# Florence-2: Advancing a Unified Representation for a Variety of Vision Tasks

## Model Summary

This Hub repository contains a HuggingFace's `transformers` implementation of Florence-2 model from Microsoft.

Florence-2 is an advanced vision foundation model that uses a prompt-based approach to handle a wide range of vision and vision-language tasks.  Florence-2 can interpret simple text prompts to perform tasks like captioning, object detection, and segmentation. It leverages our FLD-5B dataset, containing 5.4 billion annotations across 126 million images, to master multi-task learning. The model's sequence-to-sequence architecture enables it to excel in both zero-shot and fine-tuned settings, proving to be a competitive vision foundation model.

## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model. All models are trained with float16. 

```python
import requests

import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCausalLM 


device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
torch_dtype = torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-large", torch_dtype=torch_dtype, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-large", trust_remote_code=True)

prompt = "<OD>"

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/tasks/car.jpg?download=true"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt").to(device, torch_dtype)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    input_ids=inputs["input_ids"],
    pixel_values=inputs["pixel_values"],
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    num_beams=3,
    do_sample=False
)
generated_text = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=False)[0]

parsed_answer = processor.post_process_generation(generated_text, task="<OD>", image_size=(image.width, image.height))

print(parsed_answer)

```


## Tasks

This model is capable of performing different tasks through changing the prompts.

First, let's define a function to run a prompt.

```python
import requests

import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCausalLM 

device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
torch_dtype = torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-large", torch_dtype=torch_dtype, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/Florence-2-large", trust_remote_code=True)

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/tasks/car.jpg?download=true"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

def run_example(task_prompt, text_input=None):
    if text_input is None:
        prompt = task_prompt
    else:
        prompt = task_prompt + text_input
    inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt").to(device, torch_dtype)
    generated_ids = model.generate(
      input_ids=inputs["input_ids"],
      pixel_values=inputs["pixel_values"],
      max_new_tokens=1024,
      num_beams=3
    )
    generated_text = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=False)[0]

    parsed_answer = processor.post_process_generation(generated_text, task=task_prompt, image_size=(image.width, image.height))

    print(parsed_answer)
```
</details>

Here are the tasks `Florence-2` could perform:

<details>
<summary> Click to expand </summary>



### Caption
```python
prompt = "<CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### Detailed Caption
```python
prompt = "<DETAILED_CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### More Detailed Caption
```python
prompt = "<MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### Caption to Phrase Grounding 
caption to phrase grounding task requires additional text input, i.e. caption. 

Caption to phrase grounding results format: 
{'\<CAPTION_TO_PHRASE_GROUNDING>': {'bboxes': [[x1, y1, x2, y2], ...], 'labels': ['', '', ...]}}
```python
task_prompt = "<CAPTION_TO_PHRASE_GROUNDING>"
results = run_example(task_prompt, text_input="A green car parked in front of a yellow building.")
```

### Object Detection

OD results format: 
{'\<OD>': {'bboxes': [[x1, y1, x2, y2], ...], 
'labels': ['label1', 'label2', ...]} }

```python
prompt = "<OD>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### Dense Region Caption
Dense region caption results format: 
{'\<DENSE_REGION_CAPTION>' : {'bboxes': [[x1, y1, x2, y2], ...], 
'labels': ['label1', 'label2', ...]} }
```python
prompt = "<DENSE_REGION_CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### Region proposal
Dense region caption results format: 
{'\<REGION_PROPOSAL>': {'bboxes': [[x1, y1, x2, y2], ...], 
'labels': ['', '', ...]}}
```python
prompt = "<REGION_PROPOSAL>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### OCR 

```python
prompt = "<OCR>"
run_example(prompt)
```

### OCR with Region
OCR with region output format:
{'\<OCR_WITH_REGION>': {'quad_boxes': [[x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4], ...], 'labels': ['text1', ...]}}
```python
prompt = "<OCR_WITH_REGION>"
run_example(prompt)
```

## Florence-2 finetuned performance 

We finetune Florence-2 models with a collection of downstream tasks, resulting two generalist models *Florence-2-base-ft* and *Florence-2-large-ft* that can conduct a wide range of downstream tasks. 
  
The table below compares the performance of specialist and generalist models on various captioning and Visual Question Answering (VQA) tasks. Specialist models are fine-tuned specifically for each task, whereas generalist models are fine-tuned in a task-agnostic manner across all tasks. The symbol "▲" indicates the usage of external OCR as input.
