What is sam2-hiera-base-plus?
SAM2 (Segment Anything Model 2) is Facebook's advanced foundation model designed for promptable visual segmentation in both images and videos. This base-plus variant represents an enhanced version of the architecture, offering robust segmentation capabilities through an intuitive prompt-based interface.
Implementation Details
The model implements a sophisticated architecture that can handle both image and video segmentation tasks. It features two main predictor classes: SAM2ImagePredictor for single images and SAM2VideoPredictor for video sequences. The implementation supports CUDA acceleration with bfloat16 precision for optimal performance.
