Polyp SAM 2: Advancing Zero shot Polyp Segmentation in Colorectal Cancer Detection

Abstract: Polyp segmentation plays a crucial role in the early detection and diagnosis of colorectal cancer. However, obtaining accurate segmentations often requires labor-intensive annotations and specialized models. Recently, Meta AI Research released a general Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), which has demonstrated promising performance in several segmentation tasks. In this manuscript, we evaluate the performance of SAM 2 in segmenting polyps under various prompted settings. We hope this report will provide insights to advance the field of polyp segmentation and promote more interesting work in the future.
