How to Use the Segment Anything Model (SAM)
Learn how to use the Segment Anything Model (SAM) in this written guide accompanied by a YouTube video.
Segment Anything, released in April 2023 by Meta Research, is an image segmentation computer vision model trained using a new dataset. The model itself is called Segment Anything Model (SAM). Using SAM, you can generate segmentation masks for all of the objects in an image that the model can find, or masks for objects that meet a provided text prompt.
SAM has strong zero-shot capabilities, meaning it can segment unrecognized objects without further training. This provides SAM with a large advantage over other segmentation models which may require fine-tuning for different uses.
The dataset on which SAM was trained contains over one billion image masks and 11 million images.
