However, we observe that the speed and accuracy of YOLOs are negatively affected by the NMS. Recently, end-to-end Transformer-based detectors (DETRs) have provided an alternative to eliminating NMS. Nevertheless, the high computational cost limits their practicality and hinders them from fully exploiting the advantage of excluding NMS. In this paper, we propose the Real-Time DEtection TRansformer (RT-DETR), the first real-time end-to-end object detector to our best knowledge that addresses the above dilemma. We build RT-DETR in two steps, drawing on the advanced DETR: first we focus on maintaining accuracy while improving speed, followed by maintaining speed while improving accuracy.…

Questions About rtdetr_r50vd
How much GPU memory does rtdetr_r50vd need?
About 0.1 GB at 16-bit and 0 GB at 4-bit: the weights (43M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run rtdetr_r50vd on?
At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

The RT-DETRv2 model was proposed in RT-DETRv2: Improved Baseline with Bag-of-Freebies for Real-Time Detection Transformer by Wenyu Lv, Yian Zhao, Qinyao Chang, Kui Huang, Guanzhong Wang, Yi Liu. RT-DETRv2 refines RT-DETR by introducing selective multi-scale feature extraction, a discrete sampling operator for broader deployment compatibility, and improved training strategies like dynamic data augmentation and scale-adaptive hyperparameters. These changes enhance flexibility and practicality while maintaining real-time performance. This model was contributed by @jadechoghari with the help of @cyrilvallez and @qubvel-hf This is RT-DETRv2 consistently outperforms its predecessor across all…
This model is fine-tuned version of microsoft/conditional-detr-resnet-50. You can find details of model in this github repo -> fashion-visual-search And you can find fashion image feature extractor model -> yainage90/fashion-image-feature-extractor This model was trained using a combination of two datasets: modanet and fashionpedia The labels are ['bag', 'bottom', 'dress', 'hat', 'shoes', 'outer', 'top'] In the 96th epoch out of total of 100 epochs, the best score was achieved with mAP 0.7542. Therefore, it is believed that there is a little room for performance improvement.
Conditional DEtection TRansformer (DETR) model trained end-to-end on COCO 2017 object detection (118k annotated images). It was introduced in the paper Conditional DETR for Fast Training Convergence by Meng et al. and first released in this repository. The recently-developed DETR approach applies the transformer encoder and decoder architecture to object detection and achieves promising performance. In this paper, we handle the critical issue, slow training convergence, and present a conditional cross-attention mechanism for fast DETR training. Our approach is motivated by that the cross-attention in DETR relies highly on the content embeddings for localizing the four extremities and…

This should output The DAB-DETR model was trained on COCO 2017 object detection, a dataset consisting of 118k/5k annotated images for training/validation respectively. Following Deformable DETR and Conditional DETR, we use 300 anchors as queries. We select 300 predicted boxes and labels with the largest classification logits for evaluation as well. We also use focal loss (Lin et al., 2020) with α = 0.25, γ = 2 for classification. The same loss terms are used in bipartite matching and final loss calculating, but with different coefficients. Classification loss…
DEtection TRansformer (DETR) model trained end-to-end on COCO 2017 object detection (118k annotated images). It was introduced in the paper End-to-End Object Detection with Transformers by Carion et al. and first released in this repository. Disclaimer: The team releasing DETR did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. The DETR model is an encoder-decoder transformer with a convolutional backbone. Two heads are added on top of the decoder outputs in order to perform object detection: a linear layer for the class labels and a MLP (multi-layer perceptron) for the bounding boxes. The model uses so-called object queries to detect…
