What DINO saw: ALiBi positional encoding reduces positional bias in Vision Transformers

Moritz Pawlowsky, Antonis Vamvakeros, Alexander Weiss +3

Vision transformers (ViTs) - especially feature foundation models like DINOv2 - learn rich representations useful for many downstream tasks. However, architectural choices (such as…

Maybe you don't need a U-Net: convolutional feature upsampling for materials micrograph segmentation

Ronan Docherty, Antonis Vamvakeros, Samuel J. Cooper

Feature foundation models - usually vision transformers - offer rich semantic descriptors of images, useful for downstream tasks such as (interactive) segmentation and object detec…

Upsampling DINOv2 features for unsupervised vision tasks and weakly supervised materials segmentation

Ronan Docherty, Antonis Vamvakeros, Samuel J. Cooper

The features of self-supervised vision transformers (ViTs) contain strong semantic and positional information relevant to downstream tasks like object localization and segmentation…

Prediction of microstructural representativity from a single image

Amir Dahari, Ronan Docherty, Steve Kench +1

In this study, we present a method for predicting the representativity of the phase fraction observed in a single image (2D or 3D) of a material. Traditional approaches often requi…

SAMBA: A Trainable Segmentation Web-App with Smart Labelling

Ronan Docherty, Isaac Squires, Antonis Vamvakeros +1

Segmentation is the assigning of a semantic class to every pixel in an image and is a prerequisite for various statistical analysis tasks in materials science, like phase quantific…
