+# Depth Any Canopy Base
+
+<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
+
+This is the base version of Depth Any Canopy presented in Depth Any Canopy Paper. A [Small version](https://huggingface.co/DarthReca/depth-any-canopy-small) is also available.
+
+## Model Details
+
+<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->
+
+The model is Depth-Anything-Base finetuned for canopy height estimation on a filtered set of [EarthView](https://huggingface.co/datasets/satellogic/EarthView).
+
+- **License:** Apache 2.0
+- **Finetuned from model:** [Depth-Anything-Base](https://huggingface.co/depth-anything/Depth-Anything-V2-Base-hf)
+
+## Uses and Limitations
+
+<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
+
+The model is capable of working with aerial imagery of NEON. The coverage is limited to the US. We cannot guarantee its generalizability over other areas of the globe.
+The images cover only RGB channels; no study of hyperspectral imagery was done.
+
+## How to Get Started with the Model
+
+Use the code below to get started with the model.
+
+```python
+# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
+from transformers import pipeline
+
+pipe = pipeline("depth-estimation", model="DarthReca/depth-any-canopy-base")
+
+# Load model directly
+from transformers import AutoModelForDepthEstimation
+
+model = AutoModelForDepthEstimation.from_pretrained("DarthReca/depth-any-canopy-base")
+```
+
+## Environmental Impact
+
+<!-- Total emissions (in grams of CO2eq) and additional considerations, such as electricity usage, go here. Edit the suggested text below accordingly -->
+
+- **Carbon Emitted:** 0.14 kgCO2
+
+Carbon emissions are estimated using the [Machine Learning Impact calculator](https://mlco2.github.io/impact#compute).
+
+## Citation
+
+<!-- If there is a paper or blog post introducing the model, the APA and Bibtex information for that should go in this section. -->
