Meta has demonstrated a new artificial intelligence-powered model that can 'cut out' any object in any image or video with a single click.
It was able to separate objects in this photo extremely quickly and easily. This mask took a matter of seconds after the image was uploaded.
It should be noted that this took just a matter of a few seconds, which adds to the impressive nature of the technology. “SAM’s advanced capabilities are the result of its training on millions of images and masks collected through the use of a model-in-the-loop ‘data engine.’ Researchers used SAM and its data to interactively annotate images and update the model. This cycle was repeated many times over to improve both the model and the dataset,” Meta explains.
“After annotating enough masks with SAM’s help, we were able to leverage SAM’s sophisticated ambiguity-aware design to annotate new images fully automatically. To do this, we present SAM with a grid of points on an image and ask SAM to segment everything at each point. Our final dataset includes more than 1.1 billion segmentation masks collected on ~11 million licensed and privacy preserving images.
Meta says that it is capable of outputting multiple masks even if the subject is somewhat ambiguous — which is particularly impressive considering that this is just the power of the foundational model that is designed to demonstrate the technology. Meta says it intends to make the system “promptable” which allows it to receive input from a variety of sources ranging from where a user wearing a VR headset is looking to text descriptions.
