  • Publication number: 20240161314
    Abstract: A method of estimating an optical flow includes processing, using an image processing pass, a first image and a second image separately, and estimating the optical flow based on a second image attention feature map of the first image and a second image attention feature map of the second image. The processing using the image processing pass includes extracting a feature map by encoding an image, outputting a first image fusion attention feature map by fusing row relationship information of the image with the image feature map, outputting a first image attention feature map of the image based on the first image fusion attention feature map and the image feature map, outputting a second image fusion attention feature map by fusing column relationship information of the image with the first image attention feature map, and generating a second image attention feature map of the image based on the second image fusion attention feature map and the first image attention feature map.
