Summary

This PR adds a fast image processor for MobileViT models, providing significant performance improvements while maintaining full functional equivalence with the existing slow processor.

Changes

  • Added: MobileViTImageProcessorFast class in src/transformers/models/mobilevit/image_processing_mobilevit_fast.py
  • Enhanced: Test coverage for dual processor testing in existing test file
  • Implemented: Custom channel flipping support (RGB→BGR) via do_flip_channel_order parameter

Performance Improvements

  • Average speedup: 1.35x across different batch sizes
  • Optimal performance: 1.8x speedup for medium batches (16-32 images)
  • GPU acceleration: Uses PyTorch/torchvision for batched tensor operations

Technical Implementation

  • Channel Flipping: Custom _preprocess method handles RGB→BGR conversion (required for MobileViT)
  • Size Handling: Maintains shortest_edge format consistency with slow processor via default_to_square=False
  • Normalization: Properly disabled to match slow processor behavior (do_normalize=None)
  • Code Quality: Follows HuggingFace patterns, passes all style checks

Testing

  • ✅ All 18 existing tests pass (2 expected skips)
  • ✅ Functional equivalence verified between slow and fast processors
  • ✅ Performance benchmarks confirm speedup
  • ✅ Both processors produce identical outputs

Backward Compatibility

  • ✅ No breaking changes to existing MobileViT workflows
  • ✅ Maintains full compatibility with slow processor parameters
  • ✅ Drop-in replacement for performance-critical applications

Implementation Notes

The custom _preprocess method was necessary because BaseImageProcessorFast does not support the do_flip_channel_order parameter required by MobileViT models. This follows the same pattern used by other fast processors (LayoutLMv2, DepthPro) that require specialized preprocessing steps.

- Implement MobileViTImageProcessorFast class inheriting from BaseImageProcessorFast
- Add support for RGB to BGR channel flipping specific to MobileViT models
- Override _preprocess method to handle channel order transformation using torchvision ops
- Update test infrastructure to test both slow and fast processors
- Add fast processor to auto image processing registry
- Update documentation to include fast processor

Fixes huggingface#36978
