Introduction

This repository is the project page for GLIP. GLIP demonstrate strong zero-shot and few-shot transferability to various object-level recognition tasks.

  1. When directly evaluated on COCO and LVIS (without seeing any images in COCO), GLIP achieves 49.8 AP and 26.9 AP, respectively, surpassing many supervised baselines.
  2. After fine-tuned on COCO, GLIP achieves 60.8 AP on val and 61.5 AP on test-dev, surpassing prior SoTA.
  3. When transferred to 13 downstream object detection tasks, a few-shot GLIP rivals with a fully-supervised Dynamic Head.

We provide code for:

  1. pre-training GLIP on detection and grounding data;
  2. zero-shot evaluating GLIP on standard benchmarks (COCO, LVIS, Flickr30K) and custom COCO-formated datasets;
  3. fine-tuning GLIP on standard benchmarks (COCO) and custom COCO-formated datasets;
  4. a Colab demo.
  5. Toolkits for the Object Detection in the Wild Benchmark (ODinW) with 35 downstream detection tasks.

Please see respective sections for instructions.

Demo

Please see a Colab demo at link!

The Object Detection in the Wild Benchmark

ODinW was first proposed in GLIP and refined and formalized in ELEVATER. GLIP used 13 downstream tasks while the full ODinW has 35 downstream tasks. It will be hosted as a challenge at the CV in the Wild Workshop @ ECCV 2022. We hope our code encourage the community to participate in this challenge!

Please see odinw/README.md for instructions.

[1] Zero-shot and fine-tuning performance on COCO val2017.

[2] Zero-shot performance on LVIS minival (APr) with the last pre-trained checkpoint.

[3] On LVIS, the model could overfit slightly during the pre-training course. Thus we reported two numbers on LVIS: the performance of the last checkpoint (LVIS[2]) and the performance of the best checkpoint during the pre-training course (LVIS[3]).

[4] Zero-shot performance on the 13 ODinW datasets. The numbers reported in the GLIP paper is from the best checkpoint during the pre-training course, which may be slightly higher than the numbers for the released last checkpoint, similar to the case of LVIS.

[5] GLIP-T released in this repo is pre-trained on Conceptual Captions 3M and SBU captions. It is referred in paper in Table 1 and in Appendix C.3. It differs slightly from the GLIP-T in the main paper in terms of downstream performance. We will release the pre-training support for using CC3M and SBU captions data in the next update.

[6] This config is only intended for zero-shot evaluation and fine-tuning. Pre-training config with support for using CC3M and SBU captions data will be updated.

[7] GLIP-L released in this repo is pre-trained on Conceptual Captions 3M+12M and SBU captions. It slightly outperforms the GLIP-L in the main paper because the model used to annotate the caption data are improved compared to the main paper. We will release the pre-training support for using CC3M+12M and SBU captions data in the next update.

[8] Multi-scale testing used.

[9] This config is only intended for zero-shot evaluation and fine-tuning. Pre-training config with support for using CC3M+12M and SBU captions data to be updated.

Pre-Training

Required Data. Prepare Objects365, Flickr30K, and MixedGrounding data as in DATA.md. Support for training using caption data (Conceptual Captions and SBU captions) will be released soon.

Command.

Perform pre-training with the following command (please change the config-file accordingly; checkout model zoo for the corresponding config; change the {output_dir} to your desired output directory):

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nnodes 2 --nproc_per_node=16 tools/train_net.py \
    --config-file configs/pretrain/glip_Swin_T_O365_GoldG.yaml \
    --skip-test --use-tensorboard --override_output_dir {output_dir}

For training GLIP-T models, we used nnodes = 2, nproc_per_node=16 on 32GB V100 machines. For training GLIP-L models, we used nnodes = 4, nproc_per_node=16 on 32GB V100 machines. Please setup the environment accordingly based on your local machine.

(Zero-Shot) Evaluation

COCO Evaluation

Prepare COCO/val2017 data as in DATA.md. Set {config_file}, {model_checkpoint} according to the Model Zoo; set {output_dir} to a folder where the evaluation results will be stored.

python tools/test_grounding_net.py --config-file {config_file} --weight {model_checkpoint} \
        TEST.IMS_PER_BATCH 1 \
        MODEL.DYHEAD.SCORE_AGG "MEAN" \
        TEST.EVAL_TASK detection \
        MODEL.DYHEAD.FUSE_CONFIG.MLM_LOSS False \
        OUTPUT_DIR {output_dir}

LVIS Evaluation

We follow MDETR to evaluate with the FixedAP criterion. Set {config_file}, {model_checkpoint} according to the Model Zoo. Prepare COCO/val2017 data as in DATA.md.

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 \
        tools/test_grounding_net.py \
        --config-file {config_file} \
        --task_config configs/lvis/minival.yaml \
        --weight {model_checkpoint} \
        TEST.EVAL_TASK detection OUTPUT_DIR {output_dir}

If you wish to evaluate on Val 1.0, set --task_config to configs/lvis/val.yaml.

ODinW / Custom Dataset Evaluation

GLIP supports easy evaluation on a custom dataset. Currently, the code supports evaluation on COCO-formatted dataset.

We will use the Aquarium dataset from ODinW as an example to show how to evaluate on a custom COCO-formatted dataset.

  1. Download the raw dataset from RoboFlow in the COCO format into DATASET/odinw/Aquarium. Each train/val/test split has a corresponding annotation file and a image folder.

  2. Remove the background class from the annotation file. This can be as simple as open "_annotations.coco.json" and remove the entry with "id:0" from "categories". For convenience, we provide the modified annotation files for Aquarium:

    wget https://penzhanwu2bbs.blob.core.windows.net/data/GLIPv1_Open/odinw/Aquarium/Aquarium%20Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco/test/annotations_without_background.json -O DATASET/odinw/Aquarium/Aquarium\ Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco/test/annotations_without_background.json
wget https://penzhanwu2bbs.blob.core.windows.net/data/GLIPv1_Open/odinw/Aquarium/Aquarium%20Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco/train/annotations_without_background.json -O DATASET/odinw/Aquarium/Aquarium\ Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco/train/annotations_without_background.json
wget https://penzhanwu2bbs.blob.core.windows.net/data/GLIPv1_Open/odinw/Aquarium/Aquarium%20Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco/valid/annotations_without_background.json -O DATASET/odinw/Aquarium/Aquarium\ Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco/valid/annotations_without_background.json

  3. Then create a yaml file as in configs/odinw_13/Aquarium_Aquarium_Combined.v2-raw-1024.coco.yaml. A few fields to be noted in the yamls:

    DATASET.CAPTION_PROMPT allows manually changing the prompt (the default prompt is simply concatnating all the categories);

    MODELS.*.NUM_CLASSES need to be set to the number of categories in the dataset (including the background class). E.g., Aquarium has 7 non-background categories thus MODELS.*.NUM_CLASSES is set to 8;

  4. Run the following command to evaluate on the dataset. Set {config_file}, {model_checkpoint} according to the Model Zoo. Set {odinw_configs} to the path of the task yaml file we just prepared.

python tools/test_grounding_net.py --config-file {config_file} --weight {model_checkpoint} \
      --task_config {odinw_configs} \
      TEST.IMS_PER_BATCH 1 SOLVER.IMS_PER_BATCH 1 \
      TEST.EVAL_TASK detection \
      DATASETS.TRAIN_DATASETNAME_SUFFIX _grounding \
      DATALOADER.DISTRIBUTE_CHUNK_AMONG_NODE False \
      DATASETS.USE_OVERRIDE_CATEGORY True \
      DATASETS.USE_CAPTION_PROMPT True

Flickr30K Evaluation

Prepare Flickr30K data as in DATA.md. Set {config_file}, {model_checkpoint} according to the Model Zoo.

python tools/test_grounding_net.py \
        --config-file {config_file} \
        --task_config configs/flickr/test.yaml,configs/flickr/val.yaml \
        --weight {model_checkpoint} \
        OUTPUT_DIR {output_dir} TEST.IMS_PER_BATCH 1 SOLVER.IMS_PER_BATCH 1 TEST.MDETR_STYLE_AGGREGATE_CLASS_NUM 100 TEST.EVAL_TASK grounding MODEL.DYHEAD.FUSE_CONFIG.MLM_LOSS False

Fine-Tuning

COCO Fine-Tuning

Prepare the COCO data as in DATA.md. Set {config_file}, {model_checkpoint} according to the Model Zoo.

Below is the fine-tuning script for tuning the Tiny models:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=16 tools/train_net.py \
       --config-file {config_file} \
       --skip-test \
       MODEL.WEIGHT {model_checkpoint} \
