This repository is the official PyTorch implementation for OmDet-Turbo, a fast transformer-based open-vocabulary object detection model.

⭐️Highlights

1. OmDet-Turbo is a transformer-based real-time open-vocabulary detector that combines strong OVD capabilities with fast inference speed. This model addresses the challenges of efficient detection in open-vocabulary scenarios while maintaining high detection performance.
2. We introduce the Efficient Fusion Head, a swift multimodal fusion module designed to alleviate the computational burden on the encoder and reduce the time consumption of the head with ROI.
3. OmDet-Turbo-Base model, achieves state-of-the-art zero-shot performance on the ODinW and OVDEval datasets, with AP scores of 30.1 and 26.86, respectively.
4. The inference speed of OmDetTurbo-Base on the COCO val2017 dataset reach 100.2 FPS on an A100 GPU.

Follow the Installation Instructions to set up the environments for OmDet-Turbo

1. Download our pretrained model and the CLIP checkpoints.
2. Create a folder named resources, put downloaded models into this folder.
3. Run run_demo.py, the images with predicted results will be saved at ./outputs folder.

We already added language cache while inferring with run_demo.py. For more details, please open and check run_demo.py scripts.

The performance of COCO and LVIS are evaluated under zero-shot setting.
