… present EfficientViT-SAM, a new family of accelerated segment anything models.

… retain SAM’s lightweight prompt encoder and mask decoder while replacing the heavy image encoder with EfficientViT.

For the training, … begin with the knowledge distillation from the SAM-ViT-H image encoder to EfficientViT.

Subsequently, … conduct end-to-end training on the SA-1B dataset.

Benefiting from EfficientViT’s efficiency and capacity, EfficientViT-SAM delivers 48.9x measured TensorRT speedup on A100 GPU over SAM-ViT-H without sacrificing performance.

… code and pre-trained models are released …
