Patch Embedding实现细节Patch embedding是将图像转换为token序列的关键步骤。CrossViT的两个分支需要不同的embedding实现import torch import torch.nn as nn class PatchEmbed(nn.Module): def __init__(self, img_size224, patch_size16, in_chans3, embed_dim768): super().__init__() self.img_size img_size self.patch_size patch_size self.n_patches (img_size // patch_size) ** 2 self.proj nn.Conv2d( in_chans, embed_dim, kernel_sizepatch_size, stridepatch_size ) def forward(self, x): x self.proj(x) #
