Request to reconsider SAM3 access — academic research
I am a researcher working on the application of AI to hydraulic and civil engineering. My current research focuses on video-based construction quality inspection for rockfill and earth-rock dam construction, including object segmentation, tracking, and process understanding of abnormal large aggregate particles during material dumping and spreading operations.
I would like to use SAM 3.1 for non-commercial academic research, mainly to evaluate its video segmentation and multi-object tracking capabilities in complex engineering construction scenarios with occlusion, appearance changes, and similar-background interference.
The model will be used only for scientific research, method evaluation, and academic publication. I will comply with the SAM license, usage policies, and all applicable terms and conditions.
