## Description

FastSAM is an image segmentation framework that uses convolutional neural networks to isolate visual elements and generate masks for detectable objects within images. It provides a system for both automatic all-object segmentation and promptable image segmentation.

The project utilizes an inference-optimized architecture to reduce computational overhead, enabling faster mask generation and real-time visual analysis. It supports the creation of precise masks through various prompt inputs, including points, bounding boxes, and text descriptions.

The framework covers broader computer vision capabilities such as dataset labeling, interactive object masking, and model training and validation against ground-truth datasets.
