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.

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 code requires python>=3.8, as well as pytorch>=1.7 and torchvision>=0.8. Please follow the instructions here to install both PyTorch and TorchVision dependencies. Installing both PyTorch and TorchVision with CUDA support is strongly recommended.
Install Segment Anything:
pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything.git
or clone the repository locally and install with
git clone git@github.com:facebookresearch/segment-anything.git
cd segment-anything; pip install -e .
The following optional dependencies are necessary for mask post-processing, saving masks in COCO format, the example notebooks, and exporting the model in ONNX format. jupyter is also required to run the example notebooks.
pip install opencv-python pycocotools matplotlib onnxruntime onnx
First download a model checkpoint. Then the model can be used in just a few lines to get masks from a given prompt:
from segment_anything import SamPredictor, sam_model_registry
sam = sam_model_registry["<model_type>"](checkpoint="<path/to/checkpoint>")
predictor = SamPredictor(sam)
predictor.set_image(<your_image>)
masks, _, _ = predictor.predict(<input_prompts>)
or generate masks for an entire image:
from segment_anything import SamAutomaticMaskGenerator, sam_model_registry
sam = sam_model_registry["<model_type>"](checkpoint="<path/to/checkpoint>")
mask_generator = SamAutomaticMaskGenerator(sam)
masks = mask_generator.generate(<your_image>)
Additionally, masks can be generated for images from the command line:
python scripts/amg.py --checkpoint <path/to/checkpoint> --model-type <model_type> --input <image_or_folder> --output <path/to/output>
See the examples notebooks on using SAM with prompts and automatically generating masks for more details.
SAM's lightweight mask decoder can be exported to ONNX format so that it can be run in any environment that supports ONNX runtime, such as in-browser as showcased in the demo. Export the model with
python scripts/export_onnx_model.py --checkpoint <path/to/checkpoint> --model-type <model_type> --output <path/to/output>
See the example notebook for details on how to combine image preprocessing via SAM's backbone with mask prediction using the ONNX model. It is recommended to use the latest stable version of PyTorch for ONNX export.
The demo/ folder has a simple one page React app which shows how to run mask prediction with the exported ONNX model in a web browser with multithreading. Please see demo/README.md for more details.
Three model versions of the model are available with different backbone sizes. These models can be instantiated by running
from segment_anything import sam_model_registry
sam = sam_model_registry["<model_type>"](checkpoint="<path/to/checkpoint>")

We save masks per image as a json file. It can be loaded as a dictionary in python in the below format.
{
"image" : image_info,
"annotations" : [annotation],
}
image_info {
"image_id" : int, # Image id
"width" : int, # Image width
"height" : int, # Image height
"file_name" : str, # Image filename
}
annotation {
"id" : int, # Annotation id
"segmentation" : dict, # Mask saved in COCO RLE format.
"bbox" : [x, y, w, h], # The box around the mask, in XYWH format
"area" : int, # The area in pixels of the mask
"predicted_iou" : float, # The model's own prediction of the mask's quality
"stability_score" : float, # A measure of the mask's quality
"crop_box" : [x, y, w, h], # The crop of the image used to generate the mask, in XYWH format
"point_coords" : [[x, y]], # The point coordinates input to the model to generate the mask
}Image ids can be found in sa_images_ids.txt which can be downloaded using the above link as well.
To decode a mask in COCO RLE format into binary:
from pycocotools import mask as mask_utils
mask = mask_utils.decode(annotation["segmentation"])
See here for more instructions to manipulate masks stored in RLE format.
