Estimating the construction year of buildings is crucial for sustainability and urban planning to combat climate change.
Artificial Intelligence and Transformer models are utilized to estimate the construction epoch of buildings from a multi-modal dataset.
A new benchmark multi-modal dataset called the Map your City Dataset (MyCD) is introduced, containing various types of images co-localized with construction epoch labels.
An AI4EO Challenge was organized based on MyCD, showcasing effective models for estimating the construction year of buildings even in new cities or when using only specific input modalities.
