FasterViT: Fast Vision Transformers with Hierarchical Attention

FasterViT: Fast Vision Transformers with Hierarchical Attention

FasterViT achieves a new SOTA Pareto-front in terms of accuracy vs. image throughput without extra training data !

Note: Please use the latest NVIDIA TensorRT release to enjoy the benefits of optimized FasterViT ops.

Quick Start

We can import pre-trained FasterViT models with 1 line of code. First, FasterViT can be simply installed by:

pip install fastervit

A pretrained FasterViT model with default hyper-parameters can be created as in the following:

>>> from fastervit import create_model

# Define fastervit-0 model with 224 x 224 resolution

>>> model = create_model('faster_vit_0_224', 
                          pretrained=True,
                          model_path="/tmp/faster_vit_0.pth.tar")

model_path is used to set the directory to download the model.

We can also simply test the model by passing a dummy input image. The output is the logits:

>>> import torch

>>> image = torch.rand(1, 3, 224, 224)
>>> output = model(image) # torch.Size([1, 1000])

We can also use the any-resolution FasterViT model to accommodate arbitrary image resolutions. In the following, we define an any-resolution FasterViT-0 model with input resolution of 576 x 960, window sizes of 12 and 6 in 3rd and 4th stages, carrier token size of 2 and embedding dimension of 64:

>>> from fastervit import create_model

# Define any-resolution FasterViT-0 model with 576 x 960 resolution
>>> model = create_model('faster_vit_0_any_res', 
                          resolution=[576, 960],
                          window_size=[7, 7, 12, 6],
                          ct_size=2,
                          dim=64,
                          pretrained=True)

Note that the above model is intiliazed from the original ImageNet pre-trained FasterViT with original resolution of 224 x 224. As a result, missing keys and mis-matches could be expected since we are addign new layers (e.g. addition of new carrier tokens, etc.)

We can simply test the model by passing a dummy input image. The output is the logits:

>>> import torch

>>> image = torch.rand(1, 3, 576, 960)
>>> output = model(image) # torch.Size([1, 1000])

Robustness (ImageNet-A - ImageNet-R - ImageNet-V2)

All models use crop_pct=0.875. Results are obtained by running inference on ImageNet-1K pretrained models without finetuning.
