LTDETR Models
LightlyTrain 0.12.0 introduces four new LTDETR models based on the DINOv3 ConvNeXt backbones, ranging from the tiny size with 60M parameters to large with 230M parameters. The models achieve excellent results on the COCO dataset and the trained model weights are readily available for inference and fine-tuning.
Why Use LTDETR in LightlyTrain
- Simplicity: The models are extremely simple to train on new datasets and require only minimal fine-tuning thanks to the strong DINOv3 backbones.
- Seamless pipeline: With LightlyTrain, you can pretrain and fine-tune your model in a unified framework with minimal code.
- Flexibility: LTDETR supports ViT and ConvNeXt backbones with different sizes depending on your use-case
Getting started with LTDETR only requires a few lines of code:
import lightly_train
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Train
lightly_train.train_object_detection(
out="out/my_experiment",
model="dinov3/convnext-tiny-ltdetr-coco",
data={
"path": "base_path_to_your_dataset",
"train": "images/train2012",
"val": "images/val2012",
"names": {
0: "person",
1: "bicycle",
# ...
},
}
)
# Load model
model = lightly_train.load_model("dinov3/convnext-tiny-ltdetr-coco")
# Predict
prediction = model.predict("image.jpg")
