Taking inspiration from large language models, computer vision researchers are now thinking in terms of “foundation models” that can yield reasonable zero- and few-shot detection and segmentation performance with human prompting. Here we consider the utility of this approach for ocean imagery, leveraging Meta’s Segment Anything Model to enrich ocean image annotations based on existing labels.
