+
+### 🛠 Model Purpose
+This model is part of the **[GeoAi](https://github.com/decision-labs/geoai.js)** javascript library.
+
+**GeoAi** enables geospatial AI inference **directly in the browser or Node.js** without requiring a heavy backend.
+
+**GeoAi** pipeline accepts **geospatial polygons** as input (in GeoJSON format) and outputs results as a **GeoJSON FeatureCollection**, ready for use with libraries like **Leaflet** and **Mapbox GL**.

+
+## Models and measured metrics
+
+These values are copied from the supplied metrics files; they were not fabricated or recomputed during this audit.
+
+- RGB land cover: U-Net/MiT-B2, FLAIR-1 official geographic domains, toy mode (207 train and 43 validation patches). Best validation mIoU `0.263760`; macro F1 `0.372335`. No held-out test or target-domain result is present.
+- Buildings: SatlasPretrain `Aerial_SwinB_SI`, SpaceNet 2 train Vegas/Shanghai, validation Paris, test Khartoum. Test semantic IoU `0.564029`, instance precision/recall/F1@0.5 `0.268991/0.384752/0.316623`, matched IoU `0.703252`, count MAE `13.6167`, relative count error `0.698804`.
+- Water: SatlasPretrain `Sentinel2_SwinB_SI_MS` with explicit spectral branch, Sen1Floods11 event-exclusive test on Bolivia and Paraguay. Test IoU `0.715703`, precision `0.920903`, recall `0.762580`, F1 `0.834297`, specificity `0.993137`, dark-land/shadow FPR `0.005988`.
+- Sentinel-2 land cover: no trained checkpoint and therefore no metrics. The registry marks it unavailable.
+
+## Verification performed
+
+- `pytest`: 15 passed. Coverage includes band/order/scale rejection, tiling and padding, seam-free Hann blending, deterministic output, global overlap deduplication, touching-building separation, nodata/all-unknown behavior, fusion priority, shadow-versus-water gating, CRS/transform/dimensions/mask preservation, resolution validation, and evaluation sanity checks.
+- Python byte compilation passed for package and tests.
+- Colab notebook parsed as notebook format 4 with 11 cells.
+- Building checkpoint loaded with `strict=True`: 89,698,146 parameters.
+- Water checkpoint loaded with `strict=True`: 89,832,290 parameters.
+- The RGB land-cover checkpoint architecture is recorded as `segmentation_models_pytorch.Unet(encoder_name='mit_b2', classes=15)`; strict loading was not run in the local audit environment because that optional package is not installed there. Setup installs it before inference.
+
+## Remaining work before an accuracy claim
+
+1. Run the Colab notebook in `full` mode after adding geographically separated road/impervious pixel labels; DFC2020 alone cannot validate that independent class.
+2. Copy the exported best Sentinel-2 checkpoint into this bundle, set its registry path and `available` flag, then run `python -m satquery.cli ... --require-all-models` on representative 13-band scenes.
+3. Evaluate all three tasks on held-out target geographies and sensors, report by scene/geography, and generate the required categorized worst-failure panels.
+4. Retune thresholds only on validation scenes. Do not tune on test or deployment imagery.
+
+Until those steps are complete, the implementation is structurally verified but the overall unified pipeline is not validated for production accuracy.

+# Unified SatQuery model card
+
+Version: 1.0.0 (registry 2026.09.22)
+
+Intended use: geospatial decision support for RGB VHR land cover and visible building footprints, plus Sentinel-2 surface-water mapping. Outputs are model estimates, not survey-grade inventories.
+
+The exact model, sensor, band, normalization, resolution, threshold, tiling, checkpoint, class, and provenance contracts are machine-readable in `model_registry.json`. Reported numbers come from the existing bundle artifacts and are not recomputed or represented as target-domain accuracy.
+
+Known gaps: RGB land cover used only a bounded FLAIR toy run; RGB building held-out instance F1 is low under a cross-city test; Sentinel-2 land-cover weights are not yet trained; DFC2020 lacks an independent road class; optical water cannot see through thick cloud. Production use requires representative target-domain evaluation by geography and sensor.

+# SatQuery land-cover pipeline
+
+This bundle provides strict, geospatial inference for RGB very-high-resolution (VHR) imagery and 13-band Sentinel-2 L1C imagery. It preserves source CRS, affine transform, dimensions, and validity masks; blends overlapping tiles with a Hann window; separates buildings once on the final mosaic; and records every model and threshold in `model_registry.json`.
+
+## Current model status
+
+| Route | Model | Status | Honest validation status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| RGB land cover | U-Net, MiT-B2 encoder, 15 FLAIR classes aggregated to 7 canonical classes | trained checkpoint included | bounded FLAIR toy run; validation mIoU 0.2638, not target-domain production validation |
+| RGB buildings | SatlasPretrain `Aerial_SwinB_SI`, Swin-v2-Base + FPN, footprint/boundary heads | trained sibling bundle | held-out Khartoum instance F1@0.5 0.3166; counts are low-confidence under domain shift |
+| Sentinel-2 water | SatlasPretrain `Sentinel2_SwinB_SI_MS` + six-feature spectral branch | trained sibling bundle | held-out Bolivia/Paraguay F1 0.8343; dark-land FPR 0.0060 |
+| Sentinel-2 land cover | SatlasPretrain `Sentinel2_SwinB_SI_MS` + segmentation head | training workflow included, checkpoint absent | unavailable until full geographically separated training and road-label coverage are completed |
+
+The pipeline does not substitute RGB data into a multispectral model or multispectral data into the RGB model. The missing Sentinel-2 land-cover checkpoint is reported explicitly; `--require-all-models` makes it fatal.
+
+## Setup
+
+Python 3.10–3.13 is recommended. From this directory:
+
+```powershell
+py -3.12 -m venv .venv
+.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+python -m pip install -e ".[test]"
+python -m pytest
+```
+
+PyTorch installation can be selected separately from the official PyTorch installer when a particular CUDA build is needed. CPU fallback is automatic; CUDA inference uses mixed precision unless `--no-amp` is supplied.
+
+## Input contract
+
+RGB VHR input must be a three-band GeoTIFF in exact red, green, blue order, with values in 0–1 or 0–255. Band descriptions are checked when present. Individual-building counts are meaningful only for suitable VHR resolution; target-domain validation remains required.
+
+Sentinel-2 input must contain all 13 L1C bands on one aligned grid in this exact order:
+
+```text
+B01 B02 B03 B04 B05 B06 B07 B08 B8A B09 B10 B11 B12
+```
+
+Values must be reflectance in 0–1 or digital numbers in approximately 0–10000. Because guessing band order is unsafe, a 13-band file must have exact band descriptions or be accompanied by `--band-order`. A cloud mask may be supplied with `--cloud-mask`; nonzero pixels are invalid and remain unknown. The mask must match the raster grid exactly.
+
+## Inference
+
+RGB:
+
+```powershell
+python -m satquery.cli input_rgb.tif outputs_rgb
+```
+
+Sentinel-2 with explicit band order:
+
+```powershell
+python -m satquery.cli input_s2.tif outputs_s2 --band-order B01 B02 B03 B04 B05 B06 B07 B08 B8A B09 B10 B11 B12
+```
+
+Require a complete sensor route and fail if any registered model is missing:
+
+```powershell
+python -m satquery.cli input_s2.tif outputs_s2 --require-all-models --band-order B01 B02 B03 B04 B05 B06 B07 B08 B8A B09 B10 B11 B12
+```
+
+## Outputs
+
+- `landcover_classes.tif`: canonical class IDs: 0 unknown, 1 built-up, 2 vegetation, 3 cropland, 4 bare soil, 5 water, 6 road/impervious.
+- `probability_*.tif`: one GeoTIFF per canonical class.
+- `landcover_confidence.tif` and `ambiguous_pixels.tif`: confidence and pixels withheld as unknown.
+- `water_probability.tif` and `water_mask.tif`: specialist probability/mask for Sentinel-2; RGB uses the land-cover water channel and never invokes the multispectral model.
+- `building_probability.tif`, `building_boundary_probability.tif`, and `building_instance_ids.tif`: RGB building outputs.
+- `buildings.geojson`: compact, globally deduplicated building instances with scores.
+- `inference_metadata.json`: source grid, model versions and hashes, thresholds, model-reported metrics, warnings, and output paths.
+
+## Deterministic fusion
+
+The land-cover output is the base. Invalid, nodata, cloud-masked, and ambiguous pixels stay unknown. Sentinel-2 water overrides the base only when its probability threshold and NDWI/MNDWI, NDVI, AWEI-shadow, brightness, and cirrus gates agree. Building footprints remain a separate instance layer and, when enabled, override land cover to built-up. Water never erases a confident building. All values are registry-controlled and must be retuned only on validation data.
+
+## Evaluation and training
+
+`satquery.evaluation` implements per-class land-cover IoU/precision/recall/F1, macro IoU/F1, balanced accuracy, confusion matrices, water specificity and shadow false-positive rate, and building semantic/instance/count metrics. Reports accept per-scene/geography groups, and `save_failure_visualizations` writes worst-case panels for shadows, clouds, dense/tiny buildings, mixed shorelines, and tile boundaries.
+
+Open `notebooks/landcover_finetuning_colab.ipynb` in Colab. It retains Colab's compatible PyTorch, checks NumPy/SciPy binary compatibility, performs checksum-verified retrying/cached DFC2020 downloads, groups neighboring patches by geography, uses SatlasPretrain multispectral weights, applies geometric/radiometric augmentation, focal-weighted cross-entropy plus Dice, AMP, checkpoint resume, early stopping, and exports a ZIP. Set `MODE = 'full'` before final training. The notebook deliberately blocks production registration in its model card because DFC2020 has no independent road mask; add geographically separated road/impervious masks, rerun, and register the resulting checkpoint only after every required class has held-out support.
+
+## Limitations and troubleshooting
+
+- The existing RGB land-cover weights came from a small demonstration run. Do not infer production accuracy from successful execution.
+- The current Sentinel-2 route can produce validated water output but not validated full land cover. Use `--require-all-models` when partial output is unacceptable.
+- Optical models cannot see through thick cloud. Supply a cloud mask and consider Sentinel-1 fusion for all-weather flood work.
+- Building performance transfers poorly across sensors, geographies, look angles, and resolutions; touching roofs, tiny structures, and shadows affect counts.
+- If Colab reports a NumPy/SciPy ABI error after installing packages, restart the runtime and rerun all cells.
+- If a band-order or scale error occurs, fix source metadata or pass the exact order; do not reorder by guesswork.
+
+See `FINAL_AUDIT.md` for verification evidence and the precise remaining validation gaps.
