Description

Hello, this looks potentially very useful and I spent the past two or three hours trying to make it work locally, but I am confused.

What are the minimum requirements? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with 4GB of memory and it runs out of memory after I use the tool once (sucessfully). It seems to me memory is not cleared after each run of the tool. When I try to run it on a CPU, it takes 10 minutes to run and I anyway get nothing in JOSM.

I am also not sure about the UI, what SAM AOI does? Given it often runs out of memory, I am not sure if the problem is not there.

It is also very poorly documented how to make it work with https://github.com/GeoCompas/samgeo-service .

Several things that I struggled with:
1. It needed 16 GB for installation of the AI model, so I had to use Podman instead of Docker, as Podman uses your home directory (and my / is only 40 GB) (Docker also had problems with SELINUX on Fedora).
2. Then I had to compile the JOSM plugin, I made a PR for that. to add the steps to the README.
3. It is sadly not very clear how it is supposed to work. What do the buttons AUTO SAM and SAM AOI do? I think I figured that I click on some area, it selects things that have similar color and when I ctrl + click next to it, it enlarges the area.

I am mostly leaving this here for people who will also struggle to make this work.
