# WeVisOne-VL: Unified Visual Perception from Objects to Pixels

**Paper:** [WeVisOne-VL: Unified Visual Perception from Objects to Pixels](https://huggingface.co/papers/2610.31329) | **Project Page:** [WeVisOne-VL](https://tencent.github.io/WeVisOne-VL)

**WeVisOne-VL** (**We**Chat **Vis**ion All-in-**One**) is a unified vision-language model developed by WeChat Vision, Tencent Inc. Built upon Qwen3-VL, it unifies object-level perception (open-vocabulary object detection, referring localization, object counting, object pointing, and OCR) and pixel-level perception (referring segmentation and promptable alpha matting) through structured next-token prediction and a lightweight 9.6M-parameter pixel decoder.

## Quick Start

Install the inference package from [GitHub](https://github.com/Tencent/WeVisOne-VL), then:

```python
from PIL import Image
from wevisone_vl import WeVisOneVL

model = WeVisOneVL("tencent/WeVisOne-VL-4B", device="auto", dtype="bfloat16")
image = Image.open("example.jpg").convert("RGB")
result = model.predict(image, task="matting", query="person", temperature=0.0)
print(result.response, len(result.masks))
```

## Architecture & Released Revision

The model uses dedicated coordinate tokens (`<0>` ... `<1000>`) to represent normalized bounding boxes and points, returns `None` when a queried target is absent, and emits a special instance token (`<OBJ>`, token ID `152678`) after each predicted box for dense tasks.

The attached `mask_decoder.pt` (9,609,764 parameters) is a required core component that combines:
- A **Visual Feature Adapter** over multi-level Qwen3-VL pre-merging ViT features;
- A **Box-Guided Query Decoder** with 6 deformable cross-attention blocks initialized from the `<OBJ>` hidden state and Fourier-encoded box prior;
- An **Instance-Conditioned Dense Prediction Head** with `FullCanvasAlphaCascadeHead` (refining predictions across S/4, S/2, and S/1 to output full-resolution continuous alpha mattes at stride 1).

## Intended Use

The release is intended for research in visual grounding, referring localization, pointing, counting, OCR localization, referring segmentation, and image matting. It is not intended to make autonomous high-impact decisions or to identify individuals.

## Limitations

- Fine alpha boundaries remain sensitive to image resolution, severe occlusion, complex transparency, and prompt phrasing.
- For inference efficiency, the model directly generates structured outputs without explicit chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, and currently targets single-turn image perception (video grids are rejected by the pixel decoder).
