​​Segment Anything

The Segment Anything project aims to democratize image segmentation in computer vision, a core task used across various applications such as scientific imagery analysis and photo editing. Traditionally, accurate segmentation models require specialized expertise, AI training infrastructure, and large amounts of annotated data. This project introduces a new task, dataset, and model for image segmentation to overcome these challenges and make segmentation more accessible.

The researchers are releasing the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and the Segment Anything 1-Billion mask dataset (SA-1B), the largest segmentation dataset to date. These resources will enable a wide range of applications and further research into foundational models for computer vision. The SA-1B dataset is available for research purposes, while the SAM is provided under the permissive Apache 2.0 open license. Users can explore the demo to try SAM with their own images.
