MaskFormer

This is a recently introduced model so the API hasn’t been tested extensively. There may be some bugs or slight breaking changes to fix it in the future. If you see something strange, file a Github Issue.

Overview

The MaskFormer model was proposed in Per-Pixel Classification is Not All You Need for Semantic Segmentation by Bowen Cheng, Alexander G. Schwing, Alexander Kirillov. MaskFormer addresses semantic segmentation with a mask classification paradigm instead of performing classic pixel-level classification.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Modern approaches typically formulate semantic segmentation as a per-pixel classification task, while instance-level segmentation is handled with an alternative mask classification. Our key insight: mask classification is sufficiently general to solve both semantic- and instance-level segmentation tasks in a unified manner using the exact same model, loss, and training procedure. Following this observation, we propose MaskFormer, a simple mask classification model which predicts a set of binary masks, each associated with a single global class label prediction. Overall, the proposed mask classification-based method simplifies the landscape of effective approaches to semantic and panoptic segmentation tasks and shows excellent empirical results. In particular, we observe that MaskFormer outperforms per-pixel classification baselines when the number of classes is large. Our mask classification-based method outperforms both current state-of-the-art semantic (55.6 mIoU on ADE20K) and panoptic segmentation (52.7 PQ on COCO) models.

The figure below illustrates the architecture of MaskFormer. Taken from the original paper.

This model was contributed by francesco. The original code can be found here.

Usage tips

  • MaskFormer’s Transformer decoder is identical to the decoder of DETR. During training, the authors of DETR did find it helpful to use auxiliary losses in the decoder, especially to help the model output the correct number of objects of each class. If you set the parameter use_auxiliary_loss of MaskFormerConfig to True, then prediction feedforward neural networks and Hungarian losses are added after each decoder layer (with the FFNs sharing parameters).
  • If you want to train the model in a distributed environment across multiple nodes, then one should update the get_num_masks function inside in the MaskFormerLoss class of modeling_maskformer.py. When training on multiple nodes, this should be set to the average number of target masks across all nodes, as can be seen in the original implementation here.
  • One can use MaskFormerImageProcessor to prepare images for the model and optional targets for the model.
  • To get the final segmentation, depending on the task, you can call post_process_semantic_segmentation() or post_process_panoptic_segmentation(). Both tasks can be solved using MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentation output, panoptic segmentation accepts an optional label_ids_to_fuse argument to fuse instances of the target object/s (e.g. sky) together.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a MaskFormerModel. It is used to instantiate a MaskFormer model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the MaskFormer facebook/maskformer-swin-base-ade architecture trained on ADE20k-150.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Currently, MaskFormer only supports the Swin Transformer as backbone.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import MaskFormerConfig, MaskFormerModel

>>> # Initializing a MaskFormer facebook/maskformer-swin-base-ade configuration
>>> configuration = MaskFormerConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the facebook/maskformer-swin-base-ade style configuration
>>> model = MaskFormerModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

Usually used for datasets where 0 is used for background, and background itself is not included in all classes of a dataset (e.g. ADE20k). The background label will be replaced by ignore_index.

Parameters

  • outputs (MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentationOutput) — The outputs from MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentation.
  • threshold (float, optional, defaults to 0.5) — The probability score threshold to keep predicted instance masks.
  • mask_threshold (float, optional, defaults to 0.5) — Threshold to use when turning the predicted masks into binary values.
  • overlap_mask_area_threshold (float, optional, defaults to 0.8) — The overlap mask area threshold to merge or discard small disconnected parts within each binary instance mask.
  • label_ids_to_fuse (Set[int], optional) — The labels in this state will have all their instances be fused together. For instance we could say there can only be one sky in an image, but several persons, so the label ID for sky would be in that set, but not the one for person.
  • target_sizes (List[Tuple], optional) — List of length (batch_size), where each list item (Tuple[int, int]]) corresponds to the requested final size (height, width) of each prediction in batch. If left to None, predictions will not be resized.

Returns

List[Dict]

A list of dictionaries, one per image, each dictionary containing two keys:

  • segmentation — a tensor of shape (height, width) where each pixel represents a segment_id, set to None if no mask if found above threshold. If target_sizes is specified, segmentation is resized to the corresponding target_sizes entry.
  • segments_info — A dictionary that contains additional information on each segment.
    • id — an integer representing the segment_id.
    • label_id — An integer representing the label / semantic class id corresponding to segment_id.
    • was_fused — a boolean, True if label_id was in label_ids_to_fuse, False otherwise. Multiple instances of the same class / label were fused and assigned a single segment_id.
    • score — Prediction score of segment with segment_id.

Converts the output of MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentationOutput into image panoptic segmentation predictions. Only supports PyTorch.

MaskFormerModel

class transformers.MaskFormerModel

< >

( config: MaskFormerConfig )

Parameters

  • config (MaskFormerConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The bare MaskFormer Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module sub-class. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

  • pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, height, width)) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using AutoImageProcessor. See MaskFormerImageProcessor.call() for details.

The MaskFormerModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, MaskFormerModel
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> import requests

>>> # load MaskFormer fine-tuned on ADE20k semantic segmentation
>>> image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/maskformer-swin-base-ade")

>>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

>>> inputs = image_processor(image, return_tensors="pt")

>>> # forward pass
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
