Can you use MetaAI’s tool ‘Segment Anything’ for drone imagery?

Move over ChatGPT, there’s a new AI kid on the block! Just this week MetaAI released a new tool called ‘Segment Anything’ (Meta is best known as the Facebook parent company). And it’s unleashed the same fears and excitement as many tech tools before it. As someone who has been segmenting Earth observation imagery for

Mapping seagrass with machine learning and drones

Getting an understanding of the size and scope of marine ecosystems has always been a challenge for environmental scientists. Seagrass is no exception. These intertidal and subtidal meadows help support important fisheries species and iconic animals like dugongs. They’re also increasingly under threat from things like poor water quality. But with some meadows being many

Moo alert! We want to create an outstanding pasture for out standing cows!

Cattle are definitely one of the rock stars in human history. They have been contributing to our society as draught animals, providing resources such as meat, milk, leather, fertiliser, by-products and as trusting companions and possessions. Why did the cow get an award? For being out-standing in the field.   (Photo by Wolfgang Hasselmann on Unsplash)

How much data does a drone image have?

In this article, we discuss extracting information from drone images. From orthomosaic maps to pixels, thrilling information can be unveiled layer by layer from drone data. However, some may wonder, how is this related to us? These are scientists’ jobs. On one hand, the abundant amount of raw data out there is too cumbersome for

GPU vs CPU: Which One Do You Need If You Want to Learn Deep Learning

Let us explain the difference between CPU vs GPU in the process of deep learning. Recently, I had an interesting experience while training a deep learning model. To make a long story short, I’ll tell you the result first: CPU based computing took 42 minutes to train over 2000 images for one epoch, while GPU based computing only took
