Pyramid Vision Transformer (PVT)

##
Overview

The PVT model was proposed in Pyramid Vision Transformer: A Versatile Backbone for Dense Prediction without Convolutions by Wenhai Wang, Enze Xie, Xiang Li, Deng-Ping Fan, Kaitao Song, Ding Liang, Tong Lu, Ping Luo, Ling Shao. The PVT is a type of vision transformer that utilizes a pyramid structure to make it an effective backbone for dense prediction tasks. Specifically it allows for more fine-grained inputs (4 x 4 pixels per patch) to be used, while simultaneously shrinking the sequence length of the Transformer as it deepens - reducing the computational cost. Additionally, a spatial-reduction attention (SRA) layer is used to further reduce the resource consumption when learning high-resolution features.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great success in computer vision, this work investigates a simpler, convolution-free backbone network useful for many dense prediction tasks. Unlike the recently proposed Vision Transformer (ViT) that was designed for image classification specifically, we introduce the Pyramid Vision Transformer (PVT), which overcomes the difficulties of porting Transformer to various dense prediction tasks. PVT has several merits compared to current state of the arts. Different from ViT that typically yields low resolution outputs and incurs high computational and memory costs, PVT not only can be trained on dense partitions of an image to achieve high output resolution, which is important for dense prediction, but also uses a progressive shrinking pyramid to reduce the computations of large feature maps. PVT inherits the advantages of both CNN and Transformer, making it a unified backbone for various vision tasks without convolutions, where it can be used as a direct replacement for CNN backbones. We validate PVT through extensive experiments, showing that it boosts the performance of many downstream tasks, including object detection, instance and semantic segmentation. For example, with a comparable number of parameters, PVT+RetinaNet achieves 40.4 AP on the COCO dataset, surpassing ResNet50+RetinNet (36.3 AP) by 4.1 absolute AP (see Figure 2). We hope that PVT could serve as an alternative and useful backbone for pixel-level predictions and facilitate future research.

This model was contributed by Xrenya. The original code can be found here.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a PvtModel. It is used to instantiate an Pvt model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the Pvt Xrenya/pvt-tiny-224 architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import PvtModel, PvtConfig

    >>> # Initializing a PVT Xrenya/pvt-tiny-224 style configuration
    >>> configuration = PvtConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a model from the Xrenya/pvt-tiny-224 style configuration
    >>> model = PvtModel(configuration)

    >>> # Accessing the model configuration
    >>> configuration = model.config

PvtForImageClassification

###
class transformers.PvtForImageClassification

< source >

( config: PvtConfig )

Parameters

- config (~PvtConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module sub-class. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

- pixel_values (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using AutoImageProcessor. See PvtImageProcessor.call() for details.
- output_attentions (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail.

- return_dict (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
- labels (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size,)`, optional) — Labels for computing the image classification/regression loss. Indices should be in `[0, ..., config.num_labels - 1]`. If `config.num_labels == 1` a regression loss is computed (Mean-Square loss), If `config.num_labels > 1` a classification loss is computed (Cross-Entropy).

Returns

transformers.modeling_outputs.ImageClassifierOutput or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`
