Exploring Deformable Convolution-Based Large-Scale Visual Foundation Models

Core components of this framework include a deformable convolution-based genarel visual backbone InternImage, the M3I-Pretraining self-supervised/semi-supervised training algorithm, the Uni-Perceiver universal decoder family, and the BEVFormer autonomous driving perception encoder suite.

Key Highlights

  1. A 3-billion-parameter InternImage-G as the top-performing open-source general-purpose visual backbone
  2. 90.1% Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K, leading all publicly available models
  3. 65.5 mAP on COCO object detection, the only open-source model surpassing the 65 mAP threshold
