Over the past decade, interest in applying machine learning (ML) to automate forest monitoring has grown significantly. However, existing training datasets are predominantly drawn from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, leaving a critical gap in African forestry data.
arXiv:2606. 08206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present SegmentAnyTreeV2, a sensor- and platform-agnostic framework for semantic and instance segmentation of forest point clouds.

arXiv:2607. 07292v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurately estimating urban carbon emissions is critical for sustainable urban planning, yet many existing approaches remain difficult to apply consistently across cities due to data-source heterogeneity and the lack of fine-grained semantic-temporal context in remote sensing data.
