Segment Anything Model
SAM is a promptable segmentation system with zero-shot generalization to unfamiliar objects and images, without the need for additional training. The model was trained on Meta AI’s SA-1B dataset for 3-5 days on 256 A100 GPUs. Make sure that you try it!

Abstract
We introduce the Segment Anything (SA) project: a new task, model, and dataset for image segmentation. Using our efficient model in a data collection loop, we built the largest segmentation dataset to date (by far), with over 1 billion masks on 11M licensed and privacy respecting images. The model is designed and trained to be promptable, so it can transfer zero-shot to new image distributions and tasks. We evaluate its capabilities on numerous tasks and find that its zero-shot performance is impressive -- often competitive with or even superior to prior fully supervised results.
We are releasing the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and corresponding dataset (SA-1B) of 1B masks and 11M images at this https URL to foster research into foundation models for computer vision.
