Overview
	
The UPerNet model was proposed in Unified Perceptual Parsing for Scene Understanding
by Tete Xiao, Yingcheng Liu, Bolei Zhou, Yuning Jiang, Jian Sun. UPerNet is a general framework to effectively segment
a wide range of concepts from images, leveraging any vision backbone like ConvNeXt or Swin.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Humans recognize the visual world at multiple levels: we effortlessly categorize scenes and detect objects inside, while also identifying the textures and surfaces of the objects along with their different compositional parts. In this paper, we study a new task called Unified Perceptual Parsing, which requires the machine vision systems to recognize as many visual concepts as possible from a given image. A multi-task framework called UPerNet and a training strategy are developed to learn from heterogeneous image annotations. We benchmark our framework on Unified Perceptual Parsing and show that it is able to effectively segment a wide range of concepts from images. The trained networks are further applied to discover visual knowledge in natural scenes.

Usage
	
UPerNet is a general framework for semantic segmentation. It can be used with any vision backbone, like so:
	Copied
from transformers import SwinConfig, UperNetConfig, UperNetForSemanticSegmentation
backbone_config = SwinConfig(out_features=["stage1", "stage2", "stage3", "stage4"])
config = UperNetConfig(backbone_config=backbone_config)
model = UperNetForSemanticSegmentation(config)
To use another vision backbone, like ConvNeXt, simply instantiate the model with the appropriate backbone:
	Copied
from transformers import ConvNextConfig, UperNetConfig, UperNetForSemanticSegmentation
backbone_config = ConvNextConfig(out_features=["stage1", "stage2", "stage3", "stage4"])
config = UperNetConfig(backbone_config=backbone_config)
model = UperNetForSemanticSegmentation(config)
Note that this will randomly initialize all the weights of the model.

(
backbone_config = None
hidden_size = 512
initializer_range = 0.02
pool_scales = [1, 2, 3, 6]
use_auxiliary_head = True
auxiliary_loss_weight = 0.4
auxiliary_in_channels = 384
auxiliary_channels = 256
auxiliary_num_convs = 1
auxiliary_concat_input = False
loss_ignore_index = 255
**kwargs
)
Parameters 
backbone_config (PretrainedConfig or dict, optional, defaults to ResNetConfig()) —
The configuration of the backbone model.
hidden_size (int, optional, defaults to 512) —
The number of hidden units in the convolutional layers.
initializer_range (float, optional, defaults to 0.02) —
The standard deviation of the truncated_normal_initializer for initializing all weight matrices.
pool_scales (Tuple[int], optional, defaults to [1, 2, 3, 6]) —
Pooling scales used in Pooling Pyramid Module applied on the last feature map.
use_auxiliary_head (bool, optional, defaults to True) —
Whether to use an auxiliary head during training.
auxiliary_loss_weight (float, optional, defaults to 0.4) —
Weight of the cross-entropy loss of the auxiliary head.
auxiliary_channels (int, optional, defaults to 256) —
Number of channels to use in the auxiliary head.
auxiliary_num_convs (int, optional, defaults to 1) —
Number of convolutional layers to use in the auxiliary head.
auxiliary_concat_input (bool, optional, defaults to False) —
Whether to concatenate the output of the auxiliary head with the input before the classification layer.
loss_ignore_index (int, optional, defaults to 255) —
The index that is ignored by the loss function.
This is the configuration class to store the configuration of an UperNetForSemanticSegmentation. It is used to
instantiate an UperNet 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 UperNet
openmmlab/upernet-convnext-tiny architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.
Examples:
	Copied
 from transformers import UperNetConfig, UperNetForSemanticSegmentation
 # Initializing a configuration
 configuration = UperNetConfig()
 # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the configuration
 model = UperNetForSemanticSegmentation(configuration)
 # Accessing the model configuration
 configuration = model.config

Serializes this instance to a Python dictionary. Override the default to_dict(). Returns:
Dict[str, any]: Dictionary of all the attributes that make up this configuration instance,

Parameters 
This model is a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https —//pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) sub-class. Use
it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and —
behavior. —
config (UperNetConfig): 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.

transformers.modeling_outputs.SemanticSegmenterOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
Parameters 
pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, height, width)) —
Pixel values. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it. Pixel values can be obtained using
AutoImageProcessor. See SegformerImageProcessor.call() for details.
output_attentions (bool, optional) —
Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers in case the backbone has them. See
attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional) —
Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers of the backbone. 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.
labels (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, height, width), optional) —
Ground truth semantic segmentation maps for computing the loss. Indices should be in [0, ..., config.num_labels - 1]. If config.num_labels > 1, a classification loss is computed (Cross-Entropy).
Returns
transformers.modeling_outputs.SemanticSegmenterOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
A transformers.modeling_outputs.SemanticSegmenterOutput or a tuple of
torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration (UperNetConfig) and inputs.
loss (torch.FloatTensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) — Classification (or regression if config.num_labels==1) loss.
logits (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, config.num_labels, logits_height, logits_width)) — Classification scores for each pixel.
The logits returned do not necessarily have the same size as the pixel_values passed as inputs. This is
to avoid doing two interpolations and lose some quality when a user needs to resize the logits to the
original image size as post-processing. You should always check your logits shape and resize as needed.
hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, patch_size, hidden_size).
Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
attentions (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, patch_size, sequence_length).
Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
heads.
The UperNetForSemanticSegmentation 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.
