Hi-SAM text-stroke checkpoint — mirror for StereoCrafter Studio
This is an unmodified mirror of sam_tss_l_textseg.pth from
Hi-SAM. I did not train it and claim no
credit for it.
It is re-hosted because the original is published on Google Drive, which serves
an HTML interstitial for large files rather than the bytes. That page saves
perfectly happily as a .pth and then fails much later at model-load time,
looking like a corrupt checkpoint — a confusing failure to hand someone who has
just installed an application. Drive also throttles scripted downloads.

It holds only the trained parts. The SAM ViT-L backbone is merged in at load
time from sam_vit_l_0b3195.pth, which
Meta publishes directly
and which is not mirrored here.

Licence, and one caveat worth reading
The Hi-SAM code is Apache 2.0. These weights were trained on the TextSeg dataset, which carries its own research-use terms from its authors — see the Hi-SAM repository for how to obtain it. Nothing here grants any rights over that dataset, and if you intend to use this model commercially you should check those terms yourself.
If the Hi-SAM authors would prefer this mirror not exist, open a discussion on this repo and I will take it down.
What uses it
StereoCrafter Studio's Subtitle Fixer, which repairs the smeared depth DepthCrafter produces around burned-in subtitles: the glyphs are text to a reader but texture to a depth model, so they come back as a flickering blob that splatting then tears apart. Hi-SAM finds the glyph strokes precisely enough to pin them to a flat depth and composite them back.
