![SAM 2 architecture](assets/model_diagram.png?raw=true)

**Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2)** is a foundation model towards solving promptable visual segmentation in images and videos. We extend SAM to video by considering images as a video with a single frame. The model design is a simple transformer architecture with streaming memory for real-time video processing. We build a model-in-the-loop data engine, which improves model and data via user interaction, to collect [**our SA-V dataset**](https://ai.meta.com/datasets/segment-anything-video), the largest video segmentation dataset to date. SAM 2 trained on our data provides strong performance across a wide range of tasks and visual domains.

## Latest updates

**12/11/2024 -- full model compilation for a major VOS speedup and a new `SAM2VideoPredictor` to better handle multi-object tracking**

- We now support `torch.compile` of the entire SAM 2 model on videos, which can be turned on by setting `vos_optimized=True` in `build_sam2_video_predictor`, leading to a major speedup for VOS inference.
- We update the implementation of `SAM2VideoPredictor` to support independent per-object inference, allowing us to relax the assumption of prompting for multi-object tracking and adding new objects after tracking starts.
- See [`RELEASE_NOTES.md`](RELEASE_NOTES.md) for full details.

**09/30/2024 -- SAM 2.1 Developer Suite (new checkpoints, training code, web demo) is released**

- A new suite of improved model checkpoints (denoted as **SAM 2.1**) are released. See [Model Description](#model-description) for details.
  * To use the new SAM 2.1 checkpoints, you need the latest model code from this repo. If you have installed an earlier version of this repo, please first uninstall the previous version via `pip uninstall SAM-2`, pull the latest code from this repo (with `git pull`), and then reinstall the repo following [Installation](#installation) below.
- The training (and fine-tuning) code has been released. See [`training/README.md`](training/README.md) on how to get started.
- The frontend + backend code for the SAM 2 web demo has been released. See [`demo/README.md`](demo/README.md) for details.

## Installation

SAM 2 needs to be installed first before use. The code requires `python>=3.10`, as well as `torch>=2.5.1` and `torchvision>=0.20.1`. Please follow the instructions [here](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) to install both PyTorch and TorchVision dependencies. You can install SAM 2 on a GPU machine using:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam2.git && cd sam2

pip install -e .
```
If you are installing on Windows, it's strongly recommended to use [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) with Ubuntu.

To use the SAM 2 predictor and run the example notebooks, `jupyter` and `matplotlib` are required and can be installed by:

```bash
pip install -e ".[notebooks]"
```

Note:
1. It's recommended to create a new Python environment via [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/) for this installation and install PyTorch 2.5.1 (or higher) via `pip` following https://pytorch.org/. If you have a PyTorch version lower than 2.5.1 in your current environment, the installation command above will try to upgrade it to the latest PyTorch version using `pip`.
2. The step above requires compiling a custom CUDA kernel with the `nvcc` compiler. If it isn't already available on your machine, please install the [CUDA toolkits](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive) with a version that matches your PyTorch CUDA version.
3. If you see a message like `Failed to build the SAM 2 CUDA extension` during installation, you can ignore it and still use SAM 2 (some post-processing functionality may be limited, but it doesn't affect the results in most cases).

Please see [`INSTALL.md`](./INSTALL.md) for FAQs on potential issues and solutions.

## Getting Started

### Download Checkpoints

First, we need to download a model checkpoint. All the model checkpoints can be downloaded by running:

```bash
cd checkpoints && \
./download_ckpts.sh && \
cd ..
```

or individually from:

- [sam2.1_hiera_tiny.pt](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/segment_anything_2/092824/sam2.1_hiera_tiny.pt)
- [sam2.1_hiera_small.pt](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/segment_anything_2/092824/sam2.1_hiera_small.pt)
- [sam2.1_hiera_base_plus.pt](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/segment_anything_2/092824/sam2.1_hiera_base_plus.pt)
- [sam2.1_hiera_large.pt](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/segment_anything_2/092824/sam2.1_hiera_large.pt)

(note that these are the improved checkpoints denoted as SAM 2.1; see [Model Description](#model-description) for details.)

Then SAM 2 can be used in a few lines as follows for image and video prediction.

### Image prediction

SAM 2 has all the capabilities of [SAM](https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything) on static images, and we provide image prediction APIs that closely resemble SAM for image use cases. The `SAM2ImagePredictor` class has an easy interface for image prompting.

```python
import torch
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2
from sam2.sam2_image_predictor import SAM2ImagePredictor

checkpoint = "./checkpoints/sam2.1_hiera_large.pt"
model_cfg = "configs/sam2.1/sam2.1_hiera_l.yaml"
predictor = SAM2ImagePredictor(build_sam2(model_cfg, checkpoint))

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

Please refer to the examples in [image_predictor_example.ipynb](./notebooks/image_predictor_example.ipynb) (also in Colab [here](https://colab.research.google.com/github/facebookresearch/sam2/blob/main/notebooks/image_predictor_example.ipynb)) for static image use cases.

SAM 2 also supports automatic mask generation on images just like SAM. Please see [automatic_mask_generator_example.ipynb](./notebooks/automatic_mask_generator_example.ipynb) (also in Colab [here](https://colab.research.google.com/github/facebookresearch/sam2/blob/main/notebooks/automatic_mask_generator_example.ipynb)) for automatic mask generation in images.

### Video prediction

For promptable segmentation and tracking in videos, we provide a video predictor with APIs for example to add prompts and propagate masklets throughout a video. SAM 2 supports video inference on multiple objects and uses an inference state to keep track of the interactions in each video.

```python
import torch
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2_video_predictor

checkpoint = "./checkpoints/sam2.1_hiera_large.pt"
model_cfg = "configs/sam2.1/sam2.1_hiera_l.yaml"
predictor = build_sam2_video_predictor(model_cfg, checkpoint)

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):
        ...
```

Please refer to the examples in [video_predictor_example.ipynb](./notebooks/video_predictor_example.ipynb) (also in Colab [here](https://colab.research.google.com/github/facebookresearch/sam2/blob/main/notebooks/video_predictor_example.ipynb)) for details on how to add click or box prompts, make refinements, and track multiple objects in videos.

## Load from 🤗 Hugging Face

Alternatively, models can also be loaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?search=facebook/sam2) (requires `pip install huggingface_hub`).

For image prediction:

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

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

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-large")

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):
        ...
```

Speed measured on an A100 with `torch 2.5.1, cuda 12.4`. See `benchmark.py` for an example on benchmarking (compiling all the model components). Compiling only the image encoder can be more flexible and also provide (a smaller) speed-up (set `compile_image_encoder: True` in the config).
