SAM 3: Segment Anything with Concepts

ICLR 2026poster

We present Segment Anything Model (SAM) 3, a unified model that detects, segments, and tracks objects in images and videos based on concept prompts, which we define as either short noun phrases (e.g., “yellow school bus”), image exemplars, or a combination of both. Promptable Concept Segmentation (P…

SAM 2: Segment Anything in Images and Videos

ICLR 2025oral

We present Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), a foundation model towards solving promptable visual segmentation in images and videos. We build a data engine, which improves model and data via user interaction, to collect the largest video segmentation dataset to date. Our model is a simple transforme…

ImageBind: One Embedding Space To Bind Them All

CVPR 2023highlight

We present ImageBind, an approach to learn a joint embedding across six different modalities - images, text, audio, depth, thermal, and IMU data. We show that all combinations of paired data are not necessary to train such a joint embedding, and only image-paired data is sufficient to bind the modal…

OmniMAE: Single Model Masked Pretraining on Images and Videos

CVPR 2023poster

Transformer-based architectures have become competitive across a variety of visual domains, most notably images and videos. While prior work studies these modalities in isolation, having a common architecture suggests that one can train a single unified model for multiple visual modalities. Prior at…

The Effectiveness of MAE Pre-Pretraining for Billion-Scale Pretraining

ICCV 2023poster

This paper revisits the standard pretrain-then-finetune paradigm used in computer vision for visual recognition tasks. Typically, state-of-the-art foundation models are pretrained using large scale (weakly) supervised datasets with billions of images. We introduce an additional pre-pretraining stage…

Pre-Train, Self-Train, Distill: A Simple Recipe for Supersizing 3D Reconstruction

CVPR 2022poster

Our work learns a unified model for single-view 3D reconstruction of objects from hundreds of semantic categories. As a scalable alternative to direct 3D supervision, our work relies on segmented image collections for learning 3D of generic categories. Unlike prior works that use similar supervision…

Joint Sampling and Trajectory Optimization over Graphs for Online Motion Planning

IROS 2021poster

Among the most prevalent motion planning techniques, sampling and trajectory optimization have emerged successful due to their ability to handle tight constraints and high-dimensional systems, respectively. However, limitations in sampling in higher dimensions and local minima issues in optimization…

Revitalizing Optimization for 3D Human Pose and Shape Estimation: A Sparse Constrained Formulation

ICCV 2021poster

We propose a novel sparse constrained formulation and from it derive a real-time optimization method for 3D human pose and shape estimation. Our optimization method, SCOPE (Sparse Constrained Optimization for 3D human Pose and shapE estimation), is orders of magnitude faster (avg. 4 ms convergence)…
