PyTorch implementation and pretrained models for DINOv2. For details, see the papers: DINOv2: Learning Robust Visual Features without Supervision and Vision Transformers Need Registers.

DINOv2 models produce high-performance visual features that can be directly employed with classifiers as simple as linear layers on a variety of computer vision tasks; these visual features are robust and perform well across domains without any requirement for fine-tuning. The models were pretrained on a dataset of 142 M images without using any labels or annotations.

Please follow the instructions here to install PyTorch (the only required dependency for loading the model). Installing PyTorch with CUDA support is strongly recommended.

A corresponding model card is included in the repository.

Installation

The training and evaluation code requires PyTorch 2.0 and xFormers 0.0.18 as well as a number of other 3rd party packages. Note that the code has only been tested with the specified versions and also expects a Linux environment. To setup all the required dependencies for training and evaluation, please follow the instructions below:

conda (Recommended) - Clone the repository and then create and activate a dinov2 conda environment using the provided environment definition:

conda env create -f conda.yaml
conda activate dinov2

pip - Clone the repository and then use the provided requirements.txt to install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

For dense tasks (depth estimation and semantic segmentation), there are additional dependencies (specific versions of mmcv and mmsegmentation) which are captured in the extras dependency specifications:

conda (Recommended):

conda env create -f conda-extras.yaml
conda activate dinov2-extras

pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-extras.txt

Data preparation

ImageNet-1k

The root directory of the dataset should hold the following contents:

<ROOT>/test/ILSVRC2012_test_00000001.JPEG
<ROOT>/test/[..]
<ROOT>/test/ILSVRC2012_test_00100000.JPEG
<ROOT>/train/n01440764/n01440764_10026.JPEG
<ROOT>/train/[...]
<ROOT>/train/n15075141/n15075141_9993.JPEG
<ROOT>/val/n01440764/ILSVRC2012_val_00000293.JPEG
<ROOT>/val/[...]
<ROOT>/val/n15075141/ILSVRC2012_val_00049174.JPEG
<ROOT>/labels.txt

The provided dataset implementation expects a few additional metadata files to be present under the extra directory:

<EXTRA>/class-ids-TRAIN.npy
<EXTRA>/class-ids-VAL.npy
<EXTRA>/class-names-TRAIN.npy
<EXTRA>/class-names-VAL.npy
<EXTRA>/entries-TEST.npy
<EXTRA>/entries-TRAIN.npy
<EXTRA>/entries-VAL.npy

These metadata files can be generated (once) with the following lines of Python code:

from dinov2.data.datasets import ImageNet

for split in ImageNet.Split:
    dataset = ImageNet(split=split, root="<ROOT>", extra="<EXTRA>")
    dataset.dump_extra()

Note that the root and extra directories do not have to be distinct directories.

ImageNet-22k

Please adapt the dataset class to match your local setup.

⚠️ To execute the commands provided in the next sections for training and evaluation, the dinov2 package should be included in the Python module search path, i.e. simply prefix the command to run with PYTHONPATH=..

Training

Fast setup: training DINOv2 ViT-L/16 on ImageNet-1k

Run DINOv2 training on 4 A100-80GB nodes (32 GPUs) in a SLURM cluster environment with submitit:

python dinov2/run/train/train.py \
    --nodes 4 \
    --config-file dinov2/configs/train/vitl16_short.yaml \
    --output-dir <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR> \
    train.dataset_path=ImageNet:split=TRAIN:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET>

Training time is approximately 1 day and the resulting checkpoint should reach 81.6% on k-NN eval and 82.9% on linear eval.

The training code saves the weights of the teacher in the eval folder every 12500 iterations for evaluation.

Long setup: training DINOv2 ViT-L/14 on ImageNet-22k

Run DINOv2 training on 12 A100-80GB nodes (96 GPUs) in a SLURM cluster environment with submitit:

python dinov2/run/train/train.py \
    --nodes 12 \
    --config-file dinov2/configs/train/vitl14.yaml \
    --output-dir <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR> \
    train.dataset_path=ImageNet22k:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET>

Training time is approximately 3.3 days and the resulting checkpoint should reach 82.0% on k-NN eval and 84.5% on linear eval.

The training code saves the weights of the teacher in the eval folder every 12500 iterations for evaluation.

Evaluation

The training code regularly saves the teacher weights. In order to evaluate the model, run the following evaluation on a single node:

k-NN classification on ImageNet-1k

python dinov2/run/eval/knn.py \
    --config-file <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/config.yaml \
    --pretrained-weights <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/eval/training_24999/teacher_checkpoint.pth \
    --output-dir <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/eval/training_24999/knn \
    --train-dataset ImageNet:split=TRAIN:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET> \
    --val-dataset ImageNet:split=VAL:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET>

Logistic regression classification on ImageNet-1k

python dinov2/run/eval/log_regression.py \
    --config-file <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/config.yaml \
    --pretrained-weights <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/eval/training_24999/teacher_checkpoint.pth \
    --output-dir <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/eval/training_24999/logreg \
    --train-dataset ImageNet:split=TRAIN:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET> \
    --val-dataset ImageNet:split=VAL:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET>

Linear classification with data augmentation on ImageNet-1k

python dinov2/run/eval/linear.py \
    --config-file <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/config.yaml \
    --pretrained-weights <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/eval/training_24999/teacher_checkpoint.pth \
    --output-dir <PATH/TO/OUTPUT/DIR>/eval/training_24999/linear \
    --train-dataset ImageNet:split=TRAIN:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET> \
    --val-dataset ImageNet:split=VAL:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET>

We release the weights from evaluating the different models:

model	with registers	ImageNet top-1	linear evaluation
ViT-S/14 distilled	❌	81.1%	linear head weights
ViT-S/14 distilled	✅	80.8%	linear head weights
ViT-B/14 distilled	❌	84.5%	linear head weights
ViT-B/14 distilled	✅	84.4%	linear head weights
ViT-L/14 distilled	❌	86.3%	linear head weights
ViT-L/14 distilled	✅	86.5%	linear head weights
ViT-g/14	❌	86.5%	linear head weights
ViT-g/14	✅	87.0%	linear head weights

The performance of the provided pretrained model weights can be evaluated as follows on ImageNet-1k:

python dinov2/run/eval/linear.py \
    --config-file dinov2/configs/eval/vitg14_pretrain.yaml \
    --pretrained-weights https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/dinov2/dinov2_vitg14/dinov2_vitg14_pretrain.pth \
    --train-dataset ImageNet:split=TRAIN:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET> \
    --val-dataset ImageNet:split=VAL:root=<PATH/TO/DATASET>:extra=<PATH/TO/DATASET>
