Practical overview
When it fits
Use the repository when you need a compact PyTorch example of configuring CrossViT and obtaining class outputs from an image tensor.
Who it is for
- PyTorch developers exploring vision-transformer image classification.
- Computer-vision practitioners adapting a classifier example to a specified image size, channel count and class count.
- Researchers seeking an implementation to inspect alongside the CrossViT research work.
Documented uses
- Configure a CrossViT model for image dimensions, channels and a chosen number of classes.
- Pass an image tensor through the model and inspect class-output dimensions.
- Study an unofficial PyTorch implementation of a multi-scale, cross-attention vision transformer.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and lists an MIT license.
- The README's demonstrated input is a tensor shaped
[1, 3, 224, 224]; configure model parameters to match your intended input. - The example sets
num_classesexplicitly and documents outputs shaped[B, num_classes]. - The repository describes itself as unofficial and acknowledges use of base ViT code from lucidrains’ vit-pytorch.
- The README focuses on model invocation rather than data preparation, training or evaluation.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Pass an image tensor through CrossViT
Configure the documented example model and obtain its class-output tensor.
Before you start
- PyTorch (
torch) - The repository module importable as
crossvit - An image tensor matching the configured image size and channel count
Steps
Import
torchandCrossViTfromcrossvit.Create an input tensor, as in the example, with shape
[1, 3, 224, 224].Instantiate
CrossViTwithimage_size=224,channels=3, and the desirednum_classes(the example uses 100).Call the model with the tensor and inspect the output, documented as shape
[B, num_classes].
Expected outcome
A tensor of class outputs for the input batch.
Guide limitations
- The README demonstrates a constructed tensor, not an image-loading, training, or evaluation workflow.
- The example does not document installation instructions or model-weight loading.
