Towards Scalable Identification of Brick Kilns from Satellite Imagery with Active Learning

Authors: Madhav Kanda, Aditi Agarwal, Nipun Batra

Air pollution is a major global issue, worsened by unregulated brick production. Traditional kiln detection is slow, but AI models help by reducing labeling costs. Using active learning, we identified 700+ kilns in India and deployed a web tool for automatic detection.
