VMamba: Visual State Space Model

arXiv:2401.10166v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) have long been the predominant backbone networks for visual representation learning. While ViTs have recently gained prominence over CNNs due to their superior fitting capabilities, their scalability is largely constrained by the quadratic complexity of attention computation. Inspired by the capability of Mamba in efficiently modeling long sequences, we propose VMamba, a generic vision backbone model aiming to reduce the computational complexity to linear while retaining ViTs' …
