Highlight:

• GLEE is a general object foundation model jointly trained on over ten million images from various benchmarks with diverse levels of supervision.
• GLEE is capable of addressing a wide range of object-centric tasks simultaneously while maintaining state-of-the-art performance.
• GLEE demonstrates remarkable versatility and robust zero-shot transferability across a spectrum of object-level image and video tasks, and able to serve as a foundational component for enhancing other architectures or models.

We will release the following contents for GLEE❗

• Demo Code
• Model Checkpoint
• Comprehensive User Guide
• Training Code
• Evaluation Code

Introduction

GLEE consists of an image encoder, a text encoder, a visual prompter, and an object decoder, as illustrated in Figure. The text encoder processes arbitrary descriptions related to the task, including 1) object category list 2）object names in any form 3）captions about objects 4）referring expressions. The visual prompter encodes user inputs such as 1) points 2) bounding boxes 3) scribbles during interactive segmentation into corresponding visual representations of target objects. Then they are integrated into a detector for extracting objects from images according to textual and visual input.

Based on the above designs, GLEE can be used to seamlessly unify a wide range of object perception tasks in images and videos, including object detection, instance segmentation, grounding, multi-target tracking (MOT), video instance segmentation (VIS), video object segmentation (VOS), interactive segmentation and tracking, and supports open-world/large-vocabulary image and video detection and segmentation tasks.
