Description

I want to use a reference image as a prompt, similar to a text prompt, to track objects that provide the same semantic meaning as the reference image. Is this possible?

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or inference entry point. First determine whether image-based exemplar prompting is supported by SAM 3 and which inference examples or model interfaces would need investigation. Done would mean a documented, working way to track objects matching a reference image, if the capability is feasible.
