What is dinov2-with-registers-giant?
DINOv2 with Registers Giant is an advanced Vision Transformer model that introduces a novel concept of "register" tokens during pre-training to address attention map artifacts in traditional ViTs. This giant-sized model builds upon the successful DINOv2 architecture by implementing additional tokens that are used during pre-training and discarded afterward, resulting in cleaner attention maps and improved overall performance.
Implementation Details
The model operates as a transformer encoder, similar to BERT, but specialized for computer vision tasks. It implements self-supervised learning techniques to extract meaningful features from images without requiring labeled data. The key innovation lies in its register token system, which resolves traditional ViT attention artifacts while maintaining high performance.
