The **Segment Anything Model (SAM)** produces high quality object masks from input prompts such as points or boxes, and it can be used to generate masks for all objects in an image. It has been trained on a [dataset](https://segment-anything.com/dataset/index.html) of 11 million images and 1.1 billion masks, and has strong zero-shot performance on a variety of segmentation tasks.
The abstract of the paper states:
> We introduce the Segment Anything (SA) project: a new task, model, and dataset for image segmentation. Using our efficient model in a data collection loop, we built the largest segmentation dataset to date (by far), with over 1 billion masks on 11M licensed and privacy respecting images. The model is designed and trained to be promptable, so it can transfer zero-shot to new image distributions and tasks. We evaluate its capabilities on numerous tasks and find that its zero-shot performance is impressive -- often competitive with or even superior to prior fully supervised results. We are releasing the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and corresponding dataset (SA-1B) of 1B masks and 11M images at [https://segment-anything.com](https://segment-anything.com) to foster research into foundation models for computer vision.
MedSam is a SAM model fine-tuned on medical images. The original paper can be found [here](https://t.co/QOC9KaCg41). And the code can be found [here](https://github.com/bowang-lab/MedSAM).

# Model Details
The SAM model is made up of 3 modules:
- The `VisionEncoder`: a VIT based image encoder. It computes the image embeddings using attention on patches of the image. Relative Positional Embedding is used.
- The `PromptEncoder`: generates embeddings for points and bounding boxes
- The `MaskDecoder`: a two-ways transformer which performs cross attention between the image embedding and the point embeddings (->) and between the point embeddings and the image embeddings. The outputs are fed
- The `Neck`: predicts the output masks based on the contextualized masks produced by the `MaskDecoder`.
# Usage
## Prompted-Mask-Generation
```python
from PIL import Image
import requests
from transformers import SamModel, SamProcessor
model = SamModel.from_pretrained("nielsr/medsam-vit-base")
processor = SamProcessor.from_pretrained("nielsr/medsam-vit-base")
img_url = path_to_your_img
raw_image = Image.open(requests.get(img_url, stream=True).raw).convert("RGB")
input_points = [[[450, 600]]] # 2D localization of a window
```
```python
inputs = processor(raw_image, input_points=input_points, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model(**inputs)
masks = processor.post_process_masks(outputs.pred_masks.cpu(), inputs["original_sizes"].cpu(), inputs["reshaped_input_sizes"].cpu())
scores = outputs.iou_scores
```
Among other arguments to generate masks, you can pass 2D locations on the approximate position of your object of interest, a bounding box wrapping the object of interest (the format should be x, y coordinate of the top right and bottom left point of the bounding box), a segmentation mask. At this time of writing, passing a text as input is not supported by the official model according to [the official repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything/issues/4#issuecomment-1497626844).
For more details, refer to this notebook, which shows a walk throught of how to use the model, with a visual example!
