MapSAM: adapting segment anything model for automated feature detection in historical maps by Xue Xia, Daiwei Zhang, Wenxuan Song, Wei Huang, Lorenz Hurni

“…Despite this, directly applying SAM in a zero-shot manner to historical map segmentation poses significant challenges, including poor recognition of certain geospatial features and a reliance on input prompts, which limits its ability to be fully automated. To address these challenges, we introduce MapSAM, a parameter-efficient fine-tuning strategy that adapts SAM into a prompt-free and versatile solution for various downstream historical map segmentation tasks. …”
