ViT-Up: Faithful Feature Upsampling for Vision Transformers
Summary
ViT-Up introduces a task-agnostic feature upsampler for Vision Transformers that predicts features at arbitrary continuous image coordinates, enabling dense feature maps at any resolution and improving dense prediction and semantic correspondence benchmarks. It outperforms prior state-of-the-art upsamplers, with gains of up to +2.07 mIoU on Cityscapes and +4.17 [email protected] on SPair-71k.

Source: https://huggingface.co/papers/2606.14024 Introducing ViT-Up: A state-of-the-art task-agnostic feature upsampler for Vision Transformers. ViT-Up predicts features at ⭐ arbitrary continuous image coordinates ⭐, enabling dense feature maps at any resolution and sample-aware vision pipelines that query features only where they are needed.
Pretrained through self-supervised feature distillation on over one million ImageNet-1K images, it supports data-constrained dense prediction and fine-grained correspondence by letting downstream heads operate directly on dense DINOv3 features.
ViT-Up outperforms prior state-of-the-art feature upsamplers across dense prediction and semantic correspondence benchmarks. On DINOv3-S+, ViT-Up improves over prior methods by up to:
- +2.07 mIoU on Cityscapes
- +4.17[email protected]on SPair-71k
