Detection Classes Catalog

V1 required class

building

Reason: Buildings are the best first detection target because GRB can be used as a reference layer for QA/QC.

Outputs:

• bounding box polygon
• confidence
• source tile
• model id

V1 optional classes

solar_panel

High portfolio value but dataset/model availability may be harder.

vehicle

Useful for generic object detection demo but less central to GIS validation.

tree

Potentially useful but segmentation may be more appropriate than bounding boxes.

Not required for V1

• roads as object detection class
• water as object detection class
• agriculture as object detection class

These are better handled through segmentation or raster indices.
