Add Mask2Former to SMP

[caxel-ap]

Mask2Former model was introduced in the paper Masked-attention Mask Transformer for Universal Image Segmentation and first released in this repository.

Mask2Former addresses instance, semantic and panoptic segmentation with the same paradigm: by predicting a set of masks and corresponding labels. Hence, all 3 tasks are treated as if they were instance segmentation. Mask2Former outperforms the previous SOTA, MaskFormer both in terms of performance an efficiency by (i) replacing the pixel decoder with a more advanced multi-scale deformable attention Transformer, (ii) adopting a Transformer decoder with masked attention to boost performance without without introducing additional computation and (iii) improving training efficiency by calculating the loss on subsampled points instead of whole masks.

Thanks for opening an issue @caxel-ap 🤗 It might be a first instance segmentation model in the library, let's see if anyone would be a eager to contribute, I suppose it will be super impactful 👍

Even just for semantic segmentation would be great to have in here someday, I’ve had good results using it in transformers for semantic with https://huggingface.co/facebook/mask2former-swin-large-ade-semantic
