What is additional 256 features in ViT and an image restoration

Thank you for your kind comments

Yes, the linear layer maps the 768 features from the input activation

I understand that the additional 256 features which are added via “Linear module” are unknown.

I don’t know how the image is related to these output features, …

Yes, one approach can be to put decoder after the transformer, and feed the output features to the decorder. Before doing it, I wantted to ask experts if other approach is possible to restore the input image.

Best regards,
