CLI Anything Samgeo

cli-anything-samgeo

Segment geospatial imagery (satellite, aerial, drone) using Meta AI's Segment Anything Model (SAM) family from the command line. Supports SAM v1, SAM 2, SAM 3, FastSAM, HQ-SAM, and LangSAM (text-based).

Installation

Requires Python >= 3.10.

pip install segment-geospatial[all]
cd agent-harness && pip install -e .

Syntax

cli-anything-samgeo [--json] [--project PATH] COMMAND [ARGS...]

Global flags:

• --json — Machine-readable JSON output (use this for agent consumption)
• --project PATH — Path to project JSON file (required for project-scoped commands)

Example Workflows

Satellite image segmentation pipeline

# Download tiles
cli-anything-samgeo --json data download-tiles -o image.tif -b "-122.42,37.77,-122.40,37.79" -z 17

# Create project
cli-anything-samgeo --json project new -n urban-seg -o project.json -s image.tif -t sam2

# Run automatic segmentation
cli-anything-samgeo --json --project project.json segment automatic -o masks.tif

# Convert to GeoPackage
cli-anything-samgeo --json vector convert masks.tif buildings.gpkg --simplify 1.0

# Export as GeoJSON
cli-anything-samgeo --json --project project.json export render output.geojson -f geojson --overwrite

Text-based segmentation

cli-anything-samgeo --json project new -n text-seg -o proj.json -s image.tif -t text_sam
cli-anything-samgeo --json --project proj.json segment text -o masks.tif -t "buildings"
cli-anything-samgeo --json vector convert masks.tif buildings.gpkg

Agent Guidance

• Always use --json for machine-readable output
• Create a project first before running segmentation commands
• The --project flag must come before the command group
• Check model availability with model check TYPE before segmenting
• Use data info to inspect rasters before processing
• Export formats are auto-detected from file extension in vector convert
• For large images, use --batch with segment automatic
