1,890 swimming pools found across a 5 square mile suburban neighborhood with zero-shot image segmentation. Lower the confidence threshold to find even more! Use the interactive explorer in the {geosam} R package to try out @Meta 's SAM3 for satellite imagery analysis yourselves. https://walker-data.com/geosam
