A research-ready implementation of scene graph generation using deep learning. This project provides a complete pipeline for detecting objects and their relationships in images, representing them as structured scene graphs.
Scene graphs are structured representations of images that capture objects and their relationships. This project implements the MotifNet architecture with modern PyTorch practices, providing:
- Object Detection: Detect and localize objects in images
- Relationship Prediction: Identify relationships between detected objects
- Graph Representation: Structure the results as a scene graph
- Interactive Demo: Web-based interface for testing the model
- Modern Architecture: MotifNet with ResNet50 backbone and graph neural networks
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Multiple metrics including mAP, Recall@K, and scene graph completeness
- Device Support: Automatic device detection (CUDA, MPS, CPU) with mixed precision training
- Interactive Demo: Streamlit-based web interface for easy testing
- Production Ready: Clean code structure with proper configuration management
- Extensible: Easy to add new models, datasets, and evaluation metrics
- Python 3.10+
- PyTorch 2.0+
- CUDA (optional, for GPU acceleration)
- MPS (optional, for Apple Silicon)
