Artificial Intelligence Deep Learning Model for Mapping Wetlands

Chesapeake Conservancy’s data science team also developed an artificial intelligence deep learning model for mapping wetlands that has 94% accuracy. Supported by EPRI, an independent, nonprofit energy research and development institute; Lincoln Electric System; and the Grayce B. Kerr Fund, Inc., this method for wetland mapping could deliver important outcomes for protecting and conserving wetlands. The results are published in the peer-reviewed journal Science of the Total Environment (February 2023).
