Researchers have introduced FoundYou, a unified framework that combines personalized segmentation and retrieval tasks. Built upon the Segment Anything 2 (SAM 2) model, FoundYou leverages its ability to preserve object identity across video frames to match objects in independent images. This approach enables both segmentation and retrieval as outcomes of the same instance alignment process, offering capabilities like few-shot personalized retrieval and promptable personalized segmentation. The model achieves state-of-the-art results on category-level retrieval benchmarks and significantly outperforms prior unified solutions in terms of speed and size, while keeping the core SAM 2 model frozen and adding minimal trainable parameters.
