LLMDet (large variant)
LLMDet model was proposed in LLMDet: Learning Strong Open-Vocabulary Object Detectors under the Supervision of Large Language Models by Shenghao Fu, Qize Yang, Qijie Mo, Junkai Yan, Xihan Wei, Jingke Meng, Xiaohua Xie, Wei-Shi Zheng.
LLMDet improves upon the MM Grounding DINO and Grounding DINO by co-training the model with a large language model.
You can find all the LLMDet checkpoints under the LLMDet collection. Note that these checkpoints are inference only -- they do not include LLM which was used for training. The inference is identical to that of MM Grounding DINO.
Intended uses
You can use the raw model for zero-shot object detection.
Here's how to use the model for zero-shot object detection:
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForZeroShotObjectDetection, AutoProcessor
from transformers.image_utils import load_image
# Prepare processor and model
model_id = "iSEE-Laboratory/llmdet_large"
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForZeroShotObjectDetection.from_pretrained(model_id).to(device)
# Prepare inputs
image_url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = load_image(image_url)
text_labels = [["a cat", "a remote control"]]
inputs = processor(images=image, text=text_labels, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
# Run inference
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
# Postprocess outputs
results = processor.post_process_grounded_object_detection(
outputs,
threshold=0.4,
target_sizes=[(image.height, image.width)]
)
# Retrieve the first image result
result = results[0]
for box, score, labels in zip(result["boxes"], result["scores"], result["labels"]):
box = [round(x, 2) for x in box.tolist()]
print(f"Detected {labels} with confidence {round(score.item(), 3)} at location {box}")
