đ Mask2Former
The Mask2Former model is trained on COCO panoptic segmentation (small-sized version, Swin backbone). It offers a unified approach to address instance, semantic, and panoptic segmentation.
đ Quick Start
The Mask2Former model presented here is trained on COCO panoptic segmentation. 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.
⨠Features
- Unified Segmentation Paradigm: Mask2Former addresses instance, semantic, and panoptic segmentation using the same approach, by predicting a set of masks and corresponding labels.
- Performance and Efficiency: It outperforms the previous SOTA, MaskFormer, in both performance and efficiency through several key improvements.
- Advanced Architecture: It replaces the pixel decoder with a more advanced multi - scale deformable attention Transformer, adopts a Transformer decoder with masked attention, and improves training efficiency by calculating the loss on subsampled points instead of whole masks.

Model description
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 introducing additional computation and (iii) improving training efficiency by calculating the loss on subsampled points instead of whole masks.
Intended uses & limitations
You can use this particular checkpoint for panoptic segmentation. See the model hub to look for other fine - tuned versions on a task that interests you.

Basic Usage
import requests
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, Mask2FormerForUniversalSegmentation
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/mask2former-swin-small-coco-panoptic")
model = Mask2FormerForUniversalSegmentation.from_pretrained("facebook/mask2former-swin-small-coco-panoptic")
url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
class_queries_logits = outputs.class_queries_logits
masks_queries_logits = outputs.masks_queries_logits
result = processor.post_process_panoptic_segmentation(outputs, target_sizes=[image.size[::-1]])[0]
predicted_panoptic_map = result["segmentation"]
