Segment Anything Model (SAM) is an innovative AI tool developed by Meta AI that revolutionizes image segmentation by allowing users to 'cut out' any object in any image with just a single click. Its promptable segmentation system is designed to generalize to unfamiliar objects and images without requiring additional training. This flexibility enables a wide range of segmentation tasks, making it useful for various applications, from simple image editing to complex computer vision tasks.
One of the standout features of SAM is its ability to process diverse input prompts, which can come from various sources, including bounding boxes or even gaze inputs from AR/VR headsets. The outputs generated by SAM are not only limited to static images; they can be utilized in dynamic contexts such as video tracking, 3D modeling, and creative projects like collages. For instance, a graphic designer can leverage SAM to isolate subjects from photographs for use in marketing materials, or a researcher can use it to analyze and track objects in video data efficiently.
