SAM produces a precise pixel mask for whatever you indicate with a click or box, without per-class training. SAM 2 adds a memory so a mask follows the object across video frames, which is the basis for rotoscoping and region-of-interest pipelines.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Models and Inference to Computer Vision, Speech, Search, and Generative Video
SAM makes it possible to mask any object with a single click, but turning it into a video feature means handling propagation, drift and GPU cost. Volume 6 covers SAM in detail within computer vision: segmentation, SAM 2 memory and propagation, tracking, model artifacts and deployment topologies for interactive and batch use. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
