Open-Vocabulary, Promptable Vision Foundation Models
Vision foundation models shift to text-promptable, open-vocabulary detection, segmentation, and real-time tracking of arbitrary concepts, generalizing perception beyond fixed label sets across images and video and pushing open perception models toward production use.
