Overview

RT-DETR-R18VD is a real-time end-to-end object detector that eliminates the need for non-maximum suppression (NMS), reducing post-processing latency. Built on a ResNet-18 backbone, this model balances lightweight architecture with high precision, making it ideal for edge deployment and latency-sensitive applications. Unlike traditional YOLO-based models, its transformer-based encoder efficiently processes multi-scale features to improve global context understanding. Developers can integrate it into vision pipelines for real-time surveillance, robotics, or industrial quality control where consistent inference speed and Apache-2.0 flexibility are critical.

Highlights

  • End-to-end detection without NMS post-processing
  • Optimized ResNet-18 backbone for edge deployment
  • Real-time inference speeds with high precision
  • Apache-2.0 license for commercial flexibility
  • Efficient multi-scale feature processing via transformers

> The YOLO series has become the most popular framework for real-time object detection due to its reasonable trade-off between speed and accuracy.
However, we observe that the speed and accuracy of YOLOs are negatively affected by the NMS.
Recently, end-to-end Transformer-based detectors (DETRs) have provided an alternative to eliminating NMS.
Nevertheless, the high computational cost limits their practicality and hinders them from fully exploiting the advantage of excluding NMS.
In this paper, we propose the Real-Time DEtection TRansformer (RT-DETR), the first real-time end-to-end object detector to our best knowledge that addresses the above dilemma.
We build RT-DETR in two steps, drawing on the advanced DETR:
first we focus on maintaining accuracy while improving speed, followed by maintaining speed while improving accuracy.
Specifically, we design an efficient hybrid encoder to expeditiously process multi-scale features by decoupling intra-scale interaction and cross-scale fusion to improve speed.
Then, we propose the uncertainty-minimal query selection to provide high-quality initial queries to the decoder, thereby improving accuracy.
In addition, RT-DETR supports flexible speed tuning by adjusting the number of decoder layers to adapt to various scenarios without retraining.
Our RT-DETR-R50 / R101 achieves 53.1% / 54.3% AP on COCO and 108 / 74 FPS on T4 GPU, outperforming previously advanced YOLOs in both speed and accuracy.
We also develop scaled RT-DETRs that outperform the lighter YOLO detectors (S and M models).
Furthermore, RT-DETR-R50 outperforms DINO-R50 by 2.2% AP in accuracy and about 21 times in FPS.
After pre-training with Objects365, RT-DETR-R50 / R101 achieves 55.3% / 56.2% AP. The project page: this https URL.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

python
import torch
import requests

from PIL import Image
from transformers import RTDetrForObjectDetection, RTDetrImageProcessor

url = 'http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

image_processor = RTDetrImageProcessor.from_pretrained("PekingU/rtdetr_r18vd")
model = RTDetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("PekingU/rtdetr_r18vd")

inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(inputs)

results = image_processor.post_process_object_detection(outputs, target_sizes=torch.tensor([image.size[::-1]]), threshold=0.3)

for result in results:
for score, label_id, box in zip(result["scores"], result["labels"], result["boxes"]):
score, label = score.item(), label_id.item()
box = [round(i, 2) for i in box.tolist()]
print(f"{model.config.id2label[label]}: {score:.2f} {box}")

Training Details

Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

The RTDETR model was trained on COCO 2017 object detection, a dataset consisting of 118k/5k annotated images for training/validation respectively.

Training Procedure

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

We conduct experiments on COCO and Objects365 datasets, where RT-DETR is trained on COCO train2017 and validated on COCO val2017 dataset.
We report the standard COCO metrics, including AP (averaged over uniformly sampled IoU thresholds ranging from 0.50-0.95 with a step size of 0.05),
AP50, AP75, as well as AP at different scales: APS, APM, APL.

Preprocessing

Images are resized to 640x640 pixels and rescaled with image_mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406] and image_std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225].

Training Hyperparameters

  • Training regime:** <!--fp32, fp16 mixed precision, bf16 mixed precision, bf16 non-mixed precision, fp16 non-mixed precision, fp8 mixed precision -->
