Abstract:Accurate vector mapping of buildings and walls is critical for geospatial applications but remains a labor-intensive process. While recent deep learning methods have improved automatic extraction, in order to meet cartographic standards they always require a human to perform quality control and fix complex cases in the extraction. We present Click2Poly, a human-in-the-loop AI assistant designed to speed up this manual step. Extending the Florence-2 Vision Language Model (VLM), Click2Poly responds to user clicks by editing the building or wall vector layer directly. Implemented as a QGIS plugin, Click2Poly speeds up the manual editing of building and wall vector layers in a real-world production environment.
