Meta Unveils SAM 2: Advanced AI for Real-Time Object Segmentation in Videos

SAM 2 enhances the capabilities of its predecessor by offering efficient, zero-shot segmentation and tracking across images and videos.

SAM 2 can segment and track objects in real-time, even in complex scenarios with fast-moving or occluded objects.
The model is designed to generalize to new visual domains without custom adaptation, making it highly versatile.
Meta has released a comprehensive dataset of 51,000 videos to support SAM 2's development and application.
Potential applications include video editing, autonomous vehicles, scientific research, and environmental monitoring.
SAM 2 is open-source, with its code and weights available under an Apache 2.0 license, encouraging community collaboration.
