📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Fine-tune leading pretrained models for tree canopy segmentation using only 150 images to improve environmental monitoring and urban planning

advanced Published 6 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Load a pretrained model using a framework like PyTorch or TensorFlow
  2. Prepare the small dataset of 150 annotated images for fine-tuning
  3. Fine-tune the model on the small dataset using techniques like transfer learning and data augmentation
  4. Evaluate the performance of the fine-tuned model on a validation set
  5. Compare the results with other state-of-the-art models to determine the best approach

Title: Sparse Data Tree Canopy Segmentation: Fine-Tuning Leading Pretrained Models on Only 150 Images

Abstract:
arXiv:2601.10931v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tree canopy detection from aerial imagery is an important task for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and ecosystem analysis. Simulating real-life data annotation scarcity, the Solafune Tree Canopy Detection competition provides a small and imbalanced dataset of only 150 annotated images, posing significant challenges for training deep models without severe overfitting. In this work, we evaluate five representative architectures, Y
