Remote SAMsing: From Segment Anything to Segment Everything

Dimensions overall score 4.0

• An open-source pipeline enhances remote sensing image segmentation by improving mask quality and spatial consistency without retraining existing models. We propose Remote SAMsing, an open-source pipeline that solves both problems without modifying SAM2 or requiring training data.problem 35%

• SAM2 produces high-quality zero-shot segmentation on natural images, but applying it to large remote sensing scenes exposes two problems: (1) its mask generator faces an inherent quality-coverage trade-off: strict thresholds yield precise masks but leave most of the image unsegmented, while relaxed thresholds increase coverage at the cost of mask quality; and (2) large images must be tiled, fragmenting objects across tile boundaries.

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 4.0/10 on the public viability pass. Per-class evaluation shows that SAM2 transfers well to discrete RS objects (buildings 95\%, cars 82--93\% Det@0.5) with segment boundaries 3--8$\times$ more precise than SLIC and Felzenszwalb baselines.result 35%
