+# Model Overview
+
+
+[[**Github**](https://github.com/NVlabs/RADIO)]  [[**CVPR 2025**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.07679)]  [[**CVPR 2024**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.06709)]
+
+
+## Description
+
+This model performs visual feature extraction.
+For instance, RADIO generates image embeddings that can be used by a downstream model to classify images.
+
+C-RADIOv2 models are available in multiple sizes:
+* Base (90M parameters).
+* Large (320M parameters).
+* Huge (653M parameters).
+* Gigantic (1.1B parameters).
+
+C-RADIOv2 was trained for 1M steps (400k more steps than v1), using inverse frequency sampling for data balancing, and [PHI Standardization](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.01680) for teacher distribution balancing.
+
+This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
+

+
+## Usage:
+
+RADIO will return a tuple with two tensors.
+The `summary` is similar to the `cls_token` in ViT and is meant to represent the general concept of the entire image.
+It has shape `(B,C)` with `B` being the batch dimension, and `C` being some number of channels.
+The `spatial_features` represent more localized content which should be suitable for dense tasks such as semantic segmentation, or for integration into an LLM.
+
+```python
+import torch
+from PIL import Image
+from transformers import AutoModel, CLIPImageProcessor
+
+hf_repo = "nvidia/C-RADIOv2-L"
+
+image_processor = CLIPImageProcessor.from_pretrained(hf_repo)
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(hf_repo, trust_remote_code=True)
+model.eval().cuda()
+
+image = Image.open('./assets/radio.png').convert('RGB')
+pixel_values = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors='pt', do_resize=True).pixel_values
+pixel_values = pixel_values.cuda()
+
+summary, features = model(pixel_values)
+```
+
+Spatial features have shape `(B,T,D)` with `T` being the flattened spatial tokens, and `D` being the channels for spatial features. Note that `C!=D` in general.
+Converting to a spatial tensor format can be done using the downsampling size of the model, combined with the input tensor shape. For RADIO, the patch size is 16.
+
+```Python
+from einops import rearrange
+spatial_features = rearrange(spatial_features, 'b (h w) d -> b d h w', h=x.shape[-2] // patch_size, w=x.shape[-1] // patch_size)
+```
+
+The resulting tensor will have shape `(B,D,H,W)`, as is typically seen with computer vision models.

Domain-specific evaluation is required for the target application.
