Segment Anything
SAM is an advanced AI-powered segmentation system capable of zero-shot generalization to diverse objects and images through customizable prompts.
About Segment Anything
Segment Anything (SAM), developed by Meta AI, is a versatile promptable segmentation system that generalizes to new objects and images without additional training. It allows users to easily isolate any object in an image with a single click. SAM supports various input prompts to handle a wide array of segmentation tasks. Trained on millions of images and masks through a data engine, it offers robust performance for diverse applications.
How to Use
Users can interact with SAM by providing prompts such as points, bounding boxes, or automatic segmentation. It can also be integrated into AR/VR systems or object detection pipelines for text-based segmentation. Try the live demo available on the official website to experience its capabilities.
