Computers are getting closer to human visual perception levels and are becoming increasingly better at detecting and recognizing objects.
SAM – Segment Anything Model by Meta AI: Complete Guide | Python Installation & Applications
Meta is rolling out an AI image segmentation model that can see and isolate objects in an image even if it has never seen them before. The model, called Segment Anything (SAM), enables faster and more accurate image recognition and reduces the reliance on humans to label objects.
“The flexibility of SAM allows it to be applied across a wide range of industries and use cases, such as agriculture, retail, medical imaging and geospatial imagery, leading to better results and increased efficiency,” Ulrik Stig Hansen, president of Encord, a software company that recently integrated SAM into its product, told Lifewire in an email interview.
Meta's software could be a major boon for computer vision researchers. SAM is an image segmentation model that can respond to text prompts or user clicks to isolate specific objects within an image, Meta researchers wrote in a blog post .
