Add pipeline tag and improve model card
Browse filesHi! I'm Niels from the Hugging Face community team.
I've noticed this model repository is missing a `pipeline_tag` in its metadata. Adding `pipeline_tag: image-feature-extraction` will help users discover this model when filtering by task on the Hugging Face Hub.
I've also:
- Updated the GitHub link to the official organization repository.
- Refined the sample usage snippet based on your GitHub README.
- Cleaned up the Markdown to be more concise.
Feel free to merge if this looks good!

*PL-Stitch* is an image foundation model that captures visual changes over time, enabling procedural activity understanding. It takes an image as input and produces a feature vector as output, leveraging the novel Plackett-Luce temporal ranking objective to build a comprehensive understanding of both the static semantic information and the procedural context within each frame.

Abstract
|
| 43 |
-
--------
|
| 44 |
-
Procedural activities, ranging from routine cooking to complex surgical operations, are highly structured as a set of actions conducted in a specific temporal order. Despite their success on static images and short clips, current self-supervised learning methods often overlook the procedural nature that underpins such activities. We expose the lack of procedural awareness in current SSL methods with a motivating experiment: models pretrained on forward and time-reversed sequences produce highly similar features, confirming that their representations are blind to the underlying procedural order. To address this shortcoming, we propose PL-Stitch, a self-supervised framework that harnesses the inherent temporal order of video frames as a powerful supervisory signal. Our approach integrates two novel probabilistic objectives based on the Plackett-Luce (PL) model. The primary PL objective trains the model to sort sampled frames chronologically, compelling it to learn the global workflow progression. The secondary objective, a spatio-temporal jigsaw loss, complements the learning by capturing fine-grained, cross-frame object correlations. Our approach consistently achieves superior performance across five surgical and cooking benchmarks. Specifically, PL-Stitch yields significant gains in surgical phase recognition (e.g., +11.4 pp k-NN accuracy on Cholec80) and cooking action segmentation (e.g., +5.7 pp linear probing accuracy on Breakfast), demonstrating its effectiveness for procedural video representation learning.

## Sample Usage
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
+
You can download the checkpoint and run the following code to extract features from your video frames. Note that this requires the `pl_stitch` package from the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/visurg-ai/PL-Stitch).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
+
```python
|
| 22 |
+
import torch
|
| 23 |
+
import numpy as np
|
| 24 |
+
from PIL import Image
|
| 25 |
+
from pl_stitch.build_model import build_model
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
+
# Load the pre-trained pl_stitch model
|
| 28 |
+
# Ensure you have the checkpoint file (e.g., pl_lemon.pth) locally
|
| 29 |
+
pl_stitch = build_model(pretrained_weights = 'path/to/pl_lemon.pth')
|
| 30 |
+
pl_stitch.eval()
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
+
# Load the image and convert it to a PyTorch tensor
|
| 33 |
+
img_path = 'path/to/your/image.jpg'
|
| 34 |
+
img = Image.open(img_path).convert('RGB')
|
| 35 |
+
img = img.resize((224, 224))
|
| 36 |
+
img_tensor = torch.tensor(np.array(img)).permute(2, 0, 1).float().unsqueeze(0).to('cuda')
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
+
# Extract features from the image
|
| 39 |
+
with torch.no_grad():
|
| 40 |
+
outputs = pl_stitch(img_tensor)
|
| 41 |
+
