Wow, this is pretty epic. I put it through its paces on a pretty wide variety of images that have tripped up recent zero-shot models[1] and am thoroughly impressed.

We have a similar "Smart Polygon" tool[2] built into Roboflow but this is next level. Having the model running in the browser makes it so much more fun to use. Stoked it's open source; we're going to work on adding it to our annotation tool ASAP.

It would be nice if it could run entirely in the browser but the image embedding model is absolutely huge.


Can you expand further on what you mean by this?


The SAM model is small (4m params) , but requires image embedding to be computed from what is I think a 600m params model. Right now the demo uploads the image to get the embeddings, then runs the actual segmentation locally.
