Official PyTorch implementation of [Grounding DINO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.05499), a stronger open-set object detector. Code is available now!


## :bulb: Highlight

- **Open-Set Detection.** Detect **everything** with language!
- **High Performancce.** COCO zero-shot **52.5 AP** (training without COCO data!). COCO fine-tune **63.0 AP**.
- **Flexible.** Collaboration with Stable Diffusion for Image Editting.

## :star: Explanations/Tips for Grounding DINO Inputs and Outputs
- Grounding DINO accepts an `(image, text)` pair as inputs.
- It outputs `900` (by default) object boxes. Each box has similarity scores across all input words. (as shown in Figures below.)
- We defaultly choose the boxes whose highest similarities are higher than a `box_threshold`.
- We extract the words whose similarities are higher than the `text_threshold` as predicted labels.
- If you want to obtain objects of specific phrases, like the `dogs` in the sentence `two dogs with a stick.`, you can select the boxes with highest text similarities with `dogs` as final outputs. 
- Note that each word can be split to **more than one** tokens with differetn tokenlizers. The number of words in a sentence may not equal to the number of text tokens.
- We suggest separating different category names with `.` for Grounding DINO.

## :label: TODO 

- [x] Release inference code and demo.
- [x] Release checkpoints.
- [x] Grounding DINO with Stable Diffusion and GLIGEN demos.
- [ ] Release training codes.

## :hammer_and_wrench: Install 

If you have a CUDA environment, please make sure the environment variable `CUDA_HOME` is set. It will be compiled under CPU-only mode if no CUDA available.

```bash
pip install -e .
```

## :arrow_forward: Demo

```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=6 python demo/inference_on_a_image.py \
  -c /path/to/config \
  -p /path/to/checkpoint \
  -i .asset/cats.png \
  -o "outputs/0" \
  -t "cat ear." \
  [--cpu-only] # open it for cpu mode
```
See the `demo/inference_on_a_image.py` for more details.

**Web UI**

We also provide a demo code to integrate Grounding DINO with Gradio Web UI. See the file `demo/gradio_app.py` for more details.

**Notebooks**

- We release [demos](demo/image_editing_with_groundingdino_gligen.ipynb) to combine [Grounding DINO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.05499) with [GLIGEN](https://github.com/gligen/GLIGEN)  for more controllable image editings.
- We release [demos](demo/image_editing_with_groundingdino_stablediffusion.ipynb) to combine [Grounding DINO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.05499) with [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableDiffusion) for image editings.
