From the model card
Sapiens is a family of vision transformers pretrained on 300 million human images at 1024 x 1024 image resolution. The pretrained models, when finetuned for human-centric vision tasks, generalize to in-the-wild conditions. Sapiens-1B natively support 1K high-resolution inference. The resulting models exhibit remarkable generalization to in-the-wild data, even when labeled data is scarce or entirely synthetic.
Pretrained 1B model can be used for feature extraction, fine-tuning, or as a starting point for training new models.
