How Moondream Detection works

Three straightforward steps to extract bounding boxes, target points, or gaze vectors from your imagery.

Upload source image

Provide a high-contrast image containing the objects, interfaces, or human subjects you want to localize.

Specify target and mode

Choose between bounding box, point centroid, or gaze detection, and enter a direct descriptive label.

Retrieve spatial coordinates

Receive an annotated visualization with color-coded overlays alongside normalized coordinate data.

What Moondream Detection is good at

Engineered with custom spatial tokenizers to deliver low-latency coordinate extraction and attention tracking.

Gaze Direction Tracking

Traces directional vectors from human eyes to identify focus points across visual frames, supported by custom spatial tokenizers.

Precise Point Centroids

Identifies exact centroid coordinates and sharp crosshair markers for interface buttons, hardware switches, or small physical artifacts without requiring bounding margins.

Object Boundary Localization

Emits crisp, color-coded boundary boxes fitted to targeted items using specialized coordinate and size tokens without clumsy text generation.

Monte Carlo Ensemble Mode

Averages flipped image encodings and Monte Carlo predictions on complex static compositions when absolute line-of-sight precision is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

MoondreamNext is the experimental release branch of the Moondream small vision-language model, introducing dedicated gaze tracking and refined spatial point detection alongside standard bounding boxes.

Moondream Detection performs three primary spatial vision tasks: rectangular object localization (bbox_detection), centroid coordinate pinpointing (point_detection), and human eye-gaze vector tracking (gaze_detection).

Enable use_ensemble only for static, complex images where extreme gaze accuracy is necessary. Turning on ensemble mode performs flipped image encodings and Monte Carlo predictions to refine coordinate estimations, which increases precision while compounding inference latency.

Moondream is not built for pixel-level semantic segmentation masks, dense scenes containing hundreds of tiny objects, high-resolution document OCR, or multi-turn conversational reasoning.

Moondream was created by Vikhyat Korrapati (Moondream/M87 Labs) as an ultra-efficient small vision-language model designed for low-latency spatial understanding on resource-constrained hardware.
