Torchvision

Torchvision is a PyTorch library for computer vision tasks, providing datasets, model architectures, and image transformation utilities. It simplifies the process of loading and preprocessing image data, and includes pre-trained models for tasks like image classification, object detection, and segmentation. It is widely used in research and production for building and deploying computer vision applications.

Also known as: torchvision, PyTorch Vision, torch vision, torch.vision, pytorch-vision

Why learn Torchvision?

Developers should learn Torchvision when working on computer vision projects with PyTorch, as it streamlines data handling and model implementation. It is essential for tasks such as image classification (e.g., using ResNet), object detection (e.g., with Faster R-CNN), and data augmentation, reducing boilerplate code and accelerating development. Use it in scenarios like building custom vision models, fine-tuning pre-trained networks, or processing large image datasets efficiently.
