Segment Anything Model (SAM) has gained considerable interest in recent times for its remarkable performance and has emerged as a foundational model in computer vision. It has been integrated in diverse downstream tasks, showcasing its strong zero-shot transfer capabilities. Given its impressive performance, there is a strong desire to apply SAM in autonomous driving to improve the performance of vision tasks, particularly in challenging scenarios such as driving under adverse weather conditions. However, its robustness under adverse weather conditions remains uncertain. In this work, we investigate the application of SAM in autonomous driving and specifically explore its robustness under adverse weather conditions. Overall, this work aims to enhance understanding of SAM's robustness in challenging scenarios before integrating it into autonomous driving vision tasks, providing valuable insights for future applications.

The Segment Anything Model (SAM), developed by Meta AI Research, represents a significant breakthrough in computer vision, offering a robust framework for image and video segmentation. This survey provides a comprehensive exploration of the SAM family, including SAM and SAM 2, highlighting their advancements in granularity and contextual understanding. Our study demonstrates SAM's versatility across a wide range of applications while identifying areas where improvements are needed, particularly in scenarios requiring high granularity and in the absence of explicit prompts. By mapping the evolution and capabilities of SAM models, we offer insights into their strengths and limitations and suggest future research directions, including domain-specific adaptations and enhanced memory and propagation mechanisms. We believe that this survey comprehensively covers the breadth of SAM's applications and challenges, setting the stage for ongoing advancements in segmentation technology.
