DINO: Meta's Neural Network for Analyzing Land and Greening Cities
Meta has published a case study on using computer vision in climate policy. Its DINOv2 model analyzes satellite imagery and helps the British government identify areas suitable for greening. The approach cuts survey costs and speeds up the expansion of parks in British cities. *Meta is designated an extremist organization and banned in Russia.

Meta's DINOv2 neural network is helping British authorities analyze land for urban greening and cut the cost of traditional land surveys.
How are companies using AI to analyze land?
Meta uses the DINOv2 model, trained on 1.4 billion images, to automatically analyze plots of land. This makes it possible to identify suitable areas for new parks and reduce the cost of traditional land surveys.
What is a self-supervised vision transformer?
DINOv2 is a self-supervised vision transformer developed by Meta. The model trains without labeled data and is moving from research labs into the hands of UK government bodies, which use it to analyze land.
What is DINO and how is it used?
DINO (DINOv2) is a self-supervised vision transformer from Meta, trained on 1.4 billion images. In the UK, the model helps government bodies analyze land, identify suitable areas for new parks and cut the cost of traditional surveys.
