Goal: implement and replicate the model from the paper “Generating Interpretable Poverty Maps Using Object Detection in Satellite Images”.

Approach:

  • Trained a YOLOv3 object detection model on satellite imagery
  • Built a pipeline to count detected objects per image
  • Used object counts as interpretable features for downstream poverty prediction
