What Hacker News says

Unclear exactly what you're asking. The linked paper describes an algorithm (patent status unclear). That paper happens to link to a GPL licensed implementation whose authors explicitly solicit business licensing inquiries. The related model weights are available on Hugging Face (license unclear). Notably the HF readme file contains conflicting claims. The metadata block specifies apache while the body specifies GPL. https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World https://huggingface.co/spaces/stevengrove/YOLO-World/tree/ma...
In YOLO-World: Real-Time Open-Vocabulary Object Detection
Post author here. I like this idea. I plan to explore it and make a more generic solution. I'd love to have a point-and-click interface for annotating scenes. For example, I'd like to be able to click on pieces of coffee equipment in a photo of my coffee setup so I can add sticky note annotations when you hover over each item. For the bookshelves idea specifically, I would love to have a correction system in place. The problem isn't so much SAM as it is Grounding DINO, the model I'm using for object identification. I then pass each identified region to SAM and map the segmentation mask to the box. Grounding DINO detects a lot of book spines, but often misses 1-2. I am planning to try out YOLO-World (https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World), which, in my limited testing, performs better for this task.
