Segmentation and Semantic Classification with Pretrained Models

An advanced computer vision system combining Meta's SAM (Segment Anything Model) and OpenAI's CLIP for intelligent object detection, segmentation, and natural language-based identification in images.

This project presents an intelligent animal detection and classification system that combines state-of-the-art computer vision models to identify and locate animals in images using natural language prompts. The system leverages Meta’s Segment Anything Model (SAM) for precise object segmentation and OpenAI’s CLIP for semantic understanding, creating a powerful tool for wildlife monitoring and research applications.

Processing Workflow

# Simplified workflow representation
1. Load input image  Image preprocessing
2. Generate object masks  SAM segmentation
3. Filter high-quality masks  Quality assessment
4. Extract object crops  Bounding box extraction
5. Classify each crop  CLIP classification
6. Match user prompt  Semantic matching
7. Generate output visualization  Result overlay
