Recovering Historical Image Data Using Automated OrthoRegistration
Google Summer of Code 2026 · NumFOCUS / DeepForest
- Building an automated pipeline to align U.S. Forest Service Aerial Detection Survey (ADS) polygons with NAIP satellite imagery using deep learning
- Developing a learned refinement layer using self-supervised displacement estimation to correct systematic spatial offsets of 50-500 meters
- Scaling the pipeline to process ~48,000 Oregon ADS polygons to generate weak training labels for forest health detection models
- Contributing to the open-source DeepForest Python package used by researchers worldwide
