A new research paper evaluates the effectiveness of different prompting strategies for segmenting small-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems in remote sensing imagery using the SAM3 vision-language foundation model. The study found that spatial guidance significantly improved segmentation accuracy and robustness compared to purely textual prompting. Hybrid prompting, which combines both semantic and spatial cues, yielded the highest accuracy and stability, demonstrating the complementary nature of these guidance types. The research highlights the data efficiency of promptable foundation models, achieving substantial performance gains with only a few hundred annotated samples, making them suitable for mapping PV in data-constrained regions.
