SAM - Segment Anything Model by Meta AI - Complete Guide | Python Setup & Applications
AI Summary
Summary: Segment Anything (SAM) Model by Meta AI
- Introduction to SAM:
- Released by Meta AI.
- Versatile model for image segmentation.
- Can segment any visible object in an image.
- Allows point selection for mask extraction.
- Integrates with object detectors for two-stage segmentation.
- Getting Started:
- Tutorial begins in a Roboflow notebook.
- Installation is quick with minimal dependencies.
- Weights are downloaded and verified.
- Example images are downloaded for experimentation.
- Using SAM:
- Multiple modes for inference.
- Automatic mask generation for objects in a scene.
- Support for SAM in Supervisely from version 0.5.0.
- Masks are annotated and visualized with Supervisely.
- Understanding SAM’s Output:
- Returns a list of dictionaries with segmentation masks.
- Masks can be sorted by area.
- Post-processing may be required to handle duplicates.
- Using Points or Bounding Boxes:
- SAM Predictor utility is used.
- Interactive bounding box selection with Jupyter widget.
- Predict method returns masks, scores, and logins.
- Post-processing differs from automatic mask generation.
- Real-time Performance:
- SAM is fast enough for real-time applications.
- Can be used to annotate data quickly.
- Converting Bounding Boxes to Masks:
- Example with brain tumor MRI images.
- Annotations are loaded and converted to masks using SAM.
- Users can experiment with different datasets.
- Conclusion:
- SAM is efficient and fun to use.
- Future videos and projects are planned.
- Blog post and Roboflow annotation tool integration forthcoming.
- Encouragement for community input and inspiration.
- Call to Action:
- Stay tuned for more content.
