+# Zero-shot object detection
+
+[[open-in-colab]]
+
+Traditionally, models used for [object detection](object_detection) require labeled image datasets for training,
+and are limited to detecting the set of classes from the training data.
+
+Zero-shot object detection is supported by the [OWL-ViT](../model_doc/owlvit) model which uses a different approach. OWL-ViT
+is an open-vocabulary object detector. It means that it can detect objects in images based on free-text queries without
+the need to fine-tune the model on labeled datasets.
+
+OWL-ViT leverages multi-modal representations to perform open-vocabulary detection. It combines [CLIP](../model_doc/clip) with
+lightweight object classification and localization heads. Open-vocabulary detection is achieved by embedding free-text queries with the text encoder of CLIP and using them as input to the object classification and localization heads.
+associate images and their corresponding textual descriptions, and ViT processes image patches as inputs. The authors
+of OWL-ViT first trained CLIP from scratch and then fine-tuned OWL-ViT end to end on standard object detection datasets using
+a bipartite matching loss.
+
+With this approach, the model can detect objects based on textual descriptions without prior training on labeled datasets.
+
+In this guide, you will learn how to use OWL-ViT:
+- to detect objects based on text prompts
+- for batch object detection
+- for image-guided object detection
+
+Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary libraries installed:
+
+```bash
+pip install -q transformers
+```
+
+## Zero-shot object detection pipeline
+
+The simplest way to try out inference with OWL-ViT is to use it in a [`pipeline`]. Instantiate a pipeline
+for zero-shot object detection from a [checkpoint on the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?other=owlvit):
+
+```python
+>>> from transformers import pipeline
+
+>>> checkpoint = "google/owlvit-base-patch32"
+>>> detector = pipeline(model=checkpoint, task="zero-shot-object-detection")
+```
+
+Next, choose an image you'd like to detect objects in. Here we'll use the image of astronaut Eileen Collins that is
+a part of the [NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/index.html) Great Images dataset.
+
+```py
+>>> import skimage
+>>> import numpy as np
+>>> from PIL import Image
+
+>>> image = skimage.data.astronaut()
+>>> image = Image.fromarray(np.uint8(image)).convert("RGB")
+
+>>> image
+```
+
+
+

+
+
+Pass the image and the candidate object labels to look for to the pipeline.
+Here we pass the image directly; other suitable options include a local path to an image or an image url. We also pass text descriptions for all items we want to query the image for.
+
+```py
+>>> predictions = detector(
+... image,
+... candidate_labels=["human face", "rocket", "nasa badge", "star-spangled banner"],
+... )
+>>> predictions
+[{'score': 0.3571370542049408,
+ 'label': 'human face',
+ 'box': {'xmin': 180, 'ymin': 71, 'xmax': 271, 'ymax': 178}},
+ {'score': 0.28099656105041504,
+ 'label': 'nasa badge',
+ 'box': {'xmin': 129, 'ymin': 348, 'xmax': 206, 'ymax': 427}},
+ {'score': 0.2110239565372467,
+ 'label': 'rocket',
+ 'box': {'xmin': 350, 'ymin': -1, 'xmax': 468, 'ymax': 288}},
+ {'score': 0.13790413737297058,
+ 'label': 'star-spangled banner',
+ 'box': {'xmin': 1, 'ymin': 1, 'xmax': 105, 'ymax': 509}},
+ {'score': 0.11950037628412247,
+ 'label': 'nasa badge',
+ 'box': {'xmin': 277, 'ymin': 338, 'xmax': 327, 'ymax': 380}},
+ {'score': 0.10649408400058746,
+ 'label': 'rocket',
+ 'box': {'xmin': 358, 'ymin': 64, 'xmax': 424, 'ymax': 280}}]
+```
+
+Let's visualize the predictions:
+
+```py
+>>> from PIL import ImageDraw
+
+>>> draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
+
+>>> for prediction in predictions:
+... box = prediction["box"]
+... label = prediction["label"]
+... score = prediction["score"]
+
+... xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax = box.values()
+... draw.rectangle((xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax), outline="red", width=1)
+... draw.text((xmin, ymin), f"{label}: {round(score,2)}", fill="white")
+
+>>> image
+```
+
+
+

+
+
+## Text-prompted zero-shot object detection by hand
+
+Now that you've seen how to use the zero-shot object detection pipeline, let's replicate the same
+result manually.
+
+Start by loading the model and associated processor from a [checkpoint on the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?other=owlvit).
+Here we'll use the same checkpoint as before:
+
+```py
+>>> from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForZeroShotObjectDetection
+
+>>> model = AutoModelForZeroShotObjectDetection.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
+>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
+```
+
+Let's take a different image to switch things up.
+
+```py
+>>> import requests
+
+>>> url = "https://unsplash.com/photos/oj0zeY2Ltk4/download?ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8MTR8fHBpY25pY3xlbnwwfHx8fDE2Nzc0OTE1NDk&force=true&w=640"
+>>> im = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
+>>> im
+```
+
+
+

+
+
+Use the processor to prepare the inputs for the model. The processor combines an image processor that prepares the
+image for the model by resizing and normalizing it, and a [`CLIPTokenizer`] that takes care of the text inputs.
+
+```py
+>>> text_queries = ["hat", "book", "sunglasses", "camera"]
+>>> inputs = processor(text=text_queries, images=im, return_tensors="pt")
+```
+
+Pass the inputs through the model, post-process, and visualize the results. Since the image processor resized images before
+feeding them to the model, you need to use the [`~OwlViTImageProcessor.post_process_object_detection`] method to make sure the predicted bounding
+boxes have the correct coordinates relative to the original image:
+
+```py
+>>> import torch
+
+>>> with torch.no_grad():
+... outputs = model(**inputs)
+... target_sizes = torch.tensor([im.size[::-1]])
+... results = processor.post_process_object_detection(outputs, threshold=0.1, target_sizes=target_sizes)[0]
+
+>>> draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
+
+>>> scores = results["scores"].tolist()
+>>> labels = results["labels"].tolist()
+>>> boxes = results["boxes"].tolist()
+
+>>> for box, score, label in zip(boxes, scores, labels):
+... xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax = box
+... draw.rectangle((xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax), outline="red", width=1)
+... draw.text((xmin, ymin), f"{text_queries[label]}: {round(score,2)}", fill="white")
+
+>>> im
+```
+
+
+

+
+
+## Batch processing
+
+You can pass multiple sets of images and text queries to search for different (or same) objects in several images.
+Let's use both an astronaut image and the beach image together.
+For batch processing, you should pass text queries as a nested list to the processor and images as lists of PIL images,
+PyTorch tensors, or NumPy arrays.
+
+```py
+>>> images = [image, im]
+>>> text_queries = [
+... ["human face", "rocket", "nasa badge", "star-spangled banner"],
+... ["hat", "book", "sunglasses", "camera"],
+... ]
+>>> inputs = processor(text=text_queries, images=images, return_tensors="pt")
+```
+
+Previously for post-processing you passed the single image's size as a tensor, but you can also pass a tuple, or, in case
+of several images, a list of tuples. Let's create predictions for the two examples, and visualize the second one (`image_idx = 1`).
+
+```py
+>>> with torch.no_grad():
+... outputs = model(**inputs)
+... target_sizes = [x.size[::-1] for x in images]
+... results = processor.post_process_object_detection(outputs, threshold=0.1, target_sizes=target_sizes)
+
+>>> image_idx = 1
+>>> draw = ImageDraw.Draw(images[image_idx])
+
+>>> scores = results[image_idx]["scores"].tolist()
+>>> labels = results[image_idx]["labels"].tolist()
+>>> boxes = results[image_idx]["boxes"].tolist()
+
+>>> for box, score, label in zip(boxes, scores, labels):
+... xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax = box
+... draw.rectangle((xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax), outline="red", width=1)
+... draw.text((xmin, ymin), f"{text_queries[image_idx][label]}: {round(score,2)}", fill="white")
+
+>>> images[image_idx]
+```
+
+
+

+
+
+## Image-guided object detection
+
+In addition to zero-shot object detection with text queries, OWL-ViT offers image-guided object detection. This means
+you can use an image query to find similar objects in the target image.
+Unlike text queries, only a single example image is allowed.
+
+Let's take an image with two cats on a couch as a target image, and an image of a single cat
+as a query:
+
+```py
+>>> url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
+>>> image_target = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
+
+>>> query_url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000524280.jpg"
+>>> query_image = Image.open(requests.get(query_url, stream=True).raw)
+```
+
+Let's take a quick look at the images:
+
+```py
+>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2)
+>>> ax[0].imshow(image_target)
+>>> ax[1].imshow(query_image)
+```
+
+
+

+
+
+In the preprocessing step, instead of text queries, you now need to use `query_images`:
+
+```py
+>>> inputs = processor(images=image_target, query_images=query_image, return_tensors="pt")
+```
+
+For predictions, instead of passing the inputs to the model, pass them to [`~OwlViTForObjectDetection.image_guided_detection`]. Draw the predictions
+as before except now there are no labels.
+
+```py
+>>> with torch.no_grad():
+... outputs = model.image_guided_detection(**inputs)
+... target_sizes = torch.tensor([image_target.size[::-1]])
+... results = processor.post_process_image_guided_detection(outputs=outputs, target_sizes=target_sizes)[0]
+
+>>> draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image_target)
+
+>>> scores = results["scores"].tolist()
+>>> boxes = results["boxes"].tolist()
+
+>>> for box, score, label in zip(boxes, scores, labels):
+... xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax = box
+... draw.rectangle((xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax), outline="white", width=4)
+
+>>> image_target
+```
+
