torchvision

The torchvision package consists of popular datasets, model architectures, and common image transformations for computer vision.

Installation

Please refer to the official instructions to install the stable versions of torch and torchvision on your system.

To build source, refer to our contributing page.

The following is the corresponding torchvision versions and supported Python versions.

torch	torchvision	Python
main / nightly	main / nightly	>=3.8, <=3.11
2.1	0.16	>=3.8, <=3.11
2.0	0.15	>=3.8, <=3.11
1.13	0.14	>=3.7.2, <=3.10

older versions

torch	torchvision	Python
1.12	0.13	>=3.7, <=3.10
1.11	0.12	>=3.7, <=3.10
1.10	0.11	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.9	0.10	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.8	0.9	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.7	0.8	>=3.6, <=3.9
1.6	0.7	>=3.6, <=3.8
1.5	0.6	>=3.5, <=3.8
1.4	0.5	==2.7, >=3.5, <=3.8
1.3	0.4.2 / 0.4.3	==2.7, >=3.5, <=3.7
1.2	0.4.1	==2.7, >=3.5, <=3.7
1.1	0.3	==2.7, >=3.5, <=3.7
<=1.0	0.2	==2.7, >=3.5, <=3.7

Image Backends

Torchvision currently supports the following image backends:

• torch tensors
• PIL images:
  • Pillow
  • Pillow-SIMD - a much faster drop-in replacement for Pillow with SIMD.

Read more in in our docs.

[UNSTABLE] Video Backend

Torchvision currently supports the following video backends:

• pyav (default) - Pythonic binding for ffmpeg libraries.
• video_reader - This needs ffmpeg to be installed and torchvision to be built from source. There shouldn't be any conflicting version of ffmpeg installed. Currently, this is only supported on Linux.

conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
python setup.py install

Using the models on C++

TorchVision provides an example project for how to use the models on C++ using JIT Script.

Installation From source:

mkdir build
cd build
# Add -DWITH_CUDA=on support for the CUDA if needed
cmake ..
make
make install

Once installed, the library can be accessed in cmake (after properly configuring CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH) via the TorchVision::TorchVision target:

find_package(TorchVision REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(my-target PUBLIC TorchVision::TorchVision)

The TorchVision package will also automatically look for the Torch package and add it as a dependency to my-target, so make sure that it is also available to cmake via the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.

For an example setup, take a look at examples/cpp/hello_world.

Python linking is disabled by default when compiling TorchVision with CMake, this allows you to run models without any Python dependency. In some special cases where TorchVision's operators are used from Python code, you may need to link to Python. This can be done by passing -DUSE_PYTHON=on to CMake.

TorchVision Operators

In order to get the torchvision operators registered with torch (eg. for the JIT), all you need to do is to ensure that you #include <torchvision/vision.h> in your project.
