VOLO: Vision Outlooker for Visual Recognition, TPAMI, arxiv

This is a PyTorch implementation of our paper. We present Vision Outlooker (VOLO). We show that our VOLO achieves SOTA performance on ImageNet and CityScapes. No extra training data is used in our work.

ImageNet top-1 accuracy comparison with the state-of-the-art (sota) CNN-based and Transformer-based models. All results are based on the best test resolutions. Our VOLO-D5 achieves SOTA performance on ImageNet without extra data in 2021/06.

(Updating... codes and models for downstream tasks like semantic segmentation are coming soon.)

You may be also interested in our new MLP-like Model: Vision Permutator and our Token Labeling training objective for Vision Transformers.

All the pretrained models can also be downloaded by BaiDu Yun (password: ttbp).

Usage

Instructions on how to use our pre-trained VOLO models:

from models.volo import *
from utils import load_pretrained_weights 

# create model
model = volo_d1()

# load the pretrained weights
# change num_classes based on dataset, can work for different image size 
# as we interpolate the position embeding for different image size.
load_pretrained_weights(model, "/path/to/pretrained/weights", use_ema=False, 
                        strict=False, num_classes=1000)  

We also provide a Colab notebook which run the steps to perform inference with VOLO.

3. Validation

To evaluate our VOLO models, run:

python3 validate.py /path/to/imagenet  --model volo_d1 \
  --checkpoint /path/to/checkpoint --no-test-pool --apex-amp --img-size 224 -b 128

Change the --img-size from 224 to 384 or 448 for different image resolution, for example, to evaluate volo-d5 on 512 (87.1), run:

python3 validate.py /path/to/imagenet  --model volo_d5 \
  --checkpoint /path/to/volo_d5_512 --no-test-pool --apex-amp --img-size 512 -b 32

4. Train

As we use token labeling, please download the token labeling data in Google Drive or BaiDu Yun (password: y6j2), details about token labling are in here.

For each VOLO model, we first train it with image-size as 224 then finetune on image-size as 384 or 448/512:

train volo_d1 on 224 and finetune on 384 8 GPU, batch_size=1024, 19G GPU-memory in each GPU with apex-amp (mixed precision training)
