Introduction

We introduce Grounding DINO 1.5, a suite of advanced open-set object detection models developed by IDEA Research, which aims to advanced the "Edge" of open-set object detection. The suite encompasses two models:

• Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro: Our most capable model for open-set object detection, which is designed for stronger generalization capability across a wide range of scenarios.

• Grounding DINO 1.5 Edge: Our most efficient model for edge computing scenarios, which is optimized for faster speed demanded in many applications requiring edge deployment.

Note: We use "edge" for its dual meaning both as in pushing the boundaries and as in running on edge devices.

Model Framework

The overall framework of Grounding DINO 1.5 is as the following image:

Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro preserves the core architecture of Grounding DINO which employs a deep early fusion architecture.

Performance

Side-by-Side Performance Comparison with Grounding DINO

Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro vs Grounding DINO

Zero-Shot Transfer Results of Grounding DINO 1.5 & 1.6 Pro

• Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro achieves SOTA performance on COCO, LVIS-minival, LVIS-val, and ODinW35 zero-shot transfer benchmarks.
• Grounding DINO 1.6 Pro has significantly improved the model's performance on the COCO, LVIS zero-shot transfer benchmarks, particularly in the LVIS-rare classes.

Grounding DINO 1.5 as a Strong Few-Shot Learner

We validate the transferability of Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro on ODinW few-shot benchmarks and Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro has achieved new SOTA results on the ODinW few-shot setting.

• "Full" means fine-tuning the full model.
• Follow GLIP, for each few-shot setting, we train the models three times using different random seeds for train/validation splits.

Fine-tuning Results on Downstream Datasets

• † indicates results of fine-tuning with LVIS base categories only.
