ultralytics.models.sam.predict.Predictor

Predictor(cfg=DEFAULT_CFG, overrides=None, _callbacks=None)

Bases: BasePredictor

Predictor class for SAM, enabling real-time image segmentation with promptable capabilities.

This class extends BasePredictor and implements the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for advanced image segmentation tasks. It supports various input prompts like points, bounding boxes, and masks for fine-grained control over segmentation results.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
args SimpleNamespace

Configuration arguments for the predictor.

model Module

The loaded SAM model.

device device

The device (CPU or GPU) on which the model is loaded.

im Tensor

The preprocessed input image.

features Tensor

Extracted image features.

prompts Dict

Dictionary to store various types of prompts (e.g., bboxes, points, masks).

segment_all bool

Flag to indicate if full image segmentation should be performed.

mean Tensor

Mean values for image normalization.

std Tensor

Standard deviation values for image normalization.

Methods:

        >>> bboxes = [[100, 100, 200, 200]]
        >>> masks, scores, logits = predictor.prompt_inference(image, bboxes=bboxes)
        >>> print(f"Generated {masks.shape[0]} masks with average score {scores.mean():.2f}")

    Notes:
        - The method supports batched inference for multiple objects when points or bboxes are provided.
        - Input prompts (bboxes, points) are automatically scaled to match the input image dimensions.
        - When both bboxes and points are provided, they are merged into a single 'points' input for the model.

set_image

set_image(image)

Preprocesses and sets a single image for inference using the SAM2 model.

This method initializes the model if not already done, configures the data source to the specified image, and preprocesses the image for feature extraction. It supports setting only one image at a time.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
image str | ndarray

Path to the image file as a string, or a numpy array representing the image.

required

Raises:

Type Description
AssertionError

If more than one image is attempted to be set.

Examples:

>>> predictor = SAM2Predictor()
>>> predictor.set_image("path/to/image.jpg")
>>> predictor.set_image(np.array([...]))  # Using a numpy array
Notes
  • This method must be called before performing any inference on a new image.
  • The method caches the extracted features for efficient subsequent inferences on the same image.
  • Only one image can be set at a time. To process multiple images, call this method for each new image.
