Prithvi-EO-2.0: A Versatile Multi-Temporal Foundation Model for Earth Observation Applications

Understand

This paper presents Prithvi-EO-2.0, a new geospatial foundation model that offers significant improvements over its predecessor, Prithvi-EO-1.0.

• Trained on 4.2 million global time series samples from NASA's Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 data archive at 30-m resolution, the new model incorporates temporal and location embeddings for enhanced performance across various geospatial tasks.
• Through extensive benchmarking with GEO-Bench, the model outperforms the previous Prithvi-EO model by 8% across a range of tasks.
• It also outperforms six other geospatial foundation models when benchmarked on remote sensing tasks from different domains and resolutions (i.e.
