• Abstract summary: Key to enhancing Vision Mamba (ViM) lies in optimizing scan directions for sequence modeling. We introduce a novel local scanning strategy that divides images into distinct windows, effectively capturing local dependencies. Our model significantly outperforms Vim-Ti by 3.1% on ImageNet with the same 1.5G FLOPs.

• Abstract: Recent advancements in state space models, notably Mamba, have demonstrated significant progress in modeling long sequences for tasks like language understanding. Yet, their application in vision tasks has not markedly surpassed the performance of traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs). This paper posits that the key to enhancing Vision Mamba (ViM) lies in optimizing scan directions for sequence modeling. Traditional ViM approaches, which flatten spatial tokens, overlook the preservation of local 2D dependencies, thereby elongating the distance between adjacent tokens. We introduce a novel local scanning strategy that divides images into distinct windows, effectively capturing local dependencies while maintaining a global perspective. Additionally, acknowledging the varying preferences for scan patterns across different network layers, we propose a dynamic method to independently search for the optimal scan choices for each layer, substantially improving performance. Extensive experiments across both plain and hierarchical models underscore our approach's superiority in effectively capturing image representations. For example, our model significantly outperforms Vim-Ti by 3.1% on ImageNet with the same 1.5G FLOPs. Code is available at: https://github.com/hunto/LocalMamba.

  Mamba has garnered widespread attention due to its flexible design and efficient hardware performance to process 1D sequences. Recent studies have attempted to apply Mamba to the visual domain by flattening 2D images into patches and then regarding them as a 1D sequence. We propose a Visual 2-Dimensional Mamba model as a complete solution, which directly processes image tokens in the 2D space.

  State Space Models (SSMs) with Mamba have shown great promise for long-range dependency modeling with linear complexity. To effectively organize and construct visual features within the 2D image space through 1D selective scan, we propose a novel Multi-Head Scan (MHS) module. The resulting sub-embeddings, obtained from the multi-head scan process, are then integrated and ultimately projected back into the high-dimensional space.
