenge 🚀
