From d590eb6658cab33e4dc9706186b79188e6734fd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jirka Borovec <6035284+Borda@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 21:01:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf(detection): keep mixed-mask Detections.merge compact (#2383) - Improved `Detections.merge()` to preserve `CompactMask` output when merging dense and compact masks by converting dense masks to compact form, avoiding unnecessary full-mask materialization while keeping all-dense and all-compact behavior unchanged. - Added validation to mixed-mask merging that raises `ValueError` when compact masks have inconsistent image shapes or dense mask dimensions do not match the compact mask image size. - Added the public `CompactMask.image_shape` property for safe access to compact mask dimensions. - Updated `Detections.merge()` documentation to describe mixed-mask merge behavior, output types, validation errors, the lossy dense-to-compact conversion outside detection bounding boxes, and that NMS/NMM pairwise operations do not preserve `CompactMask`. - Added a comprehensive "Use Compact Masks" how-to guide covering compact mask ingestion, inference, annotator mask requirements, and mixed-mask merging, and integrated it into the documentation navigation. --------- Co-authored-by: claude[bot] <209825114+claude[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: pre-commit-ci[bot] <66853113+pre-commit-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> --- docs/changelog.md | 4 + docs/how_to/use_compact_masks.md | 189 +++++++++++++++++ mkdocs.yml | 1 + src/supervision/detection/compact_mask.py | 21 ++ src/supervision/detection/core.py | 98 ++++++++- .../test_compact_mask_integration.py | 14 +- tests/detection/test_core.py | 191 ++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 509 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/how_to/use_compact_masks.md diff --git a/docs/changelog.md b/docs/changelog.md index c832a7f9..a8add0cc 100644 --- a/docs/changelog.md +++ b/docs/changelog.md @@ -17,6 +17,10 @@ date_modified: 2026-06-25 - `BaseAnnotator.requires_mask` — class-level `bool` flag on all annotators; `True` for `MaskAnnotator`, `PolygonAnnotator`, and `HaloAnnotator`; `False` for all others.

Previously (0.29.0/0.29.1) the mixed path fell back to `np.vstack`, allocating a full `(N, H, W)` array; the new path converts dense inputs to `CompactMask` without materialising the full stack (~2 500× less peak memory, ~13× faster on 1080p / 40 detections). **Behavior change**: code that checks `isinstance(merged.mask, np.ndarray)` or calls bare ndarray methods (`.astype`, `.reshape`, `.ravel`) on a mixed-merge result will need to be updated. The all-dense path is unchanged and still returns `ndarray`. ### 0.29.1 Jun 23, 2026 diff --git a/docs/how_to/use_compact_masks.md b/docs/how_to/use_compact_masks.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1c0aa328 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/how_to/use_compact_masks.md @@ -0,0 +1,189 @@ +--- +comments: true +description: Use CompactMask for memory-efficient instance segmentation in supervision — ingest COCO RLE payloads, skip mask materialisation, and merge mixed dense and compact detections without allocating a full pixel stack. +authors: + - name: Borda + role: Open Source Engineer, Roboflow + github: https://github.com/borda +date_modified: 2026-07-01 +--- + +# Use Compact Masks for Memory-Efficient Segmentation + +[CompactMask][supervision.detection.compact_mask.CompactMask] stores each instance mask as a run-length encoding of its bounding-box **crop** rather than a full `(H, W)` boolean frame.
