A real-time object detector much faster and accurate than YOLO with Apache 2.0 license just landed to Hugging Face transformers ๐Ÿ”ฅ

D-FINE is the sota real-time object detector that runs on T4 (free Colab) ๐Ÿคฉ

> Collection with all checkpoints and demo ustc-community/d-fine-68109b427cbe6ee36b4e7352

Notebooks:
> Tracking https://github.com/qubvel/transformers-notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/DFine_tracking.ipynb
> Inference https://github.com/qubvel/transformers-notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/DFine_inference.ipynb
> Fine-tuning https://github.com/qubvel/transformers-notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/DFine_finetune_on_a_custom_dataset.ipynb
h/t @vladislavbro @qubvel-hf @ariG23498 and the authors of the paper ๐ŸŽฉ

Regular object detectors attempt to predict bounding boxes in (x, y, w, h) pixel perfect coordinates, which is very rigid and hard to solve ๐Ÿฅฒโ˜น๏ธ



D-FINE formulates object detection as a distribution for bounding box coordinates, refines them iteratively, and it's more accurate ๐Ÿคฉ

Another core idea behind this model is Global Optimal Localization Self-Distillation โคต๏ธ

this model uses final layer's distribution output (sort of like a teacher) to distill to earlier layers to make early layers more performant.

Don't sleep on new AI at Meta Vision-Language release! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Meta dropped swiss army knives for vision with A2.0 license ๐Ÿ‘
> image/video encoders for vision language modelling and spatial understanding (object detection etc) ๐Ÿ‘
> The vision LM outperforms InternVL3 and Qwen2.5VL ๐Ÿ‘
> They also release gigantic video and image datasets

The authors attempt to come up with single versatile vision encoder to align on diverse set of tasks.

They trained Perception Encoder (PE) Core: a new state-of-the-art family of vision encoders that can be aligned for both vision-language and spatial tasks. For zero-shot image tasks, it outperforms latest sota SigLIP2 ๐Ÿ‘



> Among fine-tuned ones, first one is PE-Spatial. It's a model to detect bounding boxes, segmentation, depth estimation and it outperforms all other models ๐Ÿ˜ฎ



> Second one is PLM, Perception Language Model, where they combine PE-Core with Qwen2.5 LM 7B. it outperforms all other models (including InternVL3 which was trained with Qwen2.5LM too!)

The authors release the following checkpoints in sizes base, large and giant:

> 3 PE-Core checkpoints (224, 336, 448)
> 2 PE-Lang checkpoints (L, G)
> One PE-Spatial (G, 448)
> 3 PLM (1B, 3B, 8B)
> Datasets



Authors release following datasets ๐Ÿ“‘
> PE Video: Gigantic video datasete of 1M videos with 120k expert annotations โฏ๏ธ
> PLM-Video and PLM-Image: Human and auto-annotated image and video datasets on region-based tasks
> PLM-VideoBench: New video benchmark on MCQA

New foundation model on image and video captioning just dropped by NVIDIA AI ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Describe Anything Model (DAM) is a 3B vision language model to generate detailed captions with localized references ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

The team released the models, the dataset, a new benchmark and a demo ๐Ÿคฉ nvidia/describe-anything-680825bb8f5e41ff0785834c

Most of the vision LMs focus on image as a whole, lacking localized references in captions, and not taking in visual prompts (points, boxes, drawings around objects)

DAM addresses this on two levels: new vision backbone that takes in focal crops and the image itself, and a large scale dataset ๐Ÿ‘€

They generate a dataset by extending existing segmentation and referring expression generation datasets like REFCOCO, by passing in the images and classes to VLMs and generating captions.

Lastly, they also release a new benchmark again with self-supervision, they use an LLM to evaluate the detailed captions focusing on localization ๐Ÿ‘
