BiRefNet-lite ONNX

ONNX builds of BiRefNet-lite, made by Moonbox for on-device use with ONNX Runtime (CUDA, DirectML, CPU). The model is a single graph: each precision is one folder holding model.onnx.

Files

The last column is the benchmark: each precision's output against the fp32 graph's on the same eval pictures, and its own score on the eval set (details under How to run).

Precision	File	Size	sha256	Benchmark
fp16	fp16/model.onnx	0.11 GB	311cfd8088ee	vs fp32: IoU 0.9981, MAE 0.0002; DIS5K MAE 0.0171, S 0.939
int8	int8/model.onnx	0.09 GB	97dd832a68fe	vs fp32: IoU 0.9972, MAE 0.0004; DIS5K MAE 0.0171, S 0.939
int4	int4/model.onnx	0.08 GB	f1569d762955	vs fp32: IoU 0.9762, MAE 0.0034; DIS5K MAE 0.0172, S 0.939

How to run

BiRefNet_lite is the light general-purpose BiRefNet (Swin-T backbone), about 4x smaller than BiRefNet. Made from the official fp32 ONNX BiRefNet-general-bb_swin_v1_tiny-epoch_232.onnx from BiRefNet's GitHub release v1 (Swin-T backbone); its single output is the matte (sigmoid applied).

ONNX Runtime (1024 x 1024 input, RGB in 0-1, ImageNet-normalized):

import numpy as np, onnxruntime as ort
from PIL import Image

sess = ort.InferenceSession("int8/model.onnx", providers=["CUDAExecutionProvider", "CPUExecutionProvider"])
img = Image.open("photo.jpg").convert("RGB")
x = np.asarray(img.resize((1024, 1024), Image.BILINEAR), np.float32) / 255
x = (x - [0.485, 0.456, 0.406]) / [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]   # ImageNet normalization
x = x.transpose(2, 0, 1)[None]
matte = sess.run(None, {sess.get_inputs()[0].name: x})[0][0, 0]
alpha = Image.fromarray((np.clip(matte, 0, 1) * 255).astype(np.uint8)).resize(img.size, Image.BILINEAR)
img.putalpha(alpha); img.save("cutout.png")

Precisions. fp16: weights and math in fp16, inputs and outputs fp32. int8: weights int8 per output channel behind DequantizeLinear, activations in float (weight-only: no calibration). int4: MatMul weights 4-bit (MatMulNBits, block 32), the remaining convolution weights int8 weight-only. bf16 is not made: ONNX Runtime's CUDA provider has no bf16 convolution.

Benchmark. DIS5K test sets, 250 pictures (DIS-TE1..4 and DIS-VD, 50 each), ONNX Runtime 1.30 CUDA provider on an RTX 3080 Laptop GPU. The table's last column gives the precision's agreement with the fp32 graph (IoU of the masks at 0.5, mean absolute difference) and its own MAE against the ground truth. Scored with PySODMetrics on masks shrunk to at most 2048 px on the long side (DIS5K's largest are about 6000 x 4000); HCE (human correction effort) is given for the reference precision.

Precision	Size	vs fp32 (mask IoU, MAE)	MAE	S-measure	max F	Time / picture	Peak VRAM
fp32 (reference, not published)	224 MB	-	0.0171	0.939	0.945	438 ms	6.7 GB
fp16	114 MB	IoU 0.9981, MAE 0.0002	0.0171	0.939	0.945	372 ms	5.8 GB
int8	92 MB	IoU 0.9972, MAE 0.0004	0.0171	0.939	0.945	420 ms	6.4 GB
int4	82 MB	IoU 0.9762, MAE 0.0034	0.0172	0.939	0.944	422 ms	6.5 GB

How these were made

From BiRefNet-lite at revision aa62cd87ea, starting from an fp32 ONNX graph (where it came from is said above): fp16 with onnxconverter-common (inputs and outputs kept fp32), int8 with ONNX Runtime static QDQ quantization (per-channel int8 weights, uint8 activations, MinMax calibration on pictures outside the eval set), int4 with ONNX Runtime's MatMulNBits (weight-only, block 32) where the graph is mostly matrix multiplications. bf16 is left out for convolutional graphs: ONNX Runtime's CUDA provider has no bf16 convolution. Every graph was benchmarked before upload; the sha256 column above is what the files must hash to.

This repo is the official implementation of "Bilateral Reference for High-Resolution Dichotomous Image Segmentation" (CAAI AIR 2024).

Visit our GitHub repo: https://github.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet for more details -- codes, docs, and model zoo!

How to use (this tiny version)

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).

# Load BiRefNet with weights
from transformers import AutoModelForImageSegmentation
birefnet = AutoModelForImageSegmentation.from_pretrained('zhengpeng7/BiRefNet_lite', trust_remote_code=True)

Use codes from GitHub + weights from HuggingFace

Only use the weights on HuggingFace -- Pro: codes are always the latest; Con: Need to clone the BiRefNet repo from my GitHub.

# Download codes
git clone https://github.com/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet.git
cd BiRefNet

# Use codes locally
from models.birefnet import BiRefNet

# Load weights from Hugging Face Models
### >>> Remember to set the `bb` in `config.py` as `swin_v1_t` to use this tiny version. <<< ###
birefnet = BiRefNet.from_pretrained('zhengpeng7/BiRefNet_lite')

Use codes from GitHub + weights from local space

Only use the weights and codes both locally.

# 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

# Imports
from PIL import Image

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()
birefnet.half()

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').half()

    # 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 "Bilateral Reference for High-Resolution Dichotomous Image Segmentation" (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).
