Model Card for vit_reg4_l14_nps_ls_dino-v2-lvd142m

A ViT l14 with register tokens image encoder from the DINOv2 model by Oquab et al., converted to the Birder format for image feature extraction. This version preserves the original model weights and architecture for downstream tasks.

Model Usage

Image Embeddings

import birder
from birder.inference.classification import infer_image

(net, model_info) = birder.load_pretrained_model("vit_reg4_l14_nps_ls_dino-v2-lvd142m", inference=True)

# Get the image size the model was trained on
size = birder.get_size_from_signature(model_info.signature)

# Create an inference transform
transform = birder.classification_transform(size, model_info.rgb_stats)

image = "path/to/image.jpeg"  # or a PIL image
(out, embedding) = infer_image(net, image, transform, return_embedding=True)
# embedding is a NumPy array with shape of (1, 1024)

Detection Feature Map

from PIL import Image
import birder

(net, model_info) = birder.load_pretrained_model("vit_reg4_l14_nps_ls_dino-v2-lvd142m", inference=True)

# Get the image size the model was trained on
size = birder.get_size_from_signature(model_info.signature)

# Create an inference transform
transform = birder.classification_transform(size, model_info.rgb_stats)

image = Image.open("path/to/image.jpeg")
features = net.detection_features(transform(image).unsqueeze(0))
# features is a dict (stage name -> torch.Tensor)
print([(k, v.size()) for k, v in features.items()])
# Output example:
# [('neck', torch.Size([1, 1024, 37, 37]))]
