Does MedSAM take point inputs as prompts? #1

In the original MedSAM paper, there is no clear indication that point prompts are directly supported as input to MedSAM. They just emphasize the use of bounding box prompts. It appears that in this paper, you have devised a method to generate point prompts for MedSAM based on the coarse labels from the initial model, even though the original MedSAM paper does not explicitly mention supporting point prompts. Can you please elaborate a little more on this? How is it possible?

MedSAM operates like SAM, so it can take in both points and boxes as inputs. Please read the Input selection section of our paper for more details.
