Faster Segment Anything (MobileSAM) and Everything (MobileSAMv2)

📌 MobileSAMv2, available at ResearchGate and arXiv, replaces the grid-search prompt sampling in SAM with object-aware prompt sampling for faster segment everything(SegEvery).

📌 MobileSAM, available at ResearchGate and arXiv, replaces the heavyweight image encoder in SAM with a lightweight image encoder for faster segment anything(SegAny).

Support for ONNX model export. Feel free to test it on your devices and share your results with us.

A demo of MobileSAM running on CPU is open at hugging face demo. On our own Mac i5 CPU, it takes around 3s. On the hugging face demo, the interface and inferior CPUs make it slower but still works fine. Stayed tuned for a new version with more features! You can also run a demo of MobileSAM on your local PC.

⭐ 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.

⭐ 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. Therefore, by assuming everything is exactly the same except for a smaller image encoder, those who use the original SAM for their projects can adapt to MobileSAM with almost zero effort.

⭐ 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

Parameters 611M 5M

Speed 452ms 8ms
Original SAM and MobileSAM have exactly the same prompt-guided mask decoder:

Mask Decoder Original SAM MobileSAM

Parameters 3.876M 3.876M

Speed 4ms 4ms
The comparison of the whole pipeline is summarized as follows:

Whole Pipeline (Enc+Dec) Original SAM MobileSAM

Parameters 615M 9.66M

Speed 456ms 12ms

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

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

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

⭐ Original SAM and MobileSAM with a point as the prompt.

⭐ Original SAM and MobileSAM with a box as the prompt.

💪 Is MobileSAM faster and smaller than FastSAM? Yes! 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
Parameters	68M	9.66M
Speed	64ms	12ms

💪 Does MobileSAM aign better with the original SAM than FastSAM? Yes! FastSAM is suggested to work with multiple points, thus we compare the mIoU with two prompt points (with different pixel distances) and show the resutls as follows. Higher mIoU indicates higher alignment.

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

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 .

Demo

Once installed MobileSAM, you can run demo on your local PC or check out our HuggingFace Demo.

It requires latest version of gradio.

cd app
python app.py

Getting Started

The MobileSAM can be loaded in the following ways:

from mobile_sam import sam_model_registry, SamAutomaticMaskGenerator, SamPredictor

model_type = "vit_t"
sam_checkpoint = "./weights/mobile_sam.pt"

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

mobile_sam = sam_model_registry[model_type](checkpoint=sam_checkpoint)
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 mobile_sam import SamAutomaticMaskGenerator

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

Getting Started (MobileSAMv2)

Download the model weights from the checkpoints.

After downloading the model weights, faster SegEvery with MobileSAMv2 can be simply used as follows:

cd MobileSAMv2
bash ./experiments/mobilesamv2.sh

ONNX Export

MobileSAM now supports ONNX export. Export the model with

python scripts/export_onnx_model.py --checkpoint ./weights/mobile_sam.pt --model-type vit_t --output ./mobile_sam.onnx

Also check the example notebook to follow detailed steps. We recommend to use onnx==1.12.0 and onnxruntime==1.13.1 which is tested.
