# MaskFormer

## 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](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/new?assignees=\&labels=\&template=bug-report.md\&title).

### Overview

The MaskFormer model was proposed in [Per-Pixel Classification is Not All You Need for Semantic Segmentation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.06278) 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.*

Tips:

* MaskFormer’s Transformer decoder is identical to the decoder of [DETR](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/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_auxilary_loss` of [MaskFormerConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.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](https://github.com/facebookresearch/MaskFormer/blob/da3e60d85fdeedcb31476b5edd7d328826ce56cc/mask_former/modeling/criterion.py#L169).
* One can use [MaskFormerImageProcessor](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.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()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.MaskFormerFeatureExtractor.post_process_semantic_segmentation) or [post\_process\_panoptic\_segmentation()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.MaskFormerFeatureExtractor.post_process_panoptic_segmentation). Both tasks can be solved using [MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.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](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.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](https://huggingface.co/facebook/maskformer-swin-base-ade) architecture trained on [ADE20k-150](https://huggingface.co/datasets/scene_parse_150).

Configuration objects inherit from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) for more information.

Currently, MaskFormer only supports the [Swin Transformer](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/swin) as backbone.

Examples:

```
>>> from transformers import MaskFormerConfig, MaskFormerModel

This can be one of `PIL.Image.Resampling.NEAREST`, `PIL.Image.Resampling.BOX`, `PIL.Image.Resampling.BILINEAR`, `PIL.Image.Resampling.HAMMING`, `PIL.Image.Resampling.BICUBIC` or `PIL.Image.Resampling.LANCZOS`. Only has an effect if `do_resize` is set to `True`.

* **ignore\_index** (`int`, *optional*) — Label to be assigned to background pixels in segmentation maps. If provided, segmentation map pixels denoted with 0 (background) will be replaced with `ignore_index`.
* **do\_reduce\_labels** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to decrement all label values of segmentation maps by 1. 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`.

Returns

[BatchFeature](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/image_processor#transformers.BatchFeature)

A [BatchFeature](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/image_processor#transformers.BatchFeature) with the following fields:

* **pixel\_values** — Pixel values to be fed to a model.
* **pixel\_mask** — Pixel mask to be fed to a model (when `=True` or if `pixel_mask` is in `self.model_input_names`).
* **mask\_labels** — Optional list of mask labels of shape `(labels, height, width)` to be fed to a model (when `annotations` are provided).
* **class\_labels** — Optional list of class labels of shape `(labels)` to be fed to a model (when `annotations` are provided). They identify the labels of `mask_labels`, e.g. the label of `mask_labels[i][j]` if `class_labels[i][j]`.

Pad images up to the largest image in a batch and create a corresponding `pixel_mask`.

MaskFormer addresses semantic segmentation with a mask classification paradigm, thus input segmentation maps will be converted to lists of binary masks and their respective labels. Let’s see an example, assuming `segmentation_maps = [[2,6,7,9]]`, the output will contain `mask_labels = [[1,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0],[0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,1]]` (four binary masks) and `class_labels = [2,6,7,9]`, the labels for each mask.

Parameters

* **pixel\_values\_list** (`List[ImageInput]`) — List of images (pixel values) to be padded. Each image should be a tensor of shape `(channels, height, width)`.
* **segmentation\_maps** (`ImageInput`, *optional*) — The corresponding semantic segmentation maps with the pixel-wise annotations.

  (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`): Whether or not to pad images up to the largest image in a batch and create a pixel mask.

  If left to the default, will return a pixel mask that is:

  * 1 for pixels that are real (i.e. **not masked**),
  * 0 for pixels that are padding (i.e. **masked**).
* **instance\_id\_to\_semantic\_id** (`List[Dict[int, int]]` or `Dict[int, int]`, *optional*) — A mapping between object instance ids and class ids. If passed, `segmentation_maps` is treated as an instance segmentation map where each pixel represents an instance id. Can be provided as a single dictionary with a global/dataset-level mapping or as a list of dictionaries (one per image), to map instance ids in each image separately.
* **return\_tensors** (`str` or [TensorType](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/internal/file_utils#transformers.TensorType), *optional*) — If set, will return tensors instead of NumPy arrays. If set to `'pt'`, return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.

Returns

[BatchFeature](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/image_processor#transformers.BatchFeature)

A [BatchFeature](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/image_processor#transformers.BatchFeature) with the following fields:

* **pixel\_values** — Pixel values to be fed to a model.
* **pixel\_mask** — Pixel mask to be fed to a model (when `=True` or if `pixel_mask` is in `self.model_input_names`).
* **mask\_labels** — Optional list of mask labels of shape `(labels, height, width)` to be fed to a model (when `annotations` are provided).
* **class\_labels** — Optional list of class labels of shape `(labels)` to be fed to a model (when `annotations` are provided). They identify the labels of `mask_labels`, e.g. the label of `mask_labels[i][j]` if `class_labels[i][j]`.

Pad images up to the largest image in a batch and create a corresponding `pixel_mask`.

MaskFormer addresses semantic segmentation with a mask classification paradigm, thus input segmentation maps will be converted to lists of binary masks and their respective labels. Let’s see an example, assuming `segmentation_maps = [[2,6,7,9]]`, the output will contain `mask_labels = [[1,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0],[0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,1]]` (four binary masks) and `class_labels = [2,6,7,9]`, the labels for each mask.

The [MaskFormerModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.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.

* **hidden\_states** `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` containing `encoder_hidden_states`, `pixel_decoder_hidden_states` and `decoder_hidden_states`.
* **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`. Attentions weights from Detr’s decoder after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

The [MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/maskformer#transformers.MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentation) 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.

```
>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, MaskFormerForInstanceSegmentation
>>> 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(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
>>> # model predicts class_queries_logits of shape `(batch_size, num_queries)`
>>> # and masks_queries_logits of shape `(batch_size, num_queries, height, width)`
>>> class_queries_logits = outputs.class_queries_logits
>>> masks_queries_logits = outputs.masks_queries_logits

>>> # you can pass them to image_processor for postprocessing
>>> predicted_semantic_map = image_processor.post_process_semantic_segmentation(
...     outputs, target_sizes=[image.size[::-1]]
... )[0]

>>> # we refer to the demo notebooks for visualization (see "Resources" section in the MaskFormer docs)
>>> list(predicted_semantic_map.shape)
