• Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving towards artificial general intelligence, which refers to the ability of an AI system to perform a wide range of tasks and exhibit a level of intelligence similar to that of a human being. This is in contrast to narrow or specialized AI, which is designed to perform specific tasks with a high degree of efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent to design a general class of models, which we term foundation models, trained on broad data that can be adapted to various downstream tasks. The recently proposed segment anything model (SAM) has made significant progress in breaking the boundaries of segmentation, greatly promoting the development of foundation models for computer vision. To fully comprehend SAM, we conduct a survey study. As the first to comprehensively review the progress of segmenting anything task for vision and beyond based on the foundation model of SAM, this work focuses on its applications to various tasks and data types by discussing its historical development, recent progress, and profound impact on broad applications. We first introduce the background and terminology for foundation models including SAM, as well as state-of-the-art methods contemporaneous with SAM that are significant for segmenting anything task. Then, we analyze and summarize the advantages and limitations of SAM across various image processing applications, including software scenes, real-world scenes, and complex scenes. Importantly, many insights are drawn to guide future research to develop more versatile foundation models and improve the architecture of SAM. We also summarize massive other amazing applications of SAM in vision and beyond. Finally, we maintain a continuously updated paper list and an open-source project summary for foundation model SAM at \href{https://github.com/liliu-avril/Awesome-Segment-Anything}{\color{magenta}{here}}.
