Interactive Image Exploration and Detection

Source: R/image.R
sam_explore_image.Rd

Opens an interactive viewer to explore an image and run SAM detection using text prompts, point clicks, or drawn boxes.

Usage

sam_explore_image(image)

Arguments

image

Path to image file (PNG, JPG, etc.). Required.

Value

A geosam_image object when the user clicks "Done", or NULL if cancelled.

Details

The explorer provides a complete workflow:

  1. View and pan/zoom the image

  2. Select a prompt type (text, box, or points)

  3. Enter text or draw/click prompts on the image

  4. Click "Detect" to run SAM

  5. View results

  6. Click "Done" to return the geosam_image object

The viewer uses MapLibre with a blank background and the image displayed as a raster layer, enabling all standard map interactions.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Explore a photo
result <- sam_explore_image("photo.jpg")

# Extract detected regions
if (!is.null(result)) {
  polygons <- sam_as_sf(result)
}
} # }
