Repository for SAM 2: Segment Anything in Images and Videos, a foundation model towards solving promptable visual segmentation in images and videos from FAIR. See the [SAM 2 paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.00714) for more information.

The official code is publicly release in this [repo](https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything-2/).

## Usage

For image prediction:

```python
import torch
from sam2.sam2_image_predictor import SAM2ImagePredictor

predictor = SAM2ImagePredictor.from_pretrained("facebook/sam2-hiera-tiny")

with torch.inference_mode(), torch.autocast("cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
    predictor.set_image(<your_image>)
    masks, _, _ = predictor.predict(<input_prompts>)
```

For video prediction:

```python
import torch
from sam2.sam2_video_predictor import SAM2VideoPredictor

predictor = SAM2VideoPredictor.from_pretrained("facebook/sam2-hiera-tiny")

with torch.inference_mode(), torch.autocast("cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
    state = predictor.init_state(<your_video>)

    # add new prompts and instantly get the output on the same frame
    frame_idx, object_ids, masks = predictor.add_new_points_or_box(state, <your_prompts>):

    # propagate the prompts to get masklets throughout the video
    for frame_idx, object_ids, masks in predictor.propagate_in_video(state):
        ...
```
