Show HN: Free GUI for image segmentation using Sam by Meta

1 point

3 years ago

SAMIST is a Python GUI for image segmentation using the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by Meta AI. This GUI is distributed under the aGPL v3.0 license. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to the HM community for your positive response to my project (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36068534). I have now additionally packaged the GUI as a Windows distribution with an executable, which should make it easier to use for those with a Windows machine:

1. Download the binary executable: https://github.com/dibrale/samist/releases/tag/v1.0.0-win

2. Download a SAM checkpoint (e.g.: Vit-H https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/segment_anything/sam_vit_h_4b...)

3. Run the *.exe file, selecting the file path to the checkpoint in the GUI

4. Segment everything you see

Note that distribution itself is rather bulky (~4.25 GB uncompressed) because it includes all dependencies except for the model checkpoint. Comments, suggestions and contributions to the project are more than welcome.
