Vision Transformers (ViTs) are fundamentally challenging traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in the field of computer vision.
The computer vision landscape is undergoing a significant shift, akin to the AlexNet revolution of 2012, with ViTs disrupting conventional visual information processing.
Extensive benchmarks and recent literature indicate surprising results, revealing ViTs as potential winners over CNNs, impacting future computer vision projects.
A company's image classification pipeline redesign highlighted ViTs from Google's latest research as a viable alternative to CNNs, prompting a rethink in approaching computer vision tasks.
