Summary

Encord has integrated Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM) into its Encord Annotate platform to enhance the development and democratization of AI and computer vision applications. SAM, a zero-shot foundation model, is known for its ability to "segment anything," even image data it hasn't previously encountered, using keypoints and optional bounding boxes. This integration combines SAM's segmentation capabilities with Encord's robust ontologies, interactive editor, and diverse media support, including specialty data like satellite and DICOM formats such as X-ray, CT, and MRI. Encord's platform offers a collaborative annotation and review environment powered by AI-assisted labeling and annotator training, promising to streamline and enhance annotation workflows for users engaging in AI initiatives.
