Combining cadastral records, differential GPS field surveys, and multitemporal satellite imagery from 2009 and 2024, the project trained and deployed deep learning models, including UNET, Mask-RCNN, Vision Transformers, and the Segment Anything Model, to delineate farm boundaries and classify land use within an enterprise PostgreSQL\/PostGIS, QGIS, and GeoServer environment. Across 13,362 km\u00b2 and 1,894 surveyed points, the analysis identified 1,196 agricultural holdings and recorded a 77.7 percent increase in registered agricultural land, from 192.8 million to 342.7 million square meters between 2009 and 2024.<br \/>Delivered within three months despite years of prior delay, the resulting platform replaces fragmented manual records with an accurate, automated, and scalable geospatial system, offering a replicable model for modernizing agricultural land administration in arid and semi-arid regions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Defining Agricultural Holdings in the Najd Region of Dhofar Governorate: An Integrated GeoAI, GIS, and Remote Sensing Approach Short Biography: Ahmed<\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a class=\"myButt \" href=\"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/?page_id=8619\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8619"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8619"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8630,"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8619\/revisions\/8630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jarpartner.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
