# kornia/mobile_sam

Pretrained weights for **MobileSAM**,
used by [`kornia.models.SegmentAnything`](https://kornia.readthedocs.io/en/latest/models.html).

MobileSAM replaces the heavy ViT-H image encoder of SAM with a distilled TinyViT-5M
encoder, reducing model size by 60× while retaining most of SAM's segmentation quality.
arXiv 2023.

**Original repo:** [ChaoningZhang/MobileSAM](https://github.com/ChaoningZhang/MobileSAM)

## Weights

| File | Description |
