    As someone that works on a platform users have used for labeling 1B images, I'm bullish SAM 3 can automate at least 90% of the work. Data prep is flipped to models being human-assi…

    A brief history. SAM 1 - Visual prompt to create pixel-perfect masks in an image. No video. No class names. No open vocabulary. SAM 2 - Visual prompting for tracking on images and …

    The model supports batch inference, so all prompts are sent to the model, and we parse the results.

    I tried it on transparent glass mugs, and it does pretty well. At least better than other available models: https://i.imgur.com/OBfx9JY.png Curious if you find interesting results …

    Yes. But also note that redistribution of SAM 3 requires using the same SAM 3 license downstream. So libraries that attempt to, e.g., relicense the model as AGPL are non-compliant.…

    Yes. It's a custom license with an Acceptable Use Policy preventing military use and export restrictions. The custom license permits commercial use.

    The bike lane compliant vehicle category is exciting. Infinite Machine (infinitemachine.com) made me aware of this category with their Olto model, which is at a (surprisingly) supe…

    One of the most common uses for edge AI not listed in this course is computer vision. You similarly want real-time inference for processing video. Another open source project that …

    Reminds me of NY Cerebro, semantic search across New York City's hundreds of public street cameras: https://nycerebro.vercel.app/ (e.g. search for "scaffolding")

    both the endeavor and the site are super cool - congrats on 10 years. interaction on the graphics would be a nice touch to select into a specific run. went looking for the code on …

    In the 2019 fatal Tesla Autopilot crash, the Tesla failed to identify a white tractor trailer crossing the highway: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/t...

    I wonder how long until techniques like Depth Anything ( https://depth-anything-v2.github.io/ ) provide parity with human depth perception. In Mark Rober's tests, I'm not sure even…

    Meta deeply comprehends the impact of GPT-3 vs ChatGPT. The model is a starting point, and the UX of what you do with the model showcases intelligence. This is especially pronounce…

    A suggestion: I'd swap llava for Florence-2 for your open set text description. Florence-2 seems uniformly more descriptive in its outputs.

    SAM 2's key contribution is adding time-based segmentation to apply to videos. Even on images alone, the authors note [0] the image-based segmentation benchmark does exceed SAM 1 p…

    One thing its enabled is automated annotations for segmentation, even on out-of-distribution examples. e.g. in the first 7 months of SAM, users on Roboflow used SAM-powered labelin…

    "Load Example" was very helpful to get a sense of what this does. Awesome build. +1 to the other comment wanting a breakdown of what the colors mean. Also, combining this with real…

    i work on roboflow. seeing all the creative ways people use computer vision is motivating for us. let me know (email in bio) if there's things you'd like to be better.
