# BRIA Background Removal v1.4 Model Card

RMBG v1.4 is our state-of-the-art background removal model, designed to effectively separate foreground from background in a range of
categories and image types. This model has been trained on a carefully selected dataset, which includes:
general stock images, e-commerce, gaming, and advertising content, making it suitable for commercial use cases powering enterprise content creation at scale. 
The accuracy, efficiency, and versatility currently rival leading source-available models. 
It is ideal where content safety, legally licensed datasets, and bias mitigation are paramount. 

Developed by BRIA AI, RMBG v1.4 is available as an source-available model for non-commercial use.

## Training data
Bria-RMBG model was trained with over 12,000 high-quality, high-resolution, manually labeled (pixel-wise accuracy), fully licensed images.
Our benchmark included balanced gender, balanced ethnicity, and people with different types of disabilities.
For clarity, we provide our data distribution according to different categories, demonstrating our model’s versatility.

### Distribution of images:

| Category | Distribution |
| -----------------------------------| -----------------------------------:|
| Objects only | 45.11% |
| People with objects/animals | 25.24% |
| People only | 17.35% |
| people/objects/animals with text | 8.52% |
| Text only | 2.52% |
| Animals only | 1.89% |

| Category | Distribution |
| -----------------------------------| -----------------------------------------:|
| Photorealistic | 87.70% |
| Non-Photorealistic | 12.30% |


| Category | Distribution |
| -----------------------------------| -----------------------------------:|
| Non Solid Background | 52.05% |
| Solid Background | 47.95% 


| Category | Distribution |
| -----------------------------------| -----------------------------------:|
| Single main foreground object | 51.42% |
| Multiple objects in the foreground | 48.58% |


## Qualitative Evaluation

![examples](results.png)


## Architecture

RMBG v1.4 is developed on the [IS-Net](https://github.com/xuebinqin/DIS) enhanced with our unique training scheme and proprietary dataset. 
These modifications significantly improve the model’s accuracy and effectiveness in diverse image-processing scenarios.

## Installation
```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/briaai/RMBG-1.4
cd RMBG-1.4/
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

```python
from skimage import io
import torch, os
from PIL import Image
from briarmbg import BriaRMBG
from utilities import preprocess_image, postprocess_image
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

model_path = hf_hub_download("briaai/RMBG-1.4", 'model.pth')
im_path = f"{os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))}/example_input.jpg"

net = BriaRMBG()
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
net.load_state_dict(torch.load(model_path, map_location=device))
net.to(device)
net.eval()    

# prepare input
model_input_size = [1024,1024]
orig_im = io.imread(im_path)
orig_im_size = orig_im.shape[0:2]
image = preprocess_image(orig_im, model_input_size).to(device)

# inference 
result=net(image)

# post process
result_image = postprocess_image(result[0][0], orig_im_size)

# save result
pil_im = Image.fromarray(result_image)
no_bg_image = Image.new("RGBA", pil_im.size, (0,0,0,0))
orig_image = Image.open(im_path)
no_bg_image.paste(orig_image, mask=pil_im)
no_bg_image.save("example_image_no_bg.png")
```
