The Segment Anything Model (SAM) produces high-quality object masks from input prompts such as points or boxes, and it can be used to generate masks for all objects in an image. It has been trained on a dataset of 11 million images and 1.1 billion masks, and has strong zero-shot performance on a variety of segmentation tasks. The abstract of the paper states:

We introduce the Segment Anything (SA) project: a new task, model, and dataset for image segmentation. Using our efficient model in a data collection loop, we built the largest segmentation dataset to date (by far), with over 1 billion masks on 11M licensed and privacy respecting images. The model is designed and trained to be promptable, so it can transfer zero-shot to new image distributions and tasks. We evaluate its capabilities on numerous tasks and find that its zero-shot performance is impressive -- often competitive with or even superior to prior fully supervised results. We are releasing the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and corresponding dataset (SA-1B) of 1B masks and 11M images at https://segment-anything.com to foster research into foundation models for computer vision.

Model Details

The SAM model is made up of 3 modules:

• The VisionEncoder: a VIT based image encoder. It computes the image embeddings using attention on patches of the image. Relative Positional Embedding is used.
• The PromptEncoder: generates embeddings for points and bounding boxes
• The MaskDecoder: a two-ways transformer which performs cross attention between the image embedding and the point embeddings (->) and between the point embeddings and the image embeddings. The outputs are fed
• The Neck: predicts the output masks based on the contextualized masks produced by the MaskDecoder.
