Segment Anything Model (SAM) has garnered significant attention in segmentation tasks due to their zero-shot generalization ability ... However ... restricted by their low inference speed and high computational memory demands
... introduce SAM-Lightening, a variant of SAM, that features a re-engineered attention mechanism, termed Dilated Flash Attention.
It not only facilitates higher parallelism, enhancing processing efficiency but also retains compatibility with the existing FlashAttention.
... propose a progressive distillation to enable an efficient knowledge transfer from the vanilla SAM without costly training from scratch.
... SAM-Lightening significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in both run-time efficiency and segmentation accuracy.
... achieve an inference speed ... 30.1 times faster than the vanilla SAM and 2.1 times than the state-of-the-art ... takes 3.5% of the vanilla SAM ...
