Record completeness
Claims
the resulting lightweight SAM is termed MobileSAM which is more than 60 times smaller yet performs on par with the original SAM
that a lightweight encoder distilled only from the frozen original encoder will remain compatible with the original mask decoder across diverse downstream tasks without further joint fine-tuning
MobileSAM is a 60x smaller distilled version of SAM that matches original performance and runs 5x faster than concurrent FastSAM while supporting CPU inference.
