Source description
Sapiens2-0.1B
Sapiens2 is a family of high-resolution vision transformers pretrained on 1 billion human images — designed for human-centric tasks such as pose estimation, body-part segmentation, surface normals, and pointmaps.
This repository contains the 0.1B parameter pretrained backbone. It produces dense per-patch features suitable for fine-tuning downstream task heads.

Quick Start
Install the Sapiens2 repo (pip install -e .).
import torch
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from safetensors.torch import load_file
from sapiens.backbones.standalone.sapiens2 import Sapiens2
# Build the model and load the pretrained checkpoint
model = Sapiens2(arch="sapiens2_0.1b", img_size=(1024, 768), patch_size=16).eval().cuda() # img_size is (H, W)
ckpt_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="facebook/sapiens2-pretrain-0.1b", filename="sapiens2_0.1b_pretrain.safetensors")
model.load_state_dict(load_file(ckpt_path))
# Forward pass on a single image (RGB; ImageNet normalization recommended)
x = torch.randn(1, 3, 1024, 768).cuda()
with torch.no_grad():
features = model(x)[0] # dense backbone features: (B, num_tokens, embed_dim)
