# Open Remove Background Model (ormbg)

This model is a **fully open-source background remover** optimized for images with humans. It is based on [Highly Accurate Dichotomous Image Segmentation research](https://github.com/xuebinqin/DIS). The model was trained with the synthetic [Human Segmentation Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/schirrmacher/humans), [P3M-10k](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/p3m-10k), [PPM-100](https://github.com/ZHKKKe/PPM) and [AIM-500](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/aim-500).
This model is similar to [RMBG-1.4](https://huggingface.co/briaai/RMBG-1.4), but with open training data/process and commercially free to use.
## Inference
```
python ormbg/inference.py
```
## Training
Install dependencies:
```
conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate ormbg
```
Replace dummy dataset with [training dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/schirrmacher/humans).
```
python3 ormbg/train_model.py
```
# Research
I started training the model with synthetic images of the [Human Segmentation Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/schirrmacher/humans) crafted with [LayerDiffuse](https://github.com/layerdiffusion/LayerDiffuse). However, I noticed that the model struggles to perform well on real images.
Synthetic datasets have limitations for achieving great segmentation results. This is because artificial lighting, occlusion, scale or backgrounds create a gap between synthetic and real images. A "model trained solely on synthetic data generated with naïve domain randomization struggles to generalize on the real domain", see [PEOPLESANSPEOPLE: A Synthetic Data Generator for Human-Centric Computer Vision (2022)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.09290).
### Next steps:
- Expand dataset with synthetic and real images
- Research on state of the art loss functions
### Latest changes (26/07/2024):
- Created synthetic dataset with 10k images, crafted with [BlenderProc](https://github.com/DLR-RM/BlenderProc)
- Removed training data created with [LayerDiffuse](https://github.com/layerdiffusion/LayerDiffuse), since it lacks the accuracy needed
- Improved model performance (after 100k iterations):
- F1: 0.9888 -> 0.9932
- MAE: 0.0113 -> 0.008
- Scores based on [this validation dataset](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yy9clZ58xCiai1zYESQkEKZCkslSC8eg)
### 05/07/2024
- Added [P3M-10K](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/p3m-10k) dataset for training and validation
- Added [AIM-500](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/aim-500) dataset for training and validation
- Added [PPM-100](https://github.com/ZHKKKe/PPM) dataset for training and validation
- Applied [Grid Dropout](https://albumentations.ai/docs/api_reference/augmentations/dropout/grid_dropout/) to make the model smarter
