Highlights

Beyond Grounding DINO 1.5, DINO-X has several improvements, taking a step forward towards becoming a more general object-centric vision model. The highlights of the DINO-X are as follows:

✨ The Strongest Open-Set Detection Performance: DINO-X Pro set new SOTA results on zero-shot transfer detection benchmarks: 56.0 AP on COCO, 59.8 AP on LVIS-minival and 52.4 AP on LVIS-val. Notably, it scores 63.3 AP and 56.5 AP on the rare classes of LVIS-minival and LVIS-val benchmarks, improving the previous SOTA performance by 5.8 box AP and 5.0 box AP. Such a result underscores its significantly enhanced capacity for recognizing long-tailed objects.

🔥 Diverse Input Prompt and Multi-level Output Semantic Representations: DINO-X can accept text prompts, visual prompts, and customized prompts as input, and it outputs representations at various semantic levels, including bounding boxes, segmentation masks, pose keypoints, and object captions, with multiple perception heads.

🍉 Rich and Practical Capabilities: DINO-X can simultaneously support lots of highly practical tasks, including Open-Set Object Detection and Segmentation, Phrase Grounding, Visual-Prompt Counting, Pose Estimation, and Region Captioning. We further develop a universal object prompt to achieve Prompt-Free Anything Detection and Recognition.

Model Framework

DINO-X can accept text prompts, visual prompts, and customized prompts as input, and it can generate representations at various semantic levels, including bounding boxes, segmentation masks, pose keypoints, and object captions.

Performance

Side-by-Side Performance Comparison with Previous Best Methods

Zero-Shot Performance on Object Detection Benchmarks

• Performance: DINO-X Pro achieves SOTA performance on COCO, LVIS-minival, LVIS-val, zero-shot object detection benchmarks.
• Effective Long-tail Object Detection: DINO-X Pro has significantly improved the model's performance on LVIS-rare classes, significantly surpassing the previous SOTA Grounding DINO 1.6 Pro model by 5.8 AP and 5.0 AP, respectively, demonstrating the exceptional capability of DINO-X in long-tailed object detection scenarios.

Zero-Shot Performance on Segmentation Benchmarks

• Performance: DINO-X achieves mask AP scores of 37.9, 43.8, and 38.5 on the COCO, LVIS-minival, and LVIS-val zero-shot instance segmentation benchmarks, respectively.Compared to Grounded SAM and Grounded SAM 2, there is still a notable performance gap for DINO-X to catch up. We will further optimize the segmentation performance in the future release.
• Effeciency: Unlike Grounded SAM series, DINO-X significantly improves the segmentation efficiency by generating corresponding masks for each region without requiring multiple complex inference steps.
• Practical Usage: Users can use the mask function of DINO-X based on their actual needs. If the users require simultaneously object segmentation and tracking, we recommend using the latest Grounded SAM 2 (DINO-X + SAM 2), which we have already implemented in here.

API Usage

Installation

• Install the required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: If you encounter some errors with API, please install the latest version of dds-cloudapi-sdk:

pip install dds-cloudapi-sdk --upgrade

Run local API demos

Open-World Object Detection and Segmentation

Open-world detection means users can detect anything with text prompts, try this feature by setting your API token in demo.py and run local demo:

python demo.py

After running the local demo, the annotated image will be saved at: ./outputs/open_world_detection

With the text prompt "wheel . eye . helmet . mouse . mouth . vehicle . steering wheel . ear . nose", we will get the predicton results as follows:

Demo Image	Box Prediction	Mask Prediction

Prompt-Free Anything Detection and Segmentation

We've implemented a novel Prompt Free object detection feature, which means users do not need to provide any prompt and DINO-X will automatically recognize, detect and segment the objects in the provided images. You can try this feature with the following script after setting your API token:

python prompt_free_demo.py

After running the local demo, the annotated image will be saved at: ./outputs/prompt_free_detection_segmentation

With the specific text prompt "<prompt_free>", we will get the predicton results as follows:

Demo Image	Box Prediction	Mask Prediction
