Balanced real-time detection transformer for object metadata pipelines
Roboflow/rf-detr-mediummixpeek://image_extractor@v1/roboflow_rf_detr_medium_v1Overview
RF-DETR Medium is the balanced checkpoint in Roboflow's real-time detection transformer family. It keeps the DETR-style end-to-end detection formulation while reducing the footprint compared with the Large model.
On Mixpeek, RF-DETR Medium is a practical default for high-volume video and image pipelines where agents need object metadata for filtering, counting, and follow-up visual inspection without paying for the largest detector on every frame.
Architecture
Detection transformer with a ViT-style backbone, multi-scale projection, deformable cross-attention decoder, and DETR-style object queries. The medium checkpoint targets the throughput-quality middle ground.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
import { Mixpeek } from "mixpeek";
const mx = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: "API_KEY" });
// Managed: create a collection over a bucket; Mixpeek runs this model's extractor
const collection = await mx.collections.create({
namespace_id: "my-namespace",
collection_name: "my-collection",
source: { type: "bucket", bucket_ids: ["bkt_your_bucket"] },
feature_extractor: {
feature_extractor_name: "object_detection",
version: "v1",
parameters: { model_id: "Roboflow/rf-detr-medium" },
},
});Capabilities
- COCO-style object detection
- Transformer-based boxes without anchors
- Balanced latency and quality for production frame pipelines
