What is vit-base-patch16-384?
The vit-base-patch16-384 is a Vision Transformer model that represents a significant advancement in computer vision. Originally developed by Google, this model processes images by dividing them into 16x16 pixel patches and treating them as a sequence of tokens, similar to how language transformers process words. The model was pre-trained on ImageNet-21k (14M images) and fine-tuned on ImageNet-1k at 384x384 resolution.
Implementation Details
This implementation uses a transformer encoder architecture with patch embeddings and position encodings. The model processes images at 384x384 resolution, dividing them into 16x16 pixel patches. It includes a special [CLS] token for classification tasks and uses absolute position embeddings.
