Changing the resolution results in a high batch/sample size - dev

[4del-Yousefi]

Hello, Thanks for keeping us updated and fixing the issues, I'm using the Copilot tool with the following settings – I copied and pasted them into the encoder.

It resulted in a very high batch/sample size:

SAM model initialized.

Hi @4del-Yousefi . Can you please share all the logs with us? We are unable to pinpoint the cause of the error based on the description you provided. Additionally, we have released a Python package called GeoSAM-Image-Encoder that does not rely on QGIS. If you're interested, you can also try it out in Colab. https://github.com/coolzhao/Geo-SAM/blob/dev/GeoSAM-Image-Encoder/examples/geosam-image-encoder.ipynb

Hey @Fanchengyan, I have the logs for that run, I also I will try and use the package, thank you!:

Hi @4del-Yousefi . We have found the reason. The resolution exported by Encoder Copilot is in the units of the image projection (in degrees, as in your example). However, Image Encoder currently only supports resolution in meters. We suggest that you estimate the resolution of the image in meters yourself and multiply it by the resolution scale provided in Encoder Copilot. Then manually enter the calculated resolution into Image Encoder. In the future, we will consider how to address this issue.

Thanks, I am not sure how to do the calculation, but will try to figure it out!
also small note, when i use the night theme in QGIS the Copilot menu doesnt show currectly,

Hi @4del-Yousefi, thanks for your feedback. Based on your circumstances, I suggest reprojecting your image into UTM CRS (in meter units). We will continue to improve our tool to handle images with the degree units better.

BTW, by using the default settings of the Encoding Tool, you can find the native resolution of your image in meters from the log information. This can help you decide the target resolution.

[Fanchengyan]

Hi @4del-Yousefi ,If you are unsure about the resolution of your image in meters, you can first reproject the image into a coordinate system with units in meters, such as UTM. After the reprojection, Encoder Copilot will provide the resolution in meters.

changing the coordinate system fixed the issue, however there is a bug with the "Draw on canvas" tool in the copilot, when I reuse it to redraw the area it leaves an artifact of the old selection.

[Fanchengyan]

Hi @4del-Yousefi, it is just due to the bugs for not clearing the canvas properly in the dev version. This will disappear when you restart QGIS. We will fix this in the stable version. Thanks for your feedback.
