Implementing a Visual Classifier for Power Plant Status Prediction

Today we’re joined by Laurence Watson, Co-Founder and CTO of Plentiful Energy and a former data scientist at Carbon Tracker. In our conversation, we discuss: • Carbon Tracker's goals, and their report “Nowhere to hide: Using satellite imagery to estimate the utilisation of fossil fuel power plants”. • How they are using computer vision to process satellite images of coal plants, including how the images are labeled. •Various challenges with the scope and scale of this project.
