Vision transformers have recently become popular as a possible alternative to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for a variety of computer vision applications.
… the hybridization of convolution and self-attention mechanisms in vision transformers is gaining popularity due to their ability of exploiting both local and global image representations.
These CNN-Transformer architectures also known as hybrid vision transformers have shown remarkable results for vision applications.
… due to the rapidly growing number of these hybrid vision transformers, there is a need for a taxonomy and explanation of these architectures.
This survey presents a taxonomy of the recent vision transformer architectures, and more specifically that of the hybrid vision transformers.
… the key features of each architecture such as the attention mechanisms, positional embeddings, multi-scale processing, and convolution are also discussed …
