Deformable DETR model with ResNet-50 backbone, with box refinement and two stage

Deformable DEtection TRansformer (DETR), with box refinement and two stage model trained end-to-end on COCO 2017 object detection (118k annotated images). It was introduced in the paper Deformable DETR: Deformable Transformers for End-to-End Object Detection by Zhu et al. and first released in this repository.

Disclaimer: The team releasing Deformable DETR did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.

Model description

The DETR model is an encoder-decoder transformer with a convolutional backbone. Two heads are added on top of the decoder outputs in order to perform object detection: a linear layer for the class labels and a MLP (multi-layer perceptron) for the bounding boxes. The model uses so-called object queries to detect objects in an image. Each object query looks for a particular object in the image. For COCO, the number of object queries is set to 100.

The model is trained using a "bipartite matching loss": one compares the predicted classes + bounding boxes of each of the N = 100 object queries to the ground truth annotations, padded up to the same length N (so if an image only contains 4 objects, 96 annotations will just have a "no object" as class and "no bounding box" as bounding box). The Hungarian matching algorithm is used to create an optimal one-to-one mapping between each of the N queries and each of the N annotations. Next, standard cross-entropy (for the classes) and a linear combination of the L1 and generalized IoU loss (for the bounding boxes) are used to optimize the parameters of the model.

Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for object detection. See the model hub to look for all available Deformable DETR models.

How to use

Here is how to use this model:

from transformers import AutoFeatureExtractor, DeformableDetrForObjectDetection
import torch
from PIL import Image
import requests

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("SenseTime/deformable-detr-with-box-refine-two-stage")
model = DeformableDetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("SenseTime/deformable-detr-with-box-refine-two-stage")

inputs = feature_extractor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

# convert outputs (bounding boxes and class logits) to COCO API
target_sizes = torch.tensor([image.size[::-1]])
results = feature_extractor.post_process(outputs, target_sizes=target_sizes)[0]

for score, label, box in zip(results["scores"], results["labels"], results["boxes"]):
box = [round(i, 2) for i in box.tolist()]
# let's only keep detections with score > 0.7
if score > 0.7:
print(
f"Detected {model.config.id2label[label.item()]} with confidence "
f"{round(score.item(), 3)} at location {box}"
)


Currently, both the feature extractor and model support PyTorch.

Training data

The Deformable DETR model was trained on COCO 2017 object detection, a dataset consisting of 118k/5k annotated images for training/validation respectively.
