Patent number: 12198410Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training an image analysis model. The image analysis model comprises a coupling layer that determines an output vector of discrete values from an input vector of discrete values. First, a machine learnable submodel of the coupling layer is trained to predict a second input part of the coupling layer from a first input part of the coupling layer. Next, the image analysis model is trained. This involves applying the coupling layer by applying the machine learnable submodel to the first input part to obtain a prediction of the second input part; and determining a second output part by applying an invertible mapping to the second input part defined by the prediction of the second input part. The mapping maps a predicted value of an element of the second input part to a fixed value independent from the predicted value.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Alexandra Lindt, Emiel Hoogeboom, William Harris Beluch
