# Vision Transformer (large-sized model)
Vision Transformer (ViT) model pre-trained on ImageNet-21k (14 million images, 21,843 classes) at resolution 384x384. It was introduced in the paper [An Image is Worth 16x16 Words: Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.11929) by Dosovitskiy et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/google-research/vision_transformer). However, this model is contributed by the Kakao Brain team and the weights were converted from their TensorFlow implementation to PyTorch by Alara Dirik.
## Model description
The Vision Transformer (ViT) is a transformer encoder model (BERT-like) pretrained on a large collection of images in a supervised fashion, namely ImageNet-21k, at a resolution of 224x224 pixels.
Images are presented to the model as a sequence of fixed-size patches (resolution 32x32), which are linearly embedded. One also adds a [CLS] token to the beginning of a sequence to use it for classification tasks. One also adds absolute position embeddings before feeding the sequence to the layers of the Transformer encoder.
Note that this model does not provide any fine-tuned heads, as these were zero'd by Google researchers. However, the model does include the pre-trained pooler, which can be used for downstream tasks (such as image classification).
By pre-training the model, it learns an inner representation of images that can then be used to extract features useful for downstream tasks: if you have a dataset of labeled images for instance, you can train a standard classifier by placing a linear layer on top of the pre-trained encoder. One typically places a linear layer on top of the [CLS] token, as the last hidden state of this token can be seen as a representation of an entire image.
## Intended uses & limitations
You can use the raw model for image classification. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=google/vit) to look for
fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
### How to use
Here is how to use this model in PyTorch:
```python
from transformers import ViTImageProcessor, ViTModel
from PIL import Image
import requests
url = 'http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
processor = ViTImageProcessor.from_pretrained('kakaobrain/vit-large-patch16-384')
model = ViTModel.from_pretrained('kakaobrain/vit-large-patch16-384')
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
last_hidden_state = outputs.last_hidden_state
```
Refer to the [docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/vit) for usage in TensorFlow and JAX/FLAX.
## Training data
The ViT model was pretrained on [ImageNet-21k](http://www.image-net.org/), a dataset consisting of 14 million images and 21k classes.
## Training procedure
### Preprocessing
The exact details of preprocessing of images during training/validation can be found [here](https://github.com/google-research/vision_transformer/blob/master/vit_jax/input_pipeline.py).
Images are resized/rescaled to the same resolution (384x384) and normalized across the RGB channels with mean (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) and standard deviation (0.5, 0.5, 0.5).
