Research program 01

Field Foundation Models

Multimodal models that represent crops, terrain, field conditions and change over time using ground imagery, video, geospatial information, weather, metadata and human observations.

Research programInternal

Research objective

Develop representations that separate visible evidence, plausible interpretation and confirmed ground truth across changing agricultural environments.

01 / Core scientific questions

Questions under investigation.

  1. How should a field model combine images, video, location, time, weather and human observations?
  2. How can representations remain useful across crops, seasons, farms and capture conditions?
  3. When should a model request another observation or abstain?

02 / Current projects

Research topics.

  • Agricultural visual representation learning
  • Multi-image and video understanding
  • Temporal field reasoning
