SAM 3 enables zero-annotation training for efficient YOLOv8 farming models

Researchers have developed a novel method for training efficient YOLOv8 object detection models for precision pig farming by leveraging the Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3). This approach uses SAM 3 as an automated annotator to generate pseudo-labels, eliminating the need for manual data labeling. The resulting SAM 3-trained YOLOv8m model achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 79.4% and significantly reduces inference latency, making it suitable for real-time edge deployment in smart agriculture.
