AlgaeGuard — Autonomous HAB Detection from Orbit

Fine-tuned LFM2.5-VL-450M on Sentinel-2 NDCI imagery for sub-90-minute Harmful Algal Bloom alerts — directly from the satellite, before the crisis hits.

Features

• Live Demo — 218 real Sentinel-2 observations across 6 water bodies
• Historical HAB Timeline — interactive bloom severity charts (2022–2024)
• Custom Inference — upload any NDCI colormap or fetch live from SimSat
• ZeroGPU inference — ~4s per assessment on GPU

Optional: Live Satellite Fetch

Set the SIMSAT_API_URL Space secret to enable live Sentinel-2 data fetch for any coordinates on Earth via SimSat.
