Text prompt example

Thanks for the great repo. ( Sorry if this is an obvious question ) Is there support for text prompts for segmentation ?

Thanks for your interest in our work. We follow the official SAM project that only support point and box prompts. Even though the original SAM paper also shows the examples of using text prompt, it does not provide the pre-trained decoders for supporting it in the official github. Simply put, the original SAM did does text prompt as proof-of-concept instead. However, this has been mitigated by follow-up works like grounded-SAM which also supports mobileSAM as Grounded-MobileSAM. According to their feedback in #11 (comment) , Grounded-MobileSAM is really efficient.
