The general input requirements for ORCA HUNTR must be met. Additionally, this model has the following input requirements:

  • The image must be georeferenced
  • The image must have at least 3 channels (RGB)
  • The imagery should have a similar resolution to the training imagery (50cm). This means detection quality will degrade significantly when out of the range between 30 and 70cm resolution.

The output is georeferenced. The vector output is available as line strings only.

Model Metrics

The following metrics are the observed metrics for the vectorized output of the Roads 50cm/px model as tested on the Maxar Vivid 50cm dataset.

Product quality may vary for different parts of the globe as it can be affected by various factors like density distribution, image quality, and occlusions.
