Infra-Bench CLS: open-source benchmark for critical infrastructure classification
A new arXiv paper introduces Infra-Bench CLS, a global, open-source benchmark for evaluating how well Earth observation foundation models can classify critical infrastructure. The work addresses the scarcity of complete infrastructure location data worldwide, a gap that is particularly acute in developing regions. The benchmark is intended to support more efficient mapping and monitoring of the built environment at a global scale.
