Meta Unveils CHMv2: Open Source Canopy Height Maps Using DINOv3 Sat-L Vision Model – 2026 Analysis
According to AI at Meta, Meta announced Canopy Height Maps v2 (CHMv2), an open source model for high‑resolution global forest canopy mapping built with the World Resources Institute, leveraging the DINOv3 Sat-L vision model optimized for satellite imagery to improve canopy height estimation accuracy and coverage. As reported by AI at Meta, CHMv2 enables near-global inference from multispectral satellite data, offering finer spatial resolution for forestry monitoring, biomass estimation, and carbon accounting use cases. According to AI at Meta, the open release lowers costs for governments, NGOs, and climate tech startups to integrate canopy height layers into geospatial AI pipelines for MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) and nature-based solutions. |
