Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) is a foundation model towards solving promptable visual segmentation in images and videos. We extend SAM to video by considering images as a video with a single frame. The model design is a simple transformer architecture with streaming memory for real-time video processing. We build a model in the loop data engine, which improves model and data via user interaction, to collect our SA-V dataset, the largest video segmentation dataset to date. SAM 2 trained on our data provides strong performance across a wide range of tasks and visual domains.
Please install SAM 2 on a GPU machine using:
git clone git@github.com:facebookresearch/segment-anything-2.git
cd segment-anything-2; pip install -e .To use the SAM 2 predictor and run the example notebooks, jupyter and matplotlib are required and can be installed by:
pip install -e ".[demo]"First, we need to download a model checkpoint. All the model checkpoints can be downloaded by running:
cd checkpoints
./download_ckpts.shor individually from:
Then SAM 2 can be used in a few lines as follows for image and video prediction.
SAM 2 has all the capabilities of SAM on static images, and we provide image prediction APIs that closely resemble SAM for image use cases. The SAM2ImagePredictor class has an easy interface for image prompting.
import torch
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2
from sam2.sam2_image_predictor import SAM2ImagePredictor
checkpoint = "./checkpoints/sam2_hiera_large.pt"
model_cfg = "sam2_hiera_l.yaml"
predictor = SAM2ImagePredictor(build_sam2(model_cfg, checkpoint))
with torch.inference_mode(), torch.autocast("cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
predictor.set_image(<your_image>)
masks, _, _ = predictor.predict(<input_prompts>)Please refer to the examples in image_predictor_example.ipynb for static image use cases.
SAM 2 also supports automatic mask generation on images just like SAM. Please see automatic_mask_generator_example.ipynb for automatic mask generation in images.
For promptable segmentation and tracking in videos, we provide a video predictor with APIs for example to add prompts and propagate masklets throughout a video. SAM 2 supports video inference on multiple objects and uses an inference state to keep track of the interactions in each video.
import torch
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2_video_predictor
checkpoint = "./checkpoints/sam2_hiera_large.pt"
model_cfg = "sam2_hiera_l.yaml"
predictor = build_sam2_video_predictor(model_cfg, checkpoint)
with torch.inference_mode(), torch.autocast("cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
state = predictor.init_state(<your_video>)
# add new prompts and instantly get the output on the same frame
frame_idx, object_ids, masks = predictor.add_new_points(state, <your prompts>):
# propagate the prompts to get masklets throughout the video
for frame_idx, object_ids, masks in predictor.propagate_in_video(state):
...Please refer to the examples in video_predictor_example.ipynb for details on how to add prompts, make refinements, and track multiple objects in videos.
