EarthEmbeddingExplorer: A Web Application for Cross-Modal Retrieval of Global Satellite Images

Mar 31, 2026

This work addresses the challenge of transforming Earth observation foundation models and their associated embeddings into open, accessible scientific tools that support cross-modal retrieval and discovery. The authors present a cloud-native, interactive web platform that, for the first time, publicly provides precomputed embeddings for global satellite imagery. The system integrates three complementary query modalities—natural language, image similarity, and geographic coordinates—enabling efficient, low-barrier, multimodal search over remote sensing data. By bridging the gap between advanced academic models and real-world applications, the platform significantly enhances the accessibility and scientific utility of Earth observation data at a global scale.
