[**MambaVision: A Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Vision Backbone**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.08083).

## Model Overview

We introduce a novel mixer block by creating a symmetric path without SSM to enhance the modeling of global context. MambaVision has a hierarchical architecture that employs both self-attention and mixer blocks. 


## Model Performance

MambaVision demonstrates a strong performance by achieving a new SOTA Pareto-front in
terms of Top-1 accuracy and throughput.

## Model Usage

It is highly recommended to install the requirements for MambaVision by running the following:


```Bash
pip install mambavision
```

For each model, we offer two variants for image classification and feature extraction that can be imported with 1 line of code. 

### Image Classification

In the following example, we demonstrate how MambaVision can be used for image classification. 

Given the following image from [COCO dataset](https://cocodataset.org/#home)  val set as an input:

class="center">
</p>


The following snippet can be used for image classification:

```Python
from transformers import AutoModelForImageClassification
from PIL import Image
from timm.data.transforms_factory import create_transform
import requests

model = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained("nvidia/MambaVision-T2-1K", trust_remote_code=True)

# eval mode for inference
model.cuda().eval()

# prepare image for the model
url = 'http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000020247.jpg'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
input_resolution = (3, 224, 224)  # MambaVision supports any input resolutions

transform = create_transform(input_size=input_resolution,
                             is_training=False,
                             mean=model.config.mean,
                             std=model.config.std,
                             crop_mode=model.config.crop_mode,
                             crop_pct=model.config.crop_pct)

inputs = transform(image).unsqueeze(0).cuda()
# model inference
outputs = model(inputs)
logits = outputs['logits'] 
predicted_class_idx = logits.argmax(-1).item()
print("Predicted class:", model.config.id2label[predicted_class_idx])
```

The predicted label is brown bear, bruin, Ursus arctos.

### Feature Extraction

MambaVision can also be used as a generic feature extractor. 

Specifically, we can extract the outputs of each stage of model (4 stages) as well as the final averaged-pool features that are flattened. 

The following snippet can be used for feature extraction:

```Python
from transformers import AutoModel
from PIL import Image
from timm.data.transforms_factory import create_transform
import requests

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("nvidia/MambaVision-T2-1K", trust_remote_code=True)

# eval mode for inference
model.cuda().eval()

# prepare image for the model
url = 'http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000020247.jpg'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
input_resolution = (3, 224, 224)  # MambaVision supports any input resolutions

transform = create_transform(input_size=input_resolution,
                             is_training=False,
                             mean=model.config.mean,
                             std=model.config.std,
                             crop_mode=model.config.crop_mode,
                             crop_pct=model.config.crop_pct)
inputs = transform(image).unsqueeze(0).cuda()
# model inference
out_avg_pool, features = model(inputs)
print("Size of the averaged pool features:", out_avg_pool.size())  # torch.Size([1, 640])
print("Number of stages in extracted features:", len(features)) # 4 stages
print("Size of extracted features in stage 1:", features[0].size()) # torch.Size([1, 80, 56, 56])
print("Size of extracted features in stage 4:", features[3].size()) # torch.Size([1, 640, 7, 7])
```
