Prompt-Based Segmentation at Multiple Resolutions and Lighting Conditions using Segment Anything Model 2
<|reference_start|>Prompt-Based Segmentation at Multiple Resolutions and Lighting Conditions using Segment Anything Model 2: This paper provides insight into the effectiveness of zero-shot, prompt-based, Segment Anything Model (SAM), and its updated version, SAM 2, and the non-promptable, conventional convolutional network (CNN), in segmenting solar panels, in RGB aerial imagery, across lighting conditions, spatial resolutions, and prompt strategies. SAM 2 demonstrates improvements over SAM, particularly in sub-optimal lighting conditions when prompted by points. Both SAMs, prompted by user-box, outperformed CNN, in all scenarios. Additionally, YOLOv9 prompting outperformed user points prompting. In high-resolution imagery, both in optimal and sub-optimal lighting conditions, Eff-UNet outperformed both SAM models prompted by YOLOv9 boxes, positioning Eff-UNet as the appropriate model for automatic segmentation in high-resolution data. In low-resolution data, user box prompts were found crucial to achieve a reasonable performance. This paper provides details on strengths and limitations of each model and outlines robustness of user prompted image segmentation models in inconsistent resolution and lighting conditions of remotely sensed data.<|reference_end|>
