PyTorch implementation and pretrained models for DINOv2. For details, see the paper: DINOv2: Learning Robust Visual Features without Supervision.
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.

Pretrained backbones (via PyTorch Hub)
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 dinov2pip - Clone the repository and then use the provided requirements.txt to install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtFor 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-extraspip:
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-extras.txtData 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.
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.

--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.
