Table 1. Different types of SAM utilized for object segmentation (Kirillov et al., 2023 ▸).
| Type | Name of SAM | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SAM 1 | ViT-H (ViT-Huge) | Most accurate SAM 1 model. Ideal for highly precise segmentation. Requires high computational power and runs slower. |
| ViT-L (ViT-Large) | Balances processing speed and accuracy. Ideal for standard 2D X-ray images and moderate CT data. | |
| ViT-B (ViT-Base) | Fastest SAM 1 model. Requires low computational resources. May have slightly lower accuracy on complex or low-contrast features. | |
| SAM 2 | Hiera-L (Hiera-Large) | Most advanced SAM 2 model. Best for highly challenging segmentation tasks. Ideal for massive CT data requiring maximum accuracy. |
| Hiera-S (Hiera-Small) | Lightweight model. More accurate than the Tiny version. Maintains high speed for dynamic video data. | |
| Hiera-T (Hiera-Tiny) | Most compact SAM 2 model. Highly optimized for speed. Best for tracking fast objects in massive in situ X-ray videos. | |
