Support for editing existing labels

[christinab12]

Hi there,

I'm just trying out your plugin and it very nicely works when no segmentations are available. I was wondering if there is any support (or further interest to implement this) for having the "SAM box" and "SAM points" layers operate on existing labels layers whenever a segmentation mask is already available and needs to be slightly corrected?

Thanks,
Christina

Hi @christinab12,

We don't support it out of the box.
This could be accomplished by copying the object into want to correct into SAM mask layer.
Because SAM processes one object at a time, you must do this for every object you want to correct.

We could add a complementary widget to map a labels layer and a label value into the SAM mask.
Do you think this would be helpful?

Best,

Hi @JoOkuma,

thanks for your answer and sorry for the late reply. Re. the widget you suggested, would the mapping still need to be done on a per object basis?

Yes, @christinab12, I don't see an easy way to get around that because SAM expects a single segmentation instance

Thanks for your answer @JoOkuma,

I think this would probably still be a bottleneck for the user, so I think it's best to drop this for now. Feel free to close the issue!

Thanks for the update, @christinab12. I'll leave it open in case it's helpful to others.
