This repo holds the official weights of BiRefNet_lite trained in 2K resolution.

Training Sets:

  • DIS5K (except DIS-VD)
  • HRS10K
  • UHRSD
  • P3M-10k (except TE-P3M-500-NP)
  • TR-humans
  • AM-2k
  • AIM-500
  • Human-2k (synthesized with BG-20k)
  • Distinctions-646 (synthesized with BG-20k)
  • HIM2K
  • PPM-100

HR samples selection:

size_h, size_w = 1440, 2560
ratio = 0.8
h, w = image.shape[:2]
h >= size_h and w >= size_w or (h > size_h * ratio and w > size_w * ratio)

Validation Sets:

  • DIS-VD
  • TE-P3M-500-NP
