Weakly Supervised Spatio-Temporal Candidate Discovery of Dairy Farm Sites from Seasonal Satellite Imagery
Farm site discovery from satellite imagery is a spatiotemporal candidate ranking problem because farm evidence is distributed across pasture, field boundaries, roads, buildings, and seasonal vegetation patterns. Direct farm labels are often incomplete, which makes fully supervised detection difficult. This paper proposes a weakly supervised pipeline for ranking dairy farm candidate clusters from seasonal Sentinel imagery and open map priors. The method uses aligned spring, summer, and autumn image tiles from County Cork, Ireland, with spectral bands, vegetation indices, built area indices, and
