Meta says the Berkeley Lab-led SYNAPS-I project is using SAM 3 and DINOv3 to automate image segmentation for scientific discovery.
- The two models are paired to combine global semantic context (DINOv3) with pixel-level boundary extraction (SAM 3).
- Researchers say this reduces 3D volume labeling from about a month of manual work to roughly 15 minutes.
- Meta frames the effort as support for DOE’s Genesis Mission and real-time scientific analysis.
