Researchers develop Earth embeddings—machine learning-derived vector representations of satellite imagery—to detect and characterize diverse urban patterns and signals. The work demonstrates how embedding-based approaches can scale geospatial analysis across large regions for infrastructure monitoring and urban intelligence.
