Use SAM3 as a model

Hi All,

I’m very new with Roboflow and AI in general. Working in the fisheries industry. I’m trying to create a model that will calculate the surface area of a fish from our collection of angler photos. I noticed that Roboflow’s auto-label with SAM3 seems to segment the fish perfectly 99.99% of the time (see pasted image). I recognize that the auto-label cuts out the angler’s fingers, which is fine for our purposes. Rather than uploading hundreds/thousands of our photos, annotating them (using Roboflow’s auto label), and then creating a model from that dataset, is there a way to just use the model that Roboflow is using (?SAM3). We need to run the model locally. Thanks!

Hi @labelmaker ,

You can just use SAM3 inside Workflows, and use “fish” as the class. I added 2 visualization blocks to generate the image below, and Mask area measurement block to find out total fish area (in pixel space). You can then just run such a Workflow locally.

Thoughts on such approach?

Thanks, Erik

Thanks! Yes, I was able to create a model that worked.
