Meta AI' Segment Anything Model (SAM) for Geospatial Data
Project description
segment-geospatial
A Python package for segmenting geospatial data with the Segment Anything Model (SAM)
Introduction
The segment-geospatial package draws its inspiration from segment-anything-eo repository authored by Aliaksandr Hancharenka. To facilitate the use of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for geospatial data, I have developed the segment-anything-py and segment-geospatial Python packages, which are now available on PyPI and conda-forge. My primary objective is to simplify the process of leveraging SAM for geospatial data analysis by enabling users to achieve this with minimal coding effort. I have adapted the source code of segment-geospatial from the segment-anything-eo repository, and credit for its original version goes to Aliaksandr Hancharenka.

Features
- Download map tiles from Tile Map Service (TMS) servers and create GeoTIFF files
- Segment GeoTIFF files using the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and HQ-SAM
- Segment remote sensing imagery with text prompts
- Create foreground and background markers interactively
- Load existing markers from vector datasets
- Save segmentation results as common vector formats (GeoPackage, Shapefile, GeoJSON)
- Save input prompts as GeoJSON files
- Visualize segmentation results on interactive maps
Installation
Install from PyPI
segment-geospatial is available on PyPI. To install segment-geospatial, run this command in your terminal:
pip install segment-geospatial
Install from conda-forge
segment-geospatial is also available on conda-forge. If you have
Anaconda or Miniconda installed on your computer, you can install segment-geospatial using the following commands. It is recommended to create a fresh conda environment for segment-geospatial. The following commands will create a new conda environment named geo
and install segment-geospatial and its dependencies:
conda create -n geo python
conda activate geo
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba install -c conda-forge segment-geospatial
If your system has a GPU, but the above commands do not install the GPU version of pytorch, you can force the installation of the GPU version of pytorch using the following command:
mamba install -c conda-forge segment-geospatial "pytorch=*=cuda*"
Samgeo-geospatial has some optional dependencies that are not included in the default conda environment. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
mamba install -c conda-forge groundingdino-py segment-anything-fast

Computing Resources
The Segment Anything Model is computationally intensive, and a powerful GPU is recommended to process large datasets. It is recommended to have a GPU with at least 8 GB of GPU memory. You can utilize the free GPU resources provided by Google Colab. Alternatively, you can apply for AWS Cloud Credit for Research, which offers cloud credits to support academic research. If you are in the Greater China region, apply for the AWS Cloud Credit here.
