A framework called FE-SAM improves remote sensing image semantic segmentation by adapting the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to remote sensing images through frequency-domain modulation and edge-guided refinement. It achieves superior mIoU scores, such as 85.24% on ISPRS Vaihingen and 86.73% on ISPRS Potsdam, and enhances boundary precision by 2.72% on B-IoU (d=8) over the next best method.

Key insights

  • Domain-aware architectural modifications, specifically frequency-domain adaptation, are effective in bridging the spectral gap between natural images (SAM's pre-training) and remote sensing data.
  • Explicitly integrating multi-scale, edge-enhanced features extracted directly from the raw input image is crucial for recovering fine spatial details and achieving precise object boundary delineation.
  • The synergistic combination of frequency-modulated feature adaptation and edge-guided refinement significantly enhances both the semantic accuracy and geometric precision of segmentation in remote sensing images.
