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.

Tasks
This model is capable of performing different tasks through changing the prompts.
Here are the tasks
Florence-2
could perform:
Caption
prompt = "<CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
Detailed Caption
prompt = "<DETAILED_CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
More Detailed Caption
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’: [‘’, ‘’, …]}}
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’, …]} }
prompt = "<OD>"
run_example(prompt)
Dense Region Caption
Dense region caption results format: {‘\<DENSE_REGION_CAPTION>’ : {‘bboxes’: [[x1, y1, x2, y2], …], ‘labels’: [‘label1’, ‘label2’, …]} }
prompt = "<DENSE_REGION_CAPTION>"
run_example(prompt)
Region proposal
Dense region caption results format: {‘\<REGION_PROPOSAL>‘: {‘bboxes’: [[x1, y1, x2, y2], …], ‘labels’: [‘’, ‘’, …]}}
prompt = "<REGION_PROPOSAL>"
run_example(prompt)
OCR
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’, …]}}
prompt = "<OCR_WITH_REGION>"
run_example(prompt)

Benchmarks
Florence-2 Zero-shot performance
The following table presents the zero-shot performance of generalist vision foundation models on image captioning and object detection evaluation tasks. These models have not been exposed to the training data of the evaluation tasks during their training phase.

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.
