YOLOS
This model was released on 2021-06-01 and added to Hugging Face Transformers on 2022-05-02.
YOLOS
YOLOS uses a Vision Transformer (ViT) for object detection with minimal modifications and region priors. It can achieve performance comparable to specialized object detection models and frameworks with knowledge about 2D spatial structures.
You can find all the original YOLOS checkpoints under the HUST Vision Lab organization.
YOLOS architecture. Taken from the original paper. This model wasa contributed by nielsr. Click on the YOLOS models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply YOLOS to different object detection tasks.
The example below demonstrates how to detect objects with Pipeline or the AutoModel class.
import torch
from transformers import pipeline
detector = pipeline(
task="object-detection",
model="hustvl/yolos-base",
dtype=torch.float16,
device=0
)
detector("https://huggingface.co/datasets/Narsil/image_dummy/raw/main/parrots.png")Notes
- Use YolosImageProcessor for preparing images (and optional targets) for the model. Contrary to DETR, YOLOS doesn’t require a
pixel_mask.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a YolosModel. It is used to instantiate a Yolos model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the hustvl/yolos-base
Configuration objects inherit from PreTrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PreTrainedConfig for more information.
Example:
>>> from transformers import YolosConfig, YolosModel
>>> # Initializing a YOLOS hustvl/yolos-base style configuration
>>> configuration = YolosConfig()
>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the hustvl/yolos-base style configuration
>>> model = YolosModel(configuration)
>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.configYolosImageProcessor

The bare Yolos Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.
