| # Leaves.PH: Metro Manila tree-canopy series |
|
|
| Open per-LGU and per-barangay annual tree-canopy estimates for the 17 LGUs of |
| Metro Manila (2019 to 2026), measured from Sentinel-2 imagery with a |
| human-calibrated classifier. Canopy here is a dense-vegetation proxy, not a |
| pixel-exact tree census. Read each year as a cross-sectional snapshot, not a |
| validated change series. |
|
|
| ## What is in this repo |
|
|
| - `per_lgu/per_lgu_canopy_2019_2026.csv`, `per_barangay/per_barangay_canopy_2019_2026_model.csv`: the published canopy series. |
| - `MODEL_CARD.md`, `BENCHMARKS.md`, `RESULTS.md`: accuracy, intended use, known biases, and the 656-label evaluation. All metrics live here. |
| - `canopy_model/`: the published classifier, its 656 manual gold labels, and the ablation it was chosen from. |
| - `validation_v3/*.png`: per-LGU visual validation panels. |
|
|
| The CLIP detection artefacts are a separate research track (in optimization) and |
| are not the source of any published figure. |
