New Data Challenge: The AgriFieldNet India Challenge to classify crops in Ag fields

[Louisa Nakanuku-Diggs]

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share Radiant Earth Foundation's latest data challenge, the AgriFieldNet India Challenge. The goal of this challenge is to classify crop types in agricultural fields across Northern India using multispectral observations from Sentinel-2 satellite. Fields are located in various districts in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha, and Bihar. 

The AgriFieldNet India training dataset is generated by us, using the ground reference data collected and provided by IDinsight's Data on Demand team.

The top prize for the winning model is $5,000 USD, followed by $3,000 USD (second place), and $2,000 USD (third place). You may participate in competitions as an individual or in a team of up to four people. The challenge closes on Oct 31.

If you are on Twitter, I also ask that you like or retweet the competition announcement. Thank you in advance! 

Best,

Louisa
