Description

Replaces the per-instance loops in remap_instance_id (which scanned the full volume once per instance id — twice with by_size=True — for O(instances * volume) work) with a single torch.unique(return_inverse=True) + bincount + LUT-gather pass, computing the same relabeling in O(volume). Same approach as #8978; by_size tie-breaking (stable, ascending-id) and the int32 output dtype are preserved exactly.

Benchmark

Synthetic instance masks (random sparse ids, by_size=True), median of repeated runs, OMP_NUM_THREADS=8.

2D

Input (H×W, #inst) CPU speedup CUDA speedup
128×128, 40 ~4.2× ~8.2×
256×256, 80 ~10.8× ~10.4×
512×512, 150 ~9.1× ~17.9×
512×512, 300 ~18× ~36×
1024×1024, 150 ~5.7× ~16.6×
1024×1024, 500 ~18.7× ~54.6×

3D

Input (D×H×W, #inst) CPU speedup CUDA speedup
64×64×64, 30 ~2.4× ~3.8×
96×96×96, 50 ~2.8× ~5.8×
128×128×128, 80 ~3.6× ~8.9×
128×128×128, 200 ~8.6× ~21.6×
160×160×160, 120 ~5.8× ~13×

Numerics are bit-identical (torch.equal) at every size. The old implementation was slowest on GPU (e.g. 2720 ms for 1024×1024 with 500 instances, vs 262 ms on CPU) because the per-instance masked scans serialize; that inversion is gone (49.8 ms).

System: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12800H (20 threads, OMP_NUM_THREADS=8); NVIDIA RTX A1000 Laptop GPU (4 GB); Linux 6.8.0-124-generic x86_64; Python 3.10.12; PyTorch 2.12.1+cu130.

Types of changes

  • Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
  • New tests added to cover the changes.
  • The metrics tests passed locally (490 passed, including new parameterized cases for non-contiguous ids, size ties, no-background and empty inputs, and randomized 2D/3D equivalence against the previous implementation), along with black/isort/ruff/mypy.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

remap_instance_id now uses tensor lookup operations to remap foreground IDs to contiguous IDs. With by_size=True, it orders instances by descending voxel count and preserves ascending original-ID order for ties. When no foreground IDs exist, it returns pred unchanged. Tests cover expected mappings, pass-through behavior, output dtype, sparse IDs, multidimensional inputs, and reference equivalence.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5165c

This change speeds up instance ID remapping while preserving its results. No merge-blocking risk was identified.

Hi @aymuos15 super minor things but otherwise looks good.

Comment thread tests/metrics/test_remap_instance_id.py Outdated
torch.testing.assert_close already compares dtype, so the explicit
assertEqual on result.dtype was redundant.

Complete the Google-style docstrings for the new definitions.

_reference_remap lacks Args and Returns sections. test_output_dtype has no docstring. The other test methods only have summary lines. Document each parameter and return value where applicable, plus raised exceptions where applicable.

As per path instructions, Python definitions must have Google-style docstrings that describe variables, return values, and raised exceptions in the appropriate sections.
