Add model card for TerraScope
Browse filesHi! I'm Niels from the Hugging Face community science team. I've opened this PR to add a model card for TerraScope.
This includes:
- Metadata for better discoverability (pipeline tag, library name, license).
- Links to the paper ([TerraScope: Pixel-Grounded Visual Reasoning for Earth Observation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2603.19039)), the project page, and the code repository.
- A description of the model's key capabilities in geospatial reasoning.

# TerraScope: Pixel-Grounded Visual Reasoning for Earth Observation
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
[**TerraScope**](https://shuyansy.github.io/terrascope/) is a unified Vision-Language Model (VLM) specifically designed for Earth Observation (EO). It addresses tasks that require grounding complex spatial reasoning in precise pixel-level visual representations.

## Model Description
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
TerraScope delivers pixel-grounded geospatial reasoning with two key capabilities:
|
| 23 |
+
1. **Modality-flexible reasoning:** It handles single-modality inputs (optical or SAR) and adaptively fuses different modalities into the reasoning process when both are available.
|
| 24 |
+
2. **Multi-temporal reasoning:** It integrates temporal sequences for change analysis across multiple time points.
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
The model was trained on **Terra-CoT**, a large-scale dataset containing 1 million samples with pixel-level masks embedded in reasoning chains. It demonstrates significant performance on **TerraScope-Bench**, a benchmark evaluating both answer accuracy and mask quality for geospatial tasks.
