+This model was released in 2025 and added to Hugging Face Transformers in 2025-10. [web:28][web:25]
+
+DEIMv2
+
+Overview
+
+DEIMv2 is a real‑time object detection architecture built on DINOv3 features, introducing a Spatial Tuning Adapter (STA) to convert single‑scale ViT features into a lightweight multi‑scale pyramid, a simplified decoder, and an upgraded Dense one‑to‑one matching strategy. [web:16][web:6]
+
+This integration uses the AutoBackbone API so DINO‑family backbones can be reused without re‑implementation in the detection head; the initial release targets DINOv3/ViT backbones, with tiny HGNetv2 variants planned as follow‑ups.
+
+[!TIP]
+The smallest working example below shows how to run inference and obtain boxes, scores, and labels from post‑processing. [web:25][web:28]

+Model notes
+
+Backbone via AutoBackbone: loads DINOv3/ViT variants and exposes feature maps to the DEIMv2 head.
+
+Spatial Tuning Adapter (STA): transforms single‑scale features into a multi‑scale pyramid for accurate localization with minimal overhead.
+
+Decoder and Dense O2O: streamlined decoder with one‑to‑one assignment for stable training and real‑time throughput.

+
+Configuration
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2Config
+
+__init__
+
+This configuration defines backbone settings, query count, decoder depth, STA parameters, and sets model_type="deimv2". Any changes to the configuration (e.g., hidden_dim, num_queries, or STA scale factors) are reflected in model initialization.
+
+Base model
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2Model
+
+forward
+
+Connects the backbone to STA and decoder. Returns decoder hidden states for the detection head.
+
+Task head
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2ForObjectDetection
+
+forward
+
+Predicts class logits and normalized bounding boxes for a fixed set of queries. Compatible with the post-processing API to get final detection outputs.
+
+Image Processor
+
+[[autodoc]] Deimv2ImageProcessor
+
+preprocess
+
+post_process_object_detection
+
+Handles resizing, normalization, batching, and conversion of model outputs to boxes, scores, and labels. Supports different input image sizes and batch processing.
