qiji-font
Typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books
Typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books. A Ming typeface. Extracted from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books (凌閔刻本). Using semi-automatic computer vision and OCR. Open-source. A work in progress. Named in honor of 閔齊伋, a 16th-century printer. Intended to be used with Kenyan-lang, the Classical Chinese programming language. Download high-resolution PDFs and split pages into images. Manually lay a grid on top of each page to generate bounding boxes for characters (potentially replaceable by an automatic corner-detection algorithm). Generate a low-poly mask for each character on the grid, and save the thumbnails (using OpenCV). First, red channel is subtracted from the grayscale, in order to clean the annotations printed in red ink. Next, the image is thresholded and fed into the contour-tracing algorithm. A metric is then used to discard shapes that are unlikely to be part of the character in interest. -

Vision Transformer Pytorch
Implementation of Vision Transformer, a simple way to achieve SOTA
This repository provides a from-scratch, minimalist implementation of the Vision Transformer (ViT) in PyTorch, focusing on the core architectural pieces needed for image classification. It breaks down the model into patch embedding, positional encoding, multi-head self-attention, feed-forward blocks, and a classification head so you can understand each component in isolation. The code is intentionally compact and modular, which makes it easy to tinker with hyperparameters, depth, width, and attention dimensions. Because it stays close to vanilla PyTorch, you can integrate custom datasets and training loops without framework lock-in. It’s widely used as an educational reference for people learning transformers in vision and as a lightweight baseline for research prototypes. The project encourages experimentation—swap optimizers, change augmentations, or plug the transformer backbone into downstream tasks. -

fastai
Deep learning library
fastai is a deep learning library which provides practitioners with high-level components that can quickly and easily provide state-of-the-art results in standard deep learning domains, and provides researchers with low-level components that can be mixed and matched to build new approaches. It aims to do both things without substantial compromises in ease of use, flexibility, or performance. This is possible thanks to a carefully layered architecture, which expresses common underlying patterns of many deep learning and data processing techniques in terms of decoupled abstractions. These abstractions can be expressed concisely and clearly by leveraging the dynamism of the underlying Python language and the flexibility of the PyTorch library. fastai is organized around two main design goals: to be approachable and rapidly productive, while also being deeply hackable and configurable. It is built on top of a hierarchy of lower-level APIs which provide composable building blocks. -

DensePose
A real-time approach for mapping all human pixels of 2D RGB images
DensePose is a computer vision system that maps all human pixels in an RGB image to the 3D surface of a human body model. It extends human pose estimation from predicting joint keypoints to providing dense correspondences between 2D images and a canonical 3D mesh (such as the SMPL model). This enables detailed understanding of human shape, motion, and surface appearance directly from images or videos. The repository includes the DensePose network architecture, training code, pretrained models, and dataset tools for annotation and visualization. DensePose is widely used in augmented reality, motion capture, virtual try-on, and visual effects applications because it enables real-time 3D human mapping from 2D inputs. The model architecture builds on Mask R-CNN, using additional regression heads to predict UV coordinates that map image pixels to 3D surfaces. -

PIFuHD
High-Resolution 3D Human Digitization from A Single Image
PIFuHD (Pixel-Aligned Implicit Function for 3D human reconstruction at high resolution) is a method and codebase to reconstruct high-fidelity 3D human meshes from a single image. It extends prior PIFu work by increasing resolution and detail, enabling fine geometry in cloth folds, hair, and subtle surface features. The method operates by learning an implicit occupancy / surface function conditioned on the image and camera projection; at inference time it queries dense points to reconstruct a mesh via marching cubes. It also uses a two-stage architecture: a coarse global model followed by local refinement patches to capture fine detail, balancing global consistency and local detail. The repo includes training pipelines, dataset loaders (for Multi-POP, etc.), and inference scripts for mesh output including depth maps for postprocessing. To help practical use, there are utilities for normal estimation, texture back-projection, mesh cleanup, and integration with rendering pipelines. -

Colossal-AI
Making large AI models cheaper, faster and more accessible
The Transformer architecture has improved the performance of deep learning models in domains such as Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Together with better performance come larger model sizes. This imposes challenges to the memory wall of the current accelerator hardware such as GPU. It is never ideal to train large models such as Vision Transformer, BERT, and GPT on a single GPU or a single machine. There is an urgent demand to train models in a distributed environment. However, distributed training, especially model parallelism, often requires domain expertise in computer systems and architecture. It remains a challenge for AI researchers to implement complex distributed training solutions for their models. Colossal-AI provides a collection of parallel components for you. We aim to support you to write your distributed deep learning models just like how you write your model on your laptop. -

Kornia
Open Source Differentiable Computer Vision Library
Kornia is a differentiable computer vision library for PyTorch. It consists of a set of routines and differentiable modules to solve generic computer vision problems. At its core, the package uses PyTorch as its main backend both for efficiency and to take advantage of the reverse-mode auto-differentiation to define and compute the gradient of complex functions. Inspired by existing packages, this library is composed by a subset of packages containing operators that can be inserted within neural networks to train models to perform image transformations, epipolar geometry, depth estimation, and low-level image processing such as filtering and edge detection that operate directly on tensors. With Kornia we fill the gap between classical and deep computer vision that implements standard and advanced vision algorithms for AI. Our libraries and initiatives are always according to the community needs. -

ChainerCV
ChainerCV: a Library for Deep Learning in Computer Vision
ChainerCV is a collection of tools to train and run neural networks for computer vision tasks using Chainer. In ChainerCV, we define the object detection task as a problem of, given an image, bounding box-based localization and categorization of objects. Bounding boxes in an image are represented as a two-dimensional array of shape (R,4), where R is the number of bounding boxes and the second axis corresponds to the coordinates of bounding boxes. ChainerCV supports dataset loaders, which can be used to easily index examples with list-like interfaces. Dataset classes whose names end with BboxDataset contain annotations of where objects locate in an image and which categories they are assigned to. These datasets can be indexed to return a tuple of an image, bounding boxes and labels. ChainerCV provides several network implementations that carry out object detection. -

CoTracker
CoTracker is a model for tracking any point (pixel) on a video
CoTracker is a learning-based point tracking system that jointly follows many user-specified points across a video, rather than tracking each point independently. By reasoning about all tracks together, it can maintain temporal consistency, handle mutual occlusions, and reduce identity swaps when trajectories cross. The model takes sparse point queries on one frame and predicts their sub-pixel locations and a visibility score for every subsequent frame, producing long, coherent trajectories. Its transformer-style architecture aggregates information both along time and across points, allowing it to recover tracks even after brief disappearances. The repository ships with inference scripts, pretrained weights, and simple interfaces to seed points, run tracking, and export trajectories for downstream tasks. Typical uses include correspondence building, motion analysis, dynamic SLAM priors, video editing masks, and evaluation of geometric consistency in real scenes. -

ConvNeXt
Code release for ConvNeXt model
ConvNeXt is a modernized convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed to rival Vision Transformers (ViTs) in accuracy and scalability while retaining the simplicity and efficiency of CNNs. It revisits classic ResNet-style backbones through the lens of transformer design trends—large kernel sizes, inverted bottlenecks, layer normalization, and GELU activations—to bridge the performance gap between convolutions and attention-based models. ConvNeXt’s clean, hierarchical structure makes it efficient for both pretraining and fine-tuning across a wide range of visual recognition tasks. It achieves competitive or superior results on ImageNet and downstream datasets while being easier to deploy and train than transformers. The repository provides pretrained models, training recipes, and ablation studies demonstrating how incremental design choices collectively yield state-of-the-art performance. -

DETR
End-to-end object detection with transformers
PyTorch training code and pretrained models for DETR (DEtection TRansformer). We replace the full complex hand-crafted object detection pipeline with a Transformer, and match Faster R-CNN with a ResNet-50, obtaining 42 AP on COCO using half the computation power (FLOPs) and the same number of parameters. Inference in 50 lines of PyTorch. What it is. Unlike traditional computer vision techniques, DETR approaches object detection as a direct set prediction problem. It consists of a set-based global loss, which forces unique predictions via bipartite matching, and a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture. Given a fixed small set of learned object queries, DETR reasons about the relations of the objects and the global image context to directly output the final set of predictions in parallel. Due to this parallel nature, DETR is very fast and efficient.
