mask2former-swin-large-coco-instance

Mask2Former model trained on COCO instance segmentation (large-sized version, Swin backbone). It was introduced in the paper Masked-attention Mask Transformer for Universal Image Segmentation and first released in this repository. Disclaimer: The team releasing Mask2Former did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. Mask2Former addresses instance, semantic and panoptic segmentation with the same paradigm: by predicting a set of masks and corresponding labels. Hence, all 3 tasks are treated as if they were instance segmentation. Mask2Former outperforms the previous SOTA, MaskFormer both in terms of performance an efficiency by (i) replacing the pixel decoder with a more advanced multi-scale deformable attention Transformer, (ii) adopting a Transformer decoder with masked attention to boost performance without without introducing additional computation and (iii) improving training efficiency by calculating the loss on subsampled points instead of whole masks.
