Overview
	
The ConvNeXt V2 model was proposed in ConvNeXt V2: Co-designing and Scaling ConvNets with Masked Autoencoders by Sanghyun Woo, Shoubhik Debnath, Ronghang Hu, Xinlei Chen, Zhuang Liu, In So Kweon, Saining Xie.
ConvNeXt V2 is a pure convolutional model (ConvNet), inspired by the design of Vision Transformers, and a successor of ConvNeXT.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Driven by improved architectures and better representation learning frameworks, the field of visual recognition has enjoyed rapid modernization and performance boost in the early 2020s. For example, modern ConvNets, represented by ConvNeXt, have demonstrated strong performance in various scenarios. While these models were originally designed for supervised learning with ImageNet labels, they can also potentially benefit from self-supervised learning techniques such as masked  autoencoders (MAE). However, we found that simply combining these two approaches leads to subpar performance. In this paper, we propose a fully convolutional masked autoencoder framework and a new Global Response Normalization (GRN) layer that can be added to the ConvNeXt architecture to enhance inter-channel feature competition. This co-design of self-supervised learning techniques and architectural improvement results in a new model family called ConvNeXt V2, which significantly improves the performance of pure ConvNets on various recognition benchmarks, including ImageNet classification, COCO detection, and ADE20K segmentation. We also provide pre-trained ConvNeXt V2 models of various sizes, ranging from an efficient 3.7M-parameter Atto model with 76.7% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet, to a 650M Huge model that achieves a state-of-the-art 88.9% accuracy using only public training data.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a ConvNextV2Model. It is used to instantiate an
ConvNeXTV2 model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a
configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the ConvNeXTV2
facebook/convnextv2-tiny-1k-224 architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.
Example:
	Copied
 from transformers import ConvNeXTV2Config, ConvNextV2Model
 # Initializing a ConvNeXTV2 convnextv2-tiny-1k-224 style configuration
 configuration = ConvNeXTV2Config()
 # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the convnextv2-tiny-1k-224 style configuration
 model = ConvNextV2Model(configuration)
 # Accessing the model configuration
 configuration = model.config

Parameters 
config (ConvNextV2Config) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model.
Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the
configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.
The bare ConvNextV2 model outputting raw features without any specific head on top.
This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it
as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and
behavior.

Parameters 
pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, height, width)) —
Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using ConvNextImageProcessor. See
ConvNextImageProcessor.call() for details.

more detail.
return_dict (bool, optional) —
Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
Returns
transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPoolingAndNoAttention or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
A transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPoolingAndNoAttention or a tuple of
torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration (ConvNextV2Config) and inputs.
last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, height, width)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.
pooler_output (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, hidden_size)) — Last layer hidden-state after a pooling operation on the spatial dimensions.
hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +

The ConvNextV2Model forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.
Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.
