The web demo is actually pretty neat: https://sam2.metademolab.com/demo https://sam2.metademolab.com/demo I selected each shoe as individual objects and the model was able to segment them even as they overlapped.

I tried on the default video (white soccer ball), and it seems to really struggle with the trees in the background, maybe you could benefit of more of such examples.

I guess the demo simply doesn't work unless you accept cookies?

  Are there people who don’t accept cookies? Don’t most websites require you to accept cookies?

    Always refuse them, close to zero problems. I can’t think of a technical reason a website without auth needs cookies to function.

    In many jurisdictions requiring blanket acceptance of cookies to access the whole site is illegal, eg https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-privacy-and-electronic-communications/guide-to-pecr/guidance-on-the-use-of-cookies-and-similar-technologies/how-do-we-comply-with-the-cookie-rules/#comply12 https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-pr... . Sites have to offer informed consent for nonessential cookies - but equally don't have to ask if the only cookies used are essential. So a popup saying 'Accept cookies?' with no other information doesn't cut it.

    You don't need consent for functional cookies that are necessary for the website to work. Anything you are accepting or declining in a cookie popup shouldn't affect the user experience in any major way. I know a lot of people who reflexively reject all cookies, and the internet indeed does keep working for them.

  Same :( Just a guess, maybe it's the VideoFrame API? It was the only video-related feature I could find that Chrome and Safari have and FF doesn't. https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_videoframe https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_videoframe
