Vision Transformers: Seeing Beyond Convolutional Horizons
The world of computer vision has been revolutionized in recent years, and at the forefront of this transformation stands the Vision Transformer (ViT). Departing from the traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs), ViTs leverage the transformer architecture, originally designed for natural language processing (NLP), to achieve state-of-the-art results in image recognition and other vision tasks. This blog post will delve into the intricacies of Vision Transformers, exploring their architecture, advantages, and how they're reshaping the landscape of computer vision.
What are Vision Transformers?
The Shift from CNNs to Transformers
For years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) were the dominant architecture for image processing. CNNs excel at capturing local patterns and spatial hiera...
