Global Crop Field Delineation with SAM-Based Segmentation and LSTM-Based Pixel Classification

Field boundary delineation is essential for agricultural monitoring and precision farming. Traditional methods rely on region-specific training, limiting their applicability. This study presents a globally transferable method using multi-temporal Planet.com Visual Basemaps at 3m resolution. An adaptive weighted composite image enhances field boundaries, achieving a mean monthly coverage of 94.28%, while the composite image attains 95.23% coverage, demonstrating its effectiveness. SAM2 segments boundaries using zero-shot learning. The LSTM classifier processes pixel-level temporal information to classify each segmented region as either a crop field or a non-field area, achieving 84% accuracy and outperforming traditional methods by 8-12%. Future work includes integrating high-resolution spectral bands and real-time remote sensing for improved monitoring.
