Case study
Automated Coastal Structure Detection with SAM
IoU > 0.85 across 12 segments
The problem
Manual digitization of coastal structures is time-consuming when working across high-resolution satellite imagery.
Our approach
We used prompt engineering with SAM to automate detection from 0.5 m imagery and tested the pipeline across 12 segments.
- Prepare 0.5 m satellite imagery.
- Design prompts for the Segment Anything Model.
- Run the detection pipeline across 12 segments.
- Compare detections against the target structures.
Technology
Results
- IoU above 0.85 across 12 segments.
- About 60% less manual digitization effort.
