Official pytorch implementation of [Grounding DINO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.05499), a stronger open-set object detector. Code is available now!


## Highlight

- **Open-Set Detection.** Detect **everything** with language!
- **High Performancce.** COCO zero-shot **52.5 AP** (training without COCO data!). COCO fine-tune **63.0 AP**.
- **Flexible.** Collaboration with Stable Diffusion for Image Editting.

## News
[2023/03/27] Support CPU-only mode. Now the model can run on machines without GPUs.\
[2023/03/25] A [demo](https://colab.research.google.com/github/roboflow-ai/notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/zero-shot-object-detection-with-grounding-dino.ipynb) for Grounding DINO is available at Colab. Thanks to @Piotr! \
[2023/03/22] Code is available Now!



## TODO 

- [x] Release inference code and demo.
- [x] Release checkpoints.
- [ ] Grounding DINO with Stable Diffusion and GLIGEN demos.
- [ ] Release training codes.

## Install 

If you have a CUDA environment, please make sure the environment variable `CUDA_HOME` is set. It will be compiled under CPU-only mode if no CUDA available.

```bash
pip install -e .
```

## Demo

```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=6 python demo/inference_on_a_image.py \
  -c /path/to/config \
  -p /path/to/checkpoint \
  -i .asset/cats.png \
  -o "outputs/0" \
  -t "cat ear." \
  [--cpu-only] # open it for cpu mode
```
See the `demo/inference_on_a_image.py` for more details.
