## Abstract
In this work, we propose a new segmentation task --- ***reasoning segmentation***. The task is designed to output a segmentation mask given a complex and implicit query text. We establish a benchmark comprising over one thousand image-instruction pairs, incorporating intricate reasoning and world knowledge for evaluation purposes. Finally, we present LISA: Large-language Instructed Segmentation Assistant, which inherits the language generation capabilities of the multi-modal Large Language Model (LLM) while also possessing the ability to produce segmentation masks.
For more details, please refer to:

## Highlights
**LISA** unlocks the new segmentation capabilities of multi-modal LLMs, and can handle cases involving: 
1. complex reasoning; 
2. world knowledge; 
3. explanatory answers; 
4. multi-turn conversation. 

**LISA** also demonstrates robust zero-shot capability when trained exclusively on reasoning-free datasets. In addition, fine-tuning the model with merely 239 reasoning segmentation image-instruction pairs results in further performance enhancement.

## Experimental results

## Installation
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Inference
To chat with [LISA-13B-llama2-v0](https://huggingface.co/xinlai/LISA-13B-llama2-v0): (Note that the model currently does not support explanatory answers.)
```
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 chat.py --version='xinlai/LISA-13B-llama2-v0'
```
To use `bfloat16` data type for inference:
```
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 chat.py --version='xinlai/LISA-13B-llama2-v0' --precision='bf16'
```

After that, input the text prompt and then the image path. For example，
```
- Please input your prompt: Where can the driver see the car speed in this image? Please output segmentation mask.
- Please input the image path: imgs/example1.jpg

- Please input your prompt: Can you segment the food that tastes spicy and hot?
- Please input the image path: imgs/example2.jpg
```
The results should be like:
<p align="center"> <img src="imgs/example1.jpg" width="22%"> <img src="vis_output/example1_masked_img_0.jpg" width="22%"> <img src="imgs/example2.jpg" width="25%"> <img src="vis_output/example2_masked_img_0.jpg" width="25%"> </p>
