+# DEIMv2
+
+
+
+## Overview
+
+DEIMv2 is a real‑time object detection architecture built on DINOv3 features, introducing a Spatial Tuning Adapter (STA) to convert single‑scale ViT features into a lightweight multi‑scale pyramid, a simplified decoder, and an upgraded Dense one‑to‑one matching strategy. [web:16][web:6]
+
+This integration uses the AutoBackbone API so DINO‑family backbones can be reused without re‑implementation in the detection head; the initial release targets DINOv3/ViT backbones, with tiny HGNetv2 variants planned as follow‑ups. [web:17][web:28]
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The smallest working example below shows how to run inference and obtain boxes, scores, and labels from post‑processing. [web:25][web:28]

+## Model notes
+
+- Backbone via AutoBackbone: loads DINOv3/ViT variants and exposes feature maps to the DEIMv2 head. [web:17][web:28]
+- Spatial Tuning Adapter: transforms single‑scale features into a multi‑scale pyramid for accurate localization with minimal overhead. [web:16][web:6]
+- Decoder and Dense O2O: streamlined decoder with one‑to‑one assignment for stable training and real‑time throughput. [web:16][web:6]
+
+## Expected inputs and outputs
+
+- Inputs: `pixel_values` shaped \(B \times 3 \times H \times W\), produced by `Deimv2ImageProcessor.preprocess`. [web:43][web:25]
+- Outputs: class `logits` \(B \times Q \times C\) and normalized `pred_boxes` \(B \times Q \times 4\); use `post_process_object_detection` to filter and convert to absolute coordinates. [web:43][web:28]
+
+## Configuration
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2Config
+ - init
+
+This configuration defines backbone settings, query count, decoder depth, and STA parameters, and sets `model_type="deimv2"`. [web:28][web:44]
+
+## Base model
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2Model
+ - forward
+
+This module wires the backbone to STA and the decoder, returning decoder hidden states for the detection head. [web:28][web:17]
+
+## Task head
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2ForObjectDetection
+ - forward
+
+This head predicts class logits and normalized bounding boxes for a fixed set of queries. [web:25][web:28]
+
+## Image Processor
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2ImageProcessor
+ - preprocess
+ - post_process_object_detection
+
+Handles resizing, normalization, batching, and conversion of model outputs to boxes, scores, and labels. [web:43][web:25]
+

+- Official repository and model zoo for reference implementations and weights. [web:3][web:12]
+- AutoBackbone documentation for reusing vision backbones. [web:17][web:28]
