This paper addresses the challenge of olive tree segmentation using drone imagery, which is crucial for precision agriculture applications. We tackle the data scarcity issue by augmenting existing detection datasets. Additionally, lightweight model variations of state-of-the-art models like YOLOv8n, RepViT-SAM, and EdgeSAM are combined into two proposed pipelines to meet computational constraints while maintaining segmentation accuracy. Our multifaceted approach successfully achieves an equilibrium among model size, inference time, and accuracy, thereby facilitating efficient olive tree segmentation in precision agriculture scenarios with constrained datasets. Following comprehensive evaluations, YOLOv8n appears to surpass the other models in terms of inference time and accuracy, albeit necessitating a more intricate fine-tuning procedure. Conversely, SAM-based pipelines provide a significantly more streamlined fine-tuning process, compatible with existing detection datasets for olive trees. However, this convenience incurs the disadvantages of a more elaborate inference architecture that relies on dual models, consequently yielding lower performance metrics and prolonged inference durations.
