This repository contains an incomplete set of notebooks and code from my MSc dissertation project, 'Identifying solar photovoltaic arrays from aerial imagery', supervised by Professor Paul Ruyssevelt.
Unfortunately, much underlying data was not open, mostly sourced through Digimap Edina (and so available to academic license holders). So, these notebooks will not run. They are also messy, but may be of some interest to somebody. I may tidy them in future.
Code for experiments using RasterVision's geospatial ML pipeline can be found here
The dissertation PDF is the final submitted version (uncorrected), which got a mark of 73 (distinction).
Slides from a talk on this project from the Edina Geoforum 2020 can be found here

This project was inspired by Open Climate Fix, a non-profit org who use computers to fight climate change. .
