SEGMENT ANYTHING 2
Next-generation promptable segmentation for images and video
Apache-2.0
ABOUT
The original Segment Anything Model (SAM) achieved zero-shot segmentation but had limitations in mask fidelity, inference speed, and could only handle still images, requiring frame-by-frame processing for video without temporal consistency. SAM 2 introduces a hierarchical mask decoder with three output levels, simultaneous prediction of multiple masks per prompt, and a memory mechanism that propagates segmentation across video frames. It achieves up to 6× faster inference than SAM 1 while producing more accurate and detailed masks, and extends promptable segmentation to video with tracking across frame sequences.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Segment objects in images with higher accuracy than SAM 1 using the hierarchical decoder with multiple mask outputs per prompt
2. Track objects across video frames with the memory-aware architecture for consistent video segmentation without per-frame prompting
3. Power real-time interactive segmentation applications with up to 6× faster inference than the previous generation
4. Build automated data annotation pipelines that generate high-quality segmentation masks for both images and video datasets
