SelectAnyTree: A Promptable Instance Segmentation Model for 3D Forest LiDAR Point Clouds

SelectAnyTree is a promptable instance segmentation model designed for 3D forest LiDAR point clouds, enabling users to delineate individual trees with a few clicks. The architecture comprises a sparse voxel scene encoder, a click‑to‑query prompt encoder, and a state‑space query decoder that produces tree masks in linear time, requiring only 19.4 M parameters. Across seven forest regions and an independent dataset, the model achieves a 79.9 % IoU for a single‑click target tree, outperforming existing promptable baselines and requiring the fewest clicks to reach accuracy targets.

Bringing SAM to new heights: Leveraging elevation data for tree crown segmentation from drone imagery

The paper introduces BalSAM, a model that combines the Segment Anything Model (SAM) with Digital Surface Model (DSM) elevation data to improve tree crown instance segmentation from high‑resolution drone imagery. Experiments across boreal plantations, temperate forests, and tropical forests show that while off‑the‑shelf SAM does not beat a custom Mask R-CNN, fine‑tuning SAM end‑to‑end and incorporating DSM information yield promising results, especially for plantation sites.
