TESSERA v2: Scaling Pixel-wise Earth Foundation Models
Zhengpeng Feng, Sadiq Jaffer, Ira Shokar, Jovana Knezevic, Mark Elvers, Clement Atzberger, et al.
Pixel-wise Earth-observation (EO) foundation models are now achieving state-of-the-art performance via generated spatial embeddings. However, how these models scale and how best to spend a pretraining budget remain poorly understood. We present the largest controlled scaling stud…
