| # SAM2 Tiny (Cell and Bacterium Tracking) | |
| The SAM2 tiny checkpoint used in the Model Garden **Cell and Bacterium | |
| Tracking** demo: class-agnostic video segment-and-track where pretrained | |
| detectors have no labels, e.g. a neutrophil chasing a bacterium. | |
| ## Method | |
| Human-seed-then-propagate: a few clicks lock the right object, then SAM2 | |
| propagates masks across the rest of the frames autonomously. **No training | |
| required.** | |
| ## Provenance | |
| This is the `sam2_hiera_tiny` checkpoint from | |
| [`facebook/sam2-hiera-tiny`](https://huggingface.co/facebook/sam2-hiera-tiny), | |
| re-hosted here for the Model Garden showcase. All credit to Meta AI. | |
| ## Usage | |
| See the [SAM2 repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam2) for the | |
| video predictor API. | |
