Part 7/10:
Segmentation involves pinpointing which pixels belong to specific objects—a process with wide-ranging applications. SAM 2 can now accurately identify and follow objects across all frames of a video, even when objects move quickly or change appearance. This is accomplished through sophisticated AI training, using vast datasets of annotated videos, including over 50,000 specifically created for this purpose, and an additional unleaked collection exceeding 100,000 videos, likely sourced from user-generated content on Facebook and Instagram.
Practical Applications
The implications are profound:
- Content Creation and Editing: Simplify video editing by automating object tracking, enabling seamless effects and compositing.
