🎉 MPViT has been accepted in CVPR2022.

We explore multi-scale patch embedding and multi-path structure, constructing the Multi-Path Vision Transformer (MPViT). MPViT embeds features of the same size (i.e., sequence length) with patches of different scales simultaneously by using overlapping convolutional patch embedding. Tokens of different scales are then independently fed into the Transformer encoders via multiple paths and the resulting features are aggregated, enabling both fine and coarse feature representations at the same feature level. Thanks to the diverse and multi-scale feature representations, our MPViTs scaling from Tiny(5M) to Base(73M) consistently achieve superior performance over state-of-the-art Vision Transformers on ImageNet classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation. These extensive results demonstrate that MPViT can serve as a versatile backbone network for various vision tasks.

🚀 These all models are trained on ImageNet-1K with the same training recipe as DeiT and CoaT.

🚀 All model are trained using ImageNet-1K pretrained weights.

☀️ MS denotes the same multi-scale training augmentation as in Swin-Transformer which follows the MS augmentation as in DETR and Sparse-RCNN. Therefore, we also follows the official implementation of DETR and Sparse-RCNN which are also based on Detectron2.

Please refer to detectron2/ for the details.

All models are trained using the same training recipe.

Please refer to deformable_detr/ for the details.

All model are trained using ImageNet-1K pretrained weight.

Please refer to semantic_segmentation/ for the details.

✋ We use pytorch==1.7.0 torchvision==0.8.1 cuda==10.1 libraries on NVIDIA V100 GPUs. If you use different versions of cuda, you may obtain different accuracies, but the differences are negligible.
