Introduction

InternImage is an advanced vision foundation model developed by researchers from Shanghai AI Laboratory, Tsinghua University, and other institutions. Unlike models based on Transformers, InternImage employs DCNv3 as its core operator. This approach equips the model with dynamic and effective receptive fields required for downstream tasks like object detection and segmentation, while enabling adaptive spatial aggregation.

Some other projects related to InternImage include the pretraining algorithm "M3I-Pretraining," the general-purpose decoder series "Uni-Perceiver," and the autonomous driving perception encoder series "BEVFormer."

Performance

• InternImage achieved an impressive Top-1 accuracy of 90.1% on the ImageNet benchmark dataset using only publicly available data for image classification. Apart from two undisclosed models trained with additional datasets by Google and Microsoft, InternImage is the only open-source model that achieves a Top-1 accuracy of over 90.0%, and it is also the largest model in scale worldwide.
• InternImage outperformed all other models worldwide on the COCO object detection benchmark dataset with a remarkable mAP of 65.5, making it the only model that surpasses 65 mAP in the world.
• InternImage also demonstrated world's best performance on 16 other important visual benchmark datasets, covering a wide range of tasks such as classification, detection, and segmentation, making it the top-performing model across multiple domains.
