You say what you can't, and the large model says it for you.

Image captioning has long been a challenge in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing, as it involves understanding and describing visual content in natural language.

While recent vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable results in generating image-level captions, generating detailed and accurate descriptions for specific regions within an image remains an unresolved issue.

This challenge is particularly pronounced in the video domain, where models must additionally capture dynamic visual content, such as human actions, object movements, and interactions between people and objects.

To address these issues, researchers from NVIDIA, UC Berkeley, and other institutions have introduced the Describe Anything Model (DAM).

This is a powerful multimodal large language model capable of generating detailed descriptions of specific regions in images or videos. Users can specify regions using points, boxes, scribbles, or masks, and DAM will provide rich contextual descriptions of those areas.
