Overview
- Delineate Anything is a resolution-agnostic model for field boundary detection in satellite imagery
- Combines Segment Anything Model (SAM) with a feature extraction backbone
- Works across different resolutions (1-10 meters per pixel)
- Achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple datasets with minimal training
- Demonstrates ability to generalize across diverse agricultural regions globally
Plain English Explanation
Mapping farm field boundaries accurately is surprisingly difficult but extremely important. These boundaries help with everything from crop monitoring to water management. The challenge? Satellite images come in different resolutions, fields look different around the world, and...
