136. Computer Vision Architecture Types

There are mainly 2 types of architectures in computer vision.

  1. Pyramid Architecture
    The size/shape of the element is reduced: Ex. Traditional Convolution Networks
  2. Isotropic Architecture
    Have equal size and shape for all elements throughout the network: Ex. Transformers

Recent research discovers that isotropic architectures may reach state-of-the-art performance with lighter components.
