ultralytics.models.sam.modules.transformer.TwoWayTransformer

Bases: Module

A Two-Way Transformer module that enables the simultaneous attention to both image and query points. This class serves as a specialized transformer decoder that attends to an input image using queries whose positional embedding is supplied. This is particularly useful for tasks like object detection, image segmentation, and point cloud processing.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
depth int

The number of layers in the transformer.

embedding_dim int

The channel dimension for the input embeddings.

num_heads int

The number of heads for multihead attention.

mlp_dim int

The internal channel dimension for the MLP block.

layers ModuleList

The list of TwoWayAttentionBlock layers that make up the transformer.

final_attn_token_to_image Attention

The final attention layer applied from the queries to the image.

norm_final_attn LayerNorm

The layer normalization applied to the final queries.

Name Type Description Default
embedding_dim int

The dimensionality of the input embeddings.

required
num_heads int

The number of attention heads.

required
downsample_rate int

The factor by which the internal dimensions are downsampled. Defaults to 1.

1

Raises:

Type Description
AssertionError

If 'num_heads' does not evenly divide the internal dim (embedding_dim / downsample_rate).
