Model Card for davit_fl_base_florence-v2

A DaViT base image encoder from Microsoft's Florence-2 model, converted to the Birder format for image feature extraction. This version preserves the original vision backbone weights and architecture for downstream tasks.

See https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Florence-2-base for further details.

Model Usage

Image Embeddings

import birder
from birder.inference.classification import infer_image

# Option 1: manual setup (more control over preprocessing)
net, model_info = birder.load_pretrained_model("davit_fl_base_florence-v2", 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)

# Option 2: helper (quick start with default preprocessing)
net, model_info, transform = birder.load_pretrained_model_and_transform("davit_fl_base_florence-v2", inference=True)

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, transform = birder.load_pretrained_model_and_transform("davit_fl_base_florence-v2", inference=True)

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:
# [('stage1', torch.Size([1, 128, 192, 192])),
#  ('stage2', torch.Size([1, 256, 96, 96])),
#  ('stage3', torch.Size([1, 512, 48, 48])),
#  ('stage4', torch.Size([1, 1024, 24, 24]))]
