  • Publication number: 20240303477
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, and processing devices for implementing the methods. Various embodiments may include calculating a batch softmax normalization factor using a plurality of logit values from a plurality of logits of a layer of a neural network, normalizing the plurality of logit values using the batch softmax normalization factor, and mapping each of the normalized plurality of logit values to one of a plurality of manifolds in a coordinate space. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of manifolds represents a number of labels to which a logit can be classified. In some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of manifolds represents a number of labels other than one label.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatuses for inferencing against a multidimensional point cloud using a machine learning model. An example method generally includes generating a score for each respective point in a multidimensional point cloud using a scoring neural network. Points in the multidimensional point cloud are ranked based on the generated score for each respective point in the multidimensional point cloud. The top points are selected from the ranked multidimensional point cloud, and one or more actions are taken based on the selected top k points.

  • Patent number: 11308350
    Abstract: An artificial neural network for learning to track a target across a sequence of frames includes a representation network configured to extract a target region representation from a first frame and a search region representation from a subsequent frame. The artificial neural network also includes a cross-correlation layer configured to convolve the extracted target region representation with the extracted search region representation to determine a cross-correlation map. The artificial neural network further includes a loss layer configured to compare the cross-correlation map with a ground truth cross-correlation map to determine a loss value and to back propagate the loss value into the artificial neural network to update filter weights of the artificial neural network.

  • Patent number: 10964033
    Abstract: A visual tracker may track an object by identifying the object in a frame, and the visual tracker by identify the object in the frame within a search region. The search region may be provided by a motion modeling system that independently models the motion of the object and models the motion of the camera. For example, an object motion model of the motion modeling system may first model the motion of the object, assuming the camera is not in motion, in order to identify the expected position of the object. A camera motion model of the motion modeling system may then update the expected position of the object, obtained from the object motion model, based on the motion of the camera.
