How to get started with Meta's segment anything model (SAM)?

The segment anything model (SAM) is another incredible contribution from the research team at Meta. Good news, this work is shared with an Apache-2.0 license making it useful for commercial use and more.

The best place to get started is the segment-anything Github repository here.


If you like to learn by running code you are in luck. We have two notebook to run.


In this workflow we can select a point on the image and provide a few parameters to interactively extract masks. 


In this workflow we can provide an image with a few parameters to get masks for the entire image. 

To run the code on either notebook yourself do the following:
  1. Click the open in Colab button.
  2. Change the "using_colab" variable from False to True.
  3. Change the settings to use a GPU. 
  4. Run all the the cells providing any needed input.
