• Title: From SAM to SAM 2: Exploring Improvements in Meta's Segment Anything Model
• Authors: Athulya Sundaresan Geetha, Muhammad Hussain,
• Abstract summary: The Segment Anything Model (SAM) was introduced to the computer vision community by Meta in April 2023. SAM excels in zero-shot performance, segmenting unseen objects without additional training, stimulated by a large dataset of over one billion image masks. SAM 2 expands this functionality to video, leveraging memory from preceding and subsequent frames to generate accurate segmentation across entire videos.

• Abstract: The Segment Anything Model (SAM), introduced to the computer vision community by Meta in April 2023, is a groundbreaking tool that allows automated segmentation of objects in images based on prompts such as text, clicks, or bounding boxes. SAM excels in zero-shot performance, segmenting unseen objects without additional training, stimulated by a large dataset of over one billion image masks. SAM 2 expands this functionality to video, leveraging memory from preceding and subsequent frames to generate accurate segmentation across entire videos, enabling near real-time performance. This comparison shows how SAM has evolved to meet the growing need for precise and efficient segmentation in various applications. The study suggests that future advancements in models like SAM will be crucial for improving computer vision technology.

  The Segment Anything Model (SAM) marks a notable milestone in segmentation models. We propose FocSAM with a pipeline redesigned on two pivotal aspects.

  We investigate two models for combining SAM with optical flow that harness the segmentation power of SAM with the ability of flow to discover and group moving objects. In the first model, we adapt SAM to take optical flow, rather than RGB, as an input. In the second, SAM takes RGB as an input, and flow is used as a segmentation prompt. These surprisingly simple methods, without any further modifications, outperform all previous approaches by a considerable margin in both single and multi-object benchmarks.
