In detail
- Intended domains: crowds, satellite imagery, medical scans, bacterial colonies, etc.
- Method: merge a bounding‑box detector for large objects with a dot‑based counter for dense small objects; resolve duplicates by confidence.
- Builds on Meta’s SAM3 with adapter modules; introduces CLOC dataset (~220,000 images, 619 categories) for text‑guided counting.
Why it matters
Accurate cross‑domain counting reduces manual inspection costs in medicine, agriculture and infrastructure and makes automation of quantitative visual tasks more practical.
For you If you need automated counts (inventory, inspections, monitoring), pilot Count Anything on a sample of your images and compare against existing tools.
