The json_output adds semantic labels
class_name
and
class_proposals
to each of the original
Segment Anything masks, the format is as follows:
[{
"segmentation" : dict, # Mask saved in COCO RLE format.
"bbox" : [x, y, w, h], # The box around the mask, in XYWH format
"area" : int, # The area in pixels of the mask
"predicted_iou" : float, # The model's own prediction of the mask's quality
"stability_score" : float, # A measure of the mask's quality
"crop_box" : [x, y, w, h], # The crop of the image used to generate the mask, in XYWH format
"point_coords" : [[x, y]], # The point coordinates input to the model to generate the mask
"class_name" : str, # The most likely category for the mask
"class_proposals" : [str], # Top-k most likely categories from Class proposal filter
},

A
nything (SSA)
project enhances the
Segment Anything dataset (SA-1B)
with a dense category annotation engine.
SSA is an automated annotation engine that serves as the initial semantic labeling for the SA-1B dataset. While human review and refinement may be required for more accurate labeling.
Thanks to the combined architecture of close-set segmentation and open-vocabulary segmentation, SSA produces satisfactory labeling for most samples and has the capability to provide more detailed annotations using image caption method.
This tool fills the gap in SA-1B’s limited fine-grained semantic labeling, while also significantly reducing the need for manual annotation and associated costs.
It has the potential to serve as a foundation for training large-scale visual perception models and more fine-grained CLIP models.
🚄 Semantic segment anything engine
The SSA engine consists of three components:
-
(I) Close-set semantic segmentor (green).
Two close-set semantic segmentation models trained on COCO and ADE20K datasets respectively are used to segment the image and obtain rough category information. The predicted categories only include simple and basic categories to ensure that each mask receives a relevant label.
-
(II) Open-vocabulary classifier (blue).
An image captioning model is utilized to describe the cropped image patch corresponding to each mask. Nouns or phrases are then extracted as candidate open-vocabulary categories. This process provides more diverse category labels.
-
(III) Final decision module (orange).
The SSA engine uses a Class proposal filter (
i.e.
a CLIP) to filter out the top-
k
most reasonable predictions from the mixed class list. Finally, the Open-vocabulary Segmentor predicts the most suitable category within the mask region based on the top-
k
classes and image patch.
