Google DeepMind and the World Resources Institute presented ForTy, a global map that classifies 2020 land cover into six forest categories with satellite data and artificial intelligence. Although it reaches an overall accuracy of 90.2%, the system has more difficulty recognizing plantations and tree crops, precisely some of the relevant categories to monitor deforestation and supply chains.

Google Deepmind and the World Resources Institute have released ForTy, a global map that classifies forests and other land into six categories, including primary forest, plantations, and tree crops. The map could help track deforestation under EU rules, but it identifies only about half of planted forests and tree-crop areas, and 60% of plantations.

With ForTy, Google Deepmind and the World Resources Institute have published the first global map, which divides forests into six classes, from primeval forest to oil palm plantation. This is central to the EU deforestation regulation. However, in plantations and tree crops, the model recognizes only about half of the land correctly. The article Google Deemind maps the world's primeval forest, plantations and oil palms at ten meters exactly appe…
