RedDino-base
RedDino is a self-supervised Vision Transformer foundation model specifically designed for red blood cell (RBC) image analysis.
It leverages a tailored version of the DINOv2 framework, trained on a meticulously curated dataset of 1.25 million RBC images from diverse acquisition modalities and sources.
This model excels at extracting robust, general-purpose features for downstream hematology tasks such as shape classification, morphological subtype recognition, and batch-effect–robust analysis.
Unlike general-purpose models pretrained on natural images, RedDino incorporates hematology-specific augmentations, architectural tweaks, and RBC-tailored data preprocessing, enabling state-of-the-art performance on multiple RBC benchmarks.

Example Usage
from PIL import Image
from torchvision import transforms
import timm
import torch
# Load model from Hugging Face Hub
model = timm.create_model("hf_hub:Snarcy/RedDino-base", pretrained=True)
model.eval()
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
model.to(device)
# Load and preprocess image
image = Image.open("path/to/rbc_image.jpg").convert("RGB")
transform = transforms.Compose([
transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
])
input_tensor = transform(image).unsqueeze(0).to(device)
# Extract features
with torch.no_grad():
embedding = model(input_tensor)
