We present CSWin Transformer, an efficient and effective Transformer-based backbone for general-purpose vision tasks. A challenging issue in Transformer design is that global self-attention is very expensive to compute whereas local self-attention often limits the field of interactions of each token. To address this issue, we develop the Cross-Shaped Window self-attention mechanism for computing self-attention in the horizontal and vertical stripes in parallel that form a cross-shaped window, with each stripe obtained by splitting the input feature into stripes of equal width. We provide a detailed mathematical analysis of the effect of the stripe width and vary the stripe width for different layers of the Transformer network which achieves strong modeling capability while limiting the computation cost. We also introduce Locally-enhanced Positional Encoding (LePE), which handles the local positional information better than existing encoding schemes. LePE naturally supports arbitrary input resolutions, and is thus especially effective and friendly for downstream tasks. Incorporated with these designs and a hierarchical structure, CSWin Transformer demonstrates competitive performance on common vision tasks. Specifically, it achieves 85.4% Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K without any extra training data or label, 53.9 box AP and 46.4 mask AP on the COCO detection task, and 51.7 mIOU on the ADE20K semantic segmentation task, surpassing previous state-of-the-art Swin Transformer backbone by +1.2, +2.0, +1.4, and +2.0 respectively under the similar FLOPs setting. By further pretraining on the larger dataset ImageNet-21K, we achieve 87.5% Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K and state-of-the-art segmentation performance on ADE20K with 55.7 mIoU. The code and models will be available at https://github.com/microsoft/CSWin-Transformer.

Transformers have made much progress in dealing with visual tasks. However, existing vision transformers still do not possess an ability that is important to visual input: building the attention among features of different scales. The reasons for thi
s problem are two-fold: (1) Input embeddings of each layer are equal-scale without cross-scale features; (2) Some vision transformers sacrifice the small-scale features of embeddings to lower the cost of the self-attention module. To make up this defect, we propose Cross-scale Embedding Layer (CEL) and Long Short Distance Attention (LSDA). In particular, CEL blends each embedding with multiple patches of different scales, providing the model with cross-scale embeddings. LSDA splits the self-attention module into a short-distance and long-distance one, also lowering the cost but keeping both small-scale and large-scale features in embeddings. Through these two designs, we achieve cross-scale attention. Besides, we propose dynamic position bias for vision transformers to make the popular relative position bias apply to variable-sized images. Based on these proposed modules, we construct our vision architecture called CrossFormer. Experiments show that CrossFormer outperforms other transformers on several representative visual tasks, especially object detection and segmentation. The code has been released: https://github.com/cheerss/CrossFormer.
Although using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as backbones achieves great successes in computer vision, this work investigates a simple backbone network useful for many dense prediction tasks without convolutions. Unlike the recently-proposed T
ransformer model (e.g., ViT) that is specially designed for image classification, we propose Pyramid Vision Transformer~(PVT), which overcomes the difficulties of porting Transformer to various dense prediction tasks. PVT has several merits compared to prior arts. (1) Different from ViT that typically has low-resolution outputs and high computational and memory cost, PVT can be not only trained on dense partitions of the image to achieve high output resolution, which is important for dense predictions but also using a progressive shrinking pyramid to reduce computations of large feature maps. (2) PVT inherits the advantages from both CNN and Transformer, making it a unified backbone in various vision tasks without convolutions by simply replacing CNN backbones. (3) We validate PVT by conducting extensive experiments, showing that it boosts the performance of many downstream tasks, e.g., object detection, semantic, and instance segmentation. For example, with a comparable number of parameters, RetinaNet+PVT achieves 40.4 AP on the COCO dataset, surpassing RetinNet+ResNet50 (36.3 AP) by 4.1 absolute AP. We hope PVT could serve as an alternative and useful backbone for pixel-level predictions and facilitate future researches. Code is available at https://github.com/whai362/PVT.
Since Transformer has found widespread use in NLP, the potential of Transformer in CV has been realized and has inspired many new approaches. However, the computation required for replacing word tokens with image patches for Transformer after the tok
enization of the image is vast(e.g., ViT), which bottlenecks model training and inference. In this paper, we propose a new attention mechanism in Transformer termed Cross Attention, which alternates attention inner the image patch instead of the whole image to capture local information and apply attention between image patches which are divided from single-channel feature maps capture global information. Both operations have less computation than standard self-attention in Transformer. By alternately applying attention inner patch and between patches, we implement cross attention to maintain the performance with lower computational cost and build a hierarchical network called Cross Attention Transformer(CAT) for other vision tasks. Our base model achieves state-of-the-arts on ImageNet-1K, and improves the performance of other methods on COCO and ADE20K, illustrating that our network has the potential to serve as general backbones.

Recently, transformers have shown great superiority in solving computer vision tasks by modeling images as a sequence of manually-split patches with self-attention mechanism. However, current architectures of vision transformers (ViTs) are simply inh
erited from natural language processing (NLP) tasks and have not been sufficiently investigated and optimized. In this paper, we make a further step by examining the intrinsic structure of transformers for vision tasks and propose an architecture search method, dubbed ViTAS, to search for the optimal architecture with similar hardware budgets. Concretely, we design a new effective yet efficient weight sharing paradigm for ViTs, such that architectures with different token embedding, sequence size, number of heads, width, and depth can be derived from a single super-transformer. Moreover, to cater for the variance of distinct architectures, we introduce textit{private} class token and self-attention maps in the super-transformer. In addition, to adapt the searching for different budgets, we propose to search the sampling probability of identity operation. Experimental results show that our ViTAS attains excellent results compared to existing pure transformer architectures. For example, with $1.3$G FLOPs budget, our searched architecture achieves $74.7%$ top-$1$ accuracy on ImageNet and is $2.5%$ superior than the current baseline ViT architecture. Code is available at url{https://github.com/xiusu/ViTAS}.
In this paper, we present Uformer, an effective and efficient Transformer-based architecture, in which we build a hierarchical encoder-decoder network using the Transformer block for image restoration. Uformer has two core designs to make it suitable
for this task. The first key element is a local-enhanced window Transformer block, where we use non-overlapping window-based self-attention to reduce the computational requirement and employ the depth-wise convolution in the feed-forward network to further improve its potential for capturing local context. The second key element is that we explore three skip-connection schemes to effectively deliver information from the encoder to the decoder. Powered by these two designs, Uformer enjoys a high capability for capturing useful dependencies for image restoration. Extensive experiments on several image restoration tasks demonstrate the superiority of Uformer, including image denoising, deraining, deblurring and demoireing. We expect that our work will encourage further research to explore Transformer-based architectures for low-level vision tasks. The code and models will be available at https://github.com/ZhendongWang6/Uformer.
