Video: Ncut spectral embedding eigenvectors, on SAM features.

Installation

pip install -U ncut-pytorch

Quick Start: plain Ncut

import torch
from ncut_pytorch import Ncut, kway_ncut
from ncut_pytorch.color import umap_color, mspace_color

features = torch.rand(1960, 768)
eigvecs = Ncut(n_eig=20).fit_transform(features)  # (1960, 20)

# Color visualizations
rgb_umap = umap_color(eigvecs[:, :20])      # UMAP-based RGB
rgb_mspace = mspace_color(features, n_eig=20)  # M-space RGB

# Discrete segmentation
n_cluster = 10
kway_eigvecs = kway_ncut(eigvecs[:, :n_cluster])
cluster_assignment = kway_eigvecs.argmax(1)
cluster_centroids = kway_eigvecs.argmax(0)

Quick Start: Ncut DINOv3 Predictor

from ncut_pytorch.predictor import NcutDinov3Predictor
from PIL import Image

predictor = NcutDinov3Predictor(model_cfg="dinov3_vitl16")
predictor = predictor.to('cuda')

images = [Image.open(f"images/view_{i}.jpg") for i in range(4)]
predictor.set_images(images)

image = predictor.summary(n_segments=[10, 25, 50, 100], draw_border=True)
display(image)
