This repo is the official implementation of "[**Bilateral Reference for High-Resolution Dichotomous Image Segmentation**](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.03407.pdf)" (___CAAI AIR 2024___).
Visit our GitHub repo: [https://github.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet](https://github.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet) for more details -- **codes**, **docs**, and **model zoo**!
## How to use
### 0. Install Packages:
```
pip install -qr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet/main/requirements.txt
```
### 1. Load BiRefNet:
#### Use codes + weights from HuggingFace
> Only use the weights on HuggingFace -- Pro: No need to download BiRefNet codes manually; Con: Codes on HuggingFace might not be latest version (I'll try to keep them always latest).
```python
# Load BiRefNet with weights
from transformers import AutoModelForImageSegmentation
birefnet = AutoModelForImageSegmentation.from_pretrained('zhengpeng7/BiRefNet', trust_remote_code=True)
```
#### Use codes from GitHub + weights from HuggingFace
> Only use the weights on HuggingFace -- Pro: codes are always latest; Con: Need to clone the BiRefNet repo from my GitHub.
```shell
# Download codes
git clone https://github.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet.git
cd BiRefNet
```
```python
# Use codes locally
from models.birefnet import BiRefNet
# Load weights from Hugging Face Models
birefnet = BiRefNet.from_pretrained('zhengpeng7/BiRefNet')
```
#### Use codes from GitHub + weights from HuggingFace
> Only use the weights and codes both locally.
```python
# Use codes and weights locally
import torch
from utils import check_state_dict
birefnet = BiRefNet(bb_pretrained=False)
state_dict = torch.load(PATH_TO_WEIGHT, map_location='cpu')
state_dict = check_state_dict(state_dict)
birefnet.load_state_dict(state_dict)
```
#### Use the loaded BiRefNet for inference
```python
# Imports
from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import torch
from torchvision import transforms
from models.birefnet import BiRefNet
birefnet = ... # -- BiRefNet should be loaded with codes above, either way.
torch.set_float32_matmul_precision(['high', 'highest'][0])
birefnet.to('cuda')
birefnet.eval()
def extract_object(birefnet, imagepath):
# Data settings
image_size = (1024, 1024)
transform_image = transforms.Compose([
transforms.Resize(image_size),
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])
image = Image.open(imagepath)
input_images = transform_image(image).unsqueeze(0).to('cuda')
# Prediction
with torch.no_grad():
preds = birefnet(input_images)[-1].sigmoid().cpu()
pred = preds[0].squeeze()
pred_pil = transforms.ToPILImage()(pred)
mask = pred_pil.resize(image.size)
image.putalpha(mask)
return image, mask
# Visualization
plt.axis("off")
plt.imshow(extract_object(birefnet, imagepath='PATH-TO-YOUR_IMAGE.jpg')[0])
plt.show()
```
> This BiRefNet for standard dichotomous image segmentation (DIS) is trained on **DIS-TR** and validated on **DIS-TEs and DIS-VD**.
## This repo holds the official model weights of "[<ins>Bilateral Reference for High-Resolution Dichotomous Image Segmentation</ins>](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.03407)" (_CAAI AIR 2024_).
This repo contains the weights of BiRefNet proposed in our paper, which has achieved the SOTA performance on three tasks (DIS, HRSOD, and COD).
Go to my GitHub page for BiRefNet codes and the latest updates: https://github.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet :)
