Exercise: Transformer Representation

An exercise for utilizing features extracted from a vision transformer for downstream tasks.

This exercise has two parts. In the first part, we'll learn how to extract features for a batch of images from the DINOv2 vision transformer model, and apply dimentionality reduction and clustering on those features.
In the second part, we will train a model on top of those extracted features for the segmentation task.

Setup

All the neccessary files are included in this repo. You just need to setup the python environment by running this script:
