A frontier video understanding model developed by FAIR, Meta, which extends the pretraining objectives of VJEPA, resulting in state-of-the-art video understanding capabilities, leveraging data and model sizes at scale. The code is released in this repository.
V-JEPA 2 is intended to represent any video (and image) to perform video classification, retrieval, or as a video encoder for VLMs.
from transformers import AutoVideoProcessor, AutoModel
hf_repo = "facebook/vjepa2-vitg-fpc64-384"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(hf_repo)
processor = AutoVideoProcessor.from_pretrained(hf_repo)
To load a video, sample the number of frames according to the model. For this model, we use 64.
import torch
from torchcodec.decoders import VideoDecoder
import numpy as np
video_url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/nateraw/kinetics-mini/resolve/main/val/archery/-Qz25rXdMjE_000014_000024.mp4"
vr = VideoDecoder(video_url)
frame_idx = np.arange(0, 64) # choosing some frames. here, you can define more complex sampling strategy
video = vr.get_frames_at(indices=frame_idx).data # T x C x H x W
video = processor(video, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
video_embeddings = model.get_vision_features(**video)
print(video_embeddings.shape)
To load an image, simply copy the image to the desired number of frames.
from transformers.image_utils import load_image
image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/merve/coco/resolve/main/val2017/000000000285.jpg")
pixel_values = processor(image, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)["pixel_values_videos"]
pixel_values = pixel_values.repeat(1, 16, 1, 1, 1) # repeating image 16 times
with torch.no_grad():
image_embeddings = model.get_vision_features(pixel_values)
print(image_embeddings.shape)
