Faster Segment Anything (MobileSAM)

📌 MobileSAM paper is available at paper link.

MobileSAM

MobileSAM performs on par with the original SAM (at least visually) and keeps exactly the same pipeline as the original SAM except for a change on the image encoder. Specifically, we replace the original heavyweight ViT-H encoder (632M) with a much smaller Tiny-ViT (5M). On a single GPU, MobileSAM runs around 12ms per image: 8ms on the image encoder and 4ms on the mask decoder.

The comparison of ViT-based image encoder is summarzed as follows:

Image Encoder Original SAM MobileSAM
Paramters 611M 5M
Speed 452ms 8ms

Original SAM and MobileSAM have exactly the same prompt-guided mask decoder:

Mask Decoder Original SAM MobileSAM
Paramters 3.876M 3.876M
Speed 4ms 4ms

The comparison of the whole pipeline is summarzed as follows:

Whole Pipeline (Enc+Dec) Original SAM MobileSAM
Paramters 615M 9.66M
Speed 456ms 12ms

Is MobileSAM faster and smaller than FastSAM? Yes, to our knowledge! MobileSAM is around 7 times smaller and around 5 times faster than the concurrent FastSAM. The comparison of the whole pipeline is summarzed as follows:

Whole Pipeline (Enc+Dec) FastSAM MobileSAM
Paramters 68M 9.66M
Speed 64ms 12ms

Is MobileSAM better than FastSAM for performance? Yes, to our knowledge! FastSAM cannot work with a single prompt as the original SAM or our MobileSAM. Therefore, we compare the mIoU with two prompt points (with different pixel distances) and show the resutls as follows. Our MobileSAM is much better than FastSAM under this setup.

mIoU FastSAM MobileSAM
100 0.27 0.27
200 0.33 0.71
300 0.37 0.74
400 0.41 0.73
500 0.41 0.73

How to Adapt from SAM to MobileSAM? Since MobileSAM keeps exactly the same pipeline as the original SAM, we inherit pre-processing, post-processing, and all other interfaces from the original SAM. The users who use the original SAM can adapt to MobileSAM with zero effort, by assuming everything is exactly the same except for a smaller image encoder in the SAM.

How is MobileSAM trained? MobileSAM is trained on a single GPU with 100k datasets (1% of the original images) for less than a day. The training code will be available soon.

Installation

The code requires python>=3.8, as well as pytorch>=1.7 and torchvision>=0.8. Please follow the instructions here to install both PyTorch and TorchVision dependencies. Installing both PyTorch and TorchVision with CUDA support is strongly recommended.

Install Mobile Segment Anything:

pip install git+https://github.com/ChaoningZhang/MobileSAM.git

or clone the repository locally and install with

git clone git@github.com:ChaoningZhang/MobileSAM.git
cd MobileSAM; pip install -e .

Getting Started

The MobileSAM can be loaded in the following ways:

from mobile_encoder.setup_mobile_sam import setup_model
checkpoint = torch.load('../weights/mobile_sam.pt')
mobile_sam = setup_model()
mobile_sam.load_state_dict(checkpoint,strict=True)

Then the model can be easily used in just a few lines to get masks from a given prompt:

from segment_anything import SamPredictor
device = "cuda"
mobile_sam.to(device=device)
mobile_sam.eval()
predictor = SamPredictor(mobile_sam)
predictor.set_image(<your_image>)
masks, _, _ = predictor.predict(<input_prompts>)

or generate masks for an entire image:

from segment_anything import SamAutomaticMaskGenerator

mask_generator = SamAutomaticMaskGenerator(mobile_sam)
masks = mask_generator.generate(<your_image>)
