Today, we’re announcing the Meta Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), the next generation of the Meta Segment Anything Model, now supporting object segmentation in videos and images. We’re releasing SAM 2 under an Apache 2.0 license, so anyone can use it to build their own experiences. We’re also sharing SA-V, the dataset we used to build SAM 2 under a CC BY 4.0 license and releasing a web-based demo experience where everyone can try a version of our model in action. Object segmentation—identifying the pixels in an image that correspond to an object of interest—is a fundamental task in the field of computer vision. The Meta Segment Anything Model (SAM) released last year introduced a foundation model for this task on images. Our latest model, SAM 2, is the first unified model for real-time, promptable object segmentation in images and videos, enabling a step-change in the video segmentation experience and seamless use across image and video applications. SAM 2 exceeds previous capabilitie
