• 2023/12/27: Models and demo of TinySAM are now available in Hugging Face. Thanks for merveenoyan.
• 2023/12/27: Pre-trained models and codes of Q-TinySAM (quantized variant) are released.
• 2023/12/27: Evaluation codes for zero-shot instance segmentation task on COCO are released.
• 2023/12/22: Pre-trained models and codes of TinySAM are released both in Pytorch and Mindspore.

Overview

We propose a framework to obtain a tiny segment anything model (TinySAM) while maintaining the strong zero-shot performance. We first propose a full-stage knowledge distillation method with online hard prompt sampling strategy to distill a lightweight student model. We also adapt the post-training quantization to the promptable segmentation task and further reducing the computational cost. Moreover, a hierarchical segmenting everything strategy is proposed to accelerate the everything inference by with almost no performance degradation. With all these proposed methods, our TinySAM leads to orders of magnitude computational reduction and pushes the envelope for efficient segment anything task. Extensive experiments on various zero-shot transfer tasks demonstrate the significantly advantageous performance of our TinySAM against counterpart methods.

Requirements

The code requires python>=3.7 and we use torch==1.10.2 and torchvision==0.11.3. To visualize the results, matplotlib>=3.5.1 is also required.

• python 3.7
• pytorch == 1.10.2
• torchvision == 0.11.3
• matplotlib==3.5.1

Usage

1. Download checkpoints into the directory of weights.

2. Run the demo code for single prompt of point or box.

python demo.py

3. Run the demo code for hierarchical segment everything strategy.

python demo_hierachical_everything.py

4. Run the demo code for quantization inference.

python demo_quant.py

Evaluation

We follow the setting of original SAM paper and evaluate the zero-shot instance segmentaion on COCO and LVIS dataset. The experiment results are described as followed.

Model	FLOPs (G)	COCO AP (%)	LVIS AP (%)
SAM-H	3166	46.5	44.7
SAM-L	1681	45.5	43.5
SAM-B	677	41.0	40.8
FastSAM	344	37.9	34.5
MobileSAM	232	41.0	37.0
TinySAM [ckpt]	232	41.9	38.6
Q-TinySAM [ckpt]	61	41.3	37.2

First download the detection boxes (coco_instances_results_vitdet.json) produced by ViTDet model, as well as the ground-truth instance segmentation labels(instances_val2017.json) and put them into eval/json_files.

Run the following code to perform evaluation for zero-shot instance segmentation on COCO dataset.

cd eval; sh eval_coco.sh

The results should be:

Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.419
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.683
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.75      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.436
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.260
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.456
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.583
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=  1 ] = 0.325
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets= 10 ] = 0.511
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.532
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.390
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.577
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.671
