DEtection Transformer (DETR) model trained end-to-end on COCO 2017 object detection (118k annotated images). It was introduced in the paper [End-to-End Object Detection with Transformers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.12872) by Carion et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/detr).
You can use the raw model for object detection. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=facebook/detr) to look for all available DETR models.
### How to use
Here is how to use this model:
```python
from transformers import ViTFeatureExtractor, ViTModel
Currently, both the feature extractor and model support PyTorch.
## Training data
The DETR model was trained on [COCO 2017 object detection](https://cocodataset.org/#download), a dataset consisting of 118k/5k annotated images for training/validation respectively.
## Training procedure
### Preprocessing
The exact details of preprocessing of images during training/validation can be found [here](https://github.com/google-research/vision_transformer/blob/master/vit_jax/input_pipeline.py).
Images are resized/rescaled such that the shortest side is at least 800 pixels and the largest side at most 1333 pixels, and normalized across the RGB channels with the ImageNet mean (0.485, 0.456, 0.406) and standard deviation (0.229, 0.224, 0.225).
### Training
The model was trained for 300 epochs on 16 V100 GPUs. This takes 3 days, with 4 images per GPU (hence a total batch size of 64).
## Evaluation results
This model achieves an AP (average precision) of 42.0 on COCO 2017 validation. For more details regarding evaluation results, we refer to table 1 of the original paper.
