Vision Transformers: Beyond Convolution, Towards Holistic Image Understanding
The world of computer vision is constantly evolving, and one of the most exciting recent developments is the rise of Vision Transformers (ViTs). For years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have reigned supreme, but ViTs offer a fresh approach, drawing inspiration from the success of transformers in natural language processing (NLP). This blog post will delve into the intricacies of Vision Transformers, exploring their architecture, advantages, and potential applications in the field of image recognition and beyond.
Understanding Vision Transformers
Vision Transformers represent a paradigm shift in how we approach image recognition tasks. Instead of relying on convolutional layers to extract features, ViTs treat images as sequences of patches and leverage the transformer architecture, w...
