New Delhi, July 31: Meta announces the release of Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), an advanced AI model that can segment any object in both videos and images without prior exposure. The new model, SAM 2 enhances its capabilities to track and segment objects throughout video frames in real-time. Meta’s SAM 2 offers improvements in video segmentation, addressing challenges such as object movement and changes in appearance. The introduction of SAM 2 is expected to revolutionise video editing and new experiences in mixed reality.

SAM 2 represents an advancement in AI-powered segmentation technology. It differs from its predecessor, which was limited to static images but SAM 2 extends its functionality to video content. The development will likely allow for consistent object tracking across video frames. Meta has released SAM 2 under an open-source license, encouraging the AI community to explore and expand on its capabilities. The new model is expected to enable creative video editing with innovative applications in mixed reality. Meta AI Now Available in New Languages Including Hindi, Unveils Open-Source Model Llama 3.1; Check Details.

How Meta SAM 2 Works

SAM 2 is designed to address the complexities of video segmentation. Traditional models struggled with the changing nature of videos, where objects move and change appearance. As per the information available on the official website, SAM 2 overcomes these challenges by using a memory mechanism that recalls previously processed information to get accurate object segmentation across video frames. Meta Llama 3.1 405b: Mark Zuckerberg Launches Advanced Llama 3.1 Model at 405 Billion Parameters Offering Better Reasoning Capabilities, Language Support.

The model can manage real-time processing and is expected to be suitable for various real-world applications such as robotics and video editing. Meta has released SAM 2 under the Apache 2.0 license, along with the SA-V dataset. SAM 2's capabilities extend to numerous industries. In video editing, it can be used to create special effects by tracking objects throughout scenes.
