Fields of the Planet: Field Boundary Mapping Beyond 10m
Abstract
Fields of the Planet improves smallholder field delineation by pairing high-resolution PlanetScope imagery with existing polygon datasets, significantly boosting parcel recovery and boundary accuracy.
Field-boundary maps support crop monitoring, irrigation planning, and yield estimation, but many smallholder parcels span only a few 10 m Sentinel-2 pixels. We introduce Fields of the Planet (FTP), a 3 m PlanetScope companion to Fields of The World (FTW) that pairs the same polygons, seasonal windows, and train/test splits with 133,168 co-registered PlanetScope patch-window targets across 24 countries. FTP evaluates field delineation as parcel recovery by vectorizing predictions before scoring panoptic quality (PQ), object F1, size-stratified PQ, and meter-scale matched-boundary error. Under matched architectures and training recipes, 3 m imagery raises PQ from 21.0 to 35.5, raises PQ on sub-0.5 ha fields from 5.8 to 15.7, and cuts matched-boundary error from 18.6 m to 7.4 m.
