In this work, the authors present new baselines by improving the original Pyramid Vision Transformer (PVT v1) by adding three designs, including (1) linear complexity attention layer, (2) overlapping patch embedding, and (3) convolutional feed-forward network. With these modifications, PVT v2 reduces the computational complexity of PVT v1 to linear and achieves significant improvements on fundamental vision tasks such as classification, detection, and segmentation.[1]

- Top-1 and Top-5: Accuracy reported on the validation set of ImageNet-1K.
Please refer to the installation instruction in MindCV.
Please download the ImageNet-1K dataset for model training and validation.
- Distributed Training
It is easy to reproduce the reported results with the pre-defined training recipe. For distributed training on multiple Ascend 910 devices, please run
# distrubted training on multiple GPU/Ascend devices
msrun --bind_core=True --worker_num 8 python train.py --config configs/pvtv2/pvt_v2_b0_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenetSimilarly, you can train the model on multiple GPU devices with the above msrun command.
For detailed illustration of all hyper-parameters, please refer to config.py.
Note: As the global batch size (batch_size x num_devices) is an important hyper-parameter, it is recommended to keep the global batch size unchanged for reproduction or adjust the learning rate linearly to a new global batch size.
- Standalone Training
If you want to train or finetune the model on a smaller dataset without distributed training, please run:
# standalone training on a CPU/GPU/Ascend device
python train.py --config configs/pvtv2/pvt_v2_b0_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/dataset --distribute FalseTo validate the accuracy of the trained model, you can use validate.py and parse the checkpoint path
with --ckpt_path.
python validate.py -c configs/pvtv2/pvt_v2_b0_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenet --ckpt_path /path/to/ckptPlease refer to the deployment tutorial in MindCV.
