Can SAM Count Anything? An Empirical Study on SAM Counting
Meta AI recently released the Segment Anything model (SAM), which has garnered attention due to its impressive performance in class-agnostic segmenting. In this study, we explore the use of SAM for the challenging task of few-shot object counting, which involves counting objects of an unseen category by providing a few bounding boxes of examples. We compare SAM's performance with other few-shot counting methods and find that it is currently unsatisfactory without further fine-tuning, particularly for small and crowded objects.

Accurate cell counting is essential in various biomedical research and clinical applications, including cancer diagnosis, stem cell research, and immunology. Manual counting is labor-intensive and error-prone, motivating…
Learning to Count Anything: Reference-less Class-agnostic Counting with Weak Supervision
Current class-agnostic counting methods can generalise to unseen classes but usually require reference images to define the type of object to be counted, as well as instance annotations during training. Reference-less cl…

Open-world object counting remains brittle: despite rapid advances in vision-language models (VLMs), reliably counting the objects a user intends is far from solved. We argue that a central reason is that counting granul…
