APE: Aligning and Prompting Everything All at Once for Universal Visual Perception

🍇 [Read our arXiv Paper]   🍎 [Try our Demo (CPU version)]

---

💡 Highlight

• High Performance. SotA (or competitive) performance on 160 datasets with only one model.
• Perception in the Wild. Detect and segment everything with thousands of vocabularies or language descriptions all at once.
• Flexible. Support both foreground objects and background stuff for instance segmentation and semantic segmentation.

🏷️ TODO

• Release inference code and demo.
• Release checkpoints.
• Release training codes.
• Add clean docs.

🛠️ Install

1. Clone the APE repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/shenyunhang/APE
cd APE

2. Install the required dependencies and APE:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m pip install -e .

▶️ Demo Localy

Web UI demo

pip3 install gradio
cd APE/demo
python3 app.py

If you have GPUs, this demo will detect them and use one GPU.

📚 Data Prepare

Following here to prepare the following datasets:

🧪 Inference

Infer on 160+ dataset

We provide several scripts to evaluate all models.

It is necessary to adjust the checkpoint location and GPU number in the scripts before running them.

scripts/eval_all_D.sh
scripts/eval_all_C.sh
scripts/eval_all_B.sh
scripts/eval_all_A.sh
