SuperPoint

##
Overview

The SuperPoint model was proposed in SuperPoint: Self-Supervised Interest Point Detection and Description by Daniel DeTone, Tomasz Malisiewicz and Andrew Rabinovich.

This model is the result of a self-supervised training of a fully-convolutional network for interest point detection and description. The model is able to detect interest points that are repeatable under homographic transformations and provide a descriptor for each point. The use of the model in its own is limited, but it can be used as a feature extractor for other tasks such as homography estimation, image matching, etc.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

This paper presents a self-supervised framework for training interest point detectors and descriptors suitable for a large number of multiple-view geometry problems in computer vision. As opposed to patch-based neural networks, our fully-convolutional model operates on full-sized images and jointly computes pixel-level interest point locations and associated descriptors in one forward pass. We introduce Homographic Adaptation, a multi-scale, multi-homography approach for boosting interest point detection repeatability and performing cross-domain adaptation (e.g., synthetic-to-real). Our model, when trained on the MS-COCO generic image dataset using Homographic Adaptation, is able to repeatedly detect a much richer set of interest points than the initial pre-adapted deep model and any other traditional corner detector. The final system gives rise to state-of-the-art homography estimation results on HPatches when compared to LIFT, SIFT and ORB.

Usage tips

Here is a quick example of using the model to detect interest points in an image:

    from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, SuperPointForKeypointDetection
    import torch
    from PIL import Image
    import requests

    url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
    image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

    processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")
    model = SuperPointForKeypointDetection.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")

    inputs = processor(image, return_tensors="pt")
    outputs = model(**inputs)

The outputs contain the list of keypoint coordinates with their respective score and description (a 256-long vector).

You can also feed multiple images to the model. Due to the nature of SuperPoint, to output a dynamic number of keypoints, you will need to use the mask attribute to retrieve the respective information :

    from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, SuperPointForKeypointDetection
    import torch
    from PIL import Image
    import requests

    url_image_1 = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
    image_1 = Image.open(requests.get(url_image_1, stream=True).raw)
    url_image_2 = "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000000568.jpg"
    image_2 = Image.open(requests.get(url_image_2, stream=True).raw)

    images = [image_1, image_2]

    processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")
    model = SuperPointForKeypointDetection.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")

    inputs = processor(images, return_tensors="pt")
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    image_sizes = [(image.height, image.width) for image in images]
    outputs = processor.post_process_keypoint_detection(outputs, image_sizes)

    for output in outputs:
        for keypoints, scores, descriptors in zip(output["keypoints"], output["scores"], output["descriptors"]):
            print(f"Keypoints: {keypoints}")
            print(f"Scores: {scores}")
            print(f"Descriptors: {descriptors}")

You can then print the keypoints on the image of your choice to visualize the result:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    plt.axis("off")
    plt.imshow(image_1)
    plt.scatter(
        outputs[0]["keypoints"][:, 0],
        outputs[0]["keypoints"][:, 1],
        c=outputs[0]["scores"] * 100,
        s=outputs[0]["scores"] * 50,
        alpha=0.8
    )
    plt.savefig(f"output_image.png")

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a SuperPointForKeypointDetection. It is used to instantiate a SuperPoint model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the SuperPoint magic-leap-community/superpoint architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import SuperPointConfig, SuperPointForKeypointDetection

    >>> # Initializing a SuperPoint superpoint style configuration
    >>> configuration = SuperPointConfig()
    >>> # Initializing a model from the superpoint style configuration
    >>> model = SuperPointForKeypointDetection(configuration)
    >>> # Accessing the model configuration
    >>> configuration = model.config

post_process_keypoint_detection

< source >

( outputs: SuperPointKeypointDescriptionOutput target_sizes: typing.Union[transformers.utils.generic.TensorType, typing.List[typing.Tuple]] ) →
`List[Dict]`

Parameters

- outputs (`SuperPointKeypointDescriptionOutput`) — Raw outputs of the model containing keypoints in a relative (x, y) format, with scores and descriptors.
- target_sizes (`torch.Tensor` or `List[Tuple[int, int]]`) — Tensor of shape `(batch_size, 2)` or list of tuples (`Tuple[int, int]`) containing the target size `(height, width)` of each image in the batch. This must be the original image size (before any processing).

Returns

`List[Dict]`

SuperPointForKeypointDetection

###
class transformers.SuperPointForKeypointDetection

< source >

( config: SuperPointConfig )

Parameters

- config (SuperPointConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

SuperPoint model outputting keypoints and descriptors. This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

SuperPoint model. It consists of a SuperPointEncoder, a SuperPointInterestPointDecoder and a SuperPointDescriptorDecoder. SuperPoint was proposed in `SuperPoint: Self-Supervised Interest Point Detection and Description <https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.07629>`__ by Daniel DeTone, Tomasz Malisiewicz, and Andrew Rabinovich. It is a fully convolutional neural network that extracts keypoints and descriptors from an image. It is trained in a self-supervised manner, using a combination of a photometric loss and a loss based on the homographic adaptation of keypoints. It is made of a convolutional encoder and two decoders: one for keypoints and one for descriptors.

forward

< source >

( pixel_values: FloatTensor labels: typing.Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None output_hidden_states: typing.Optional[bool] = None return_dict: typing.Optional[bool] = None )

Parameters

- pixel_values (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using SuperPointImageProcessor. See SuperPointImageProcessor.call() for details.
- output_hidden_states (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for more detail.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

  Examples:

The SuperPointForKeypointDetection forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module` instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.
