Closing panel at #CV4GOOD, and the room is full.

Joseph Redmon, Sara Beery, Lorenz Wendt and Yann Rebois on dual use, governance, and the research agenda.

Moderated by Federico Tombari. #ECCV2026

Joseph Redmon (@allen_ai) at #CV4GOOD opened with: "Can we build the panopticon, but, like, for good?"

Their answer isn't a vibe, it's mechanisms. License barring military, defense, police, surveillance and extractive use.

Invitation-only platform. Code fully open. #ECCV2026

Sara Beery at #CV4GOOD.

Active learning gets evaluated inductively, on a held-out test set. But ecologists want the whole pool labeled.

Evaluate transductively and rare classes suddenly beat common ones — look at the pink bars. #ECCV2026

Back from the break at #CV4GOOD with Sara Beery (@MIT): "Targeting Human Verification for Robust Deployment of AI in Ecology."

Room D2. #ECCV2026

Corey Scher at #CV4GOOD on damage mapping under pressure.

Ukraine: 42,000+ settlements monitored, damage in over 5% of them, 90% within 360 km of the frontline.

Gaza: 58 maps in the first year, roughly one a week, shared with journalists and humanitarians. #ECCV2026

Jamon Van Den Hoek at #CV4GOOD on the data gap our field rarely models.

Satellite coverage isn't "everywhere, all the time" — it's uneven across time and space.

And conflict zones get hit twice: sparse collection, plus embargoes and restrictions on commercial imagery. #ECCV2026

Next at #CV4GOOD: Lorenz Wendt (Z_GIS / CDL GEOHUM, Salzburg) on EO for humanitarian action 🌱

The whole pipeline in one slide: request → data integration → semi-automated analysis → spatial analysis → information products → ground validation.

EO services for MSF since 2011. #ECCV2026

Yann Rebois (@msf.org) at #CV4GOOD:

"The challenge is no longer only detecting features from satellite imagery; it is turning imperfect but timely AI outputs into trusted operational support for humanitarian teams."

The bottleneck is operational integration, not only model development. #ECCV2026

And we're off — @pierl.bsky.social opening the 1st edition of #CV4GOOD 🌱

Not only whether CV can help humanitarian action, but how to make it reliable enough for high-stakes decisions and accountable enough to deserve trust.

Full room in D2 #ECCV2026

#CV4GOOD at #ECCV2026 is live🌱

Room D2, Malmömässan. Half a day where computer vision sits face to face with frontline humanitarian practice — what works in the field, what fails, what's missing.

The Good AI Lab × Médecins Sans Frontières. 1st edition.
