Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a sparse-dense-sparse (SDS) process that achieves a better pruning scheme that benefits from pruning-friendliness relative to one-shot pruning schemes. The SDS process performs a first pruning to generate a sparse ML model followed by reconstruction to generate a re-dense ML model, followed by a second pruning to generate another sparse ML model. By pruning a ML model and then re-constructing the ML model, the ML model can be made more pruning-friendly by performing data and/or weight regularization. As a result, performing the second pruning in the SDS process can result in a smoother weight distribution and lower perplexity relative to one-shot pruning.

Abstract: A processing system is configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) Gaussian map representing at least a portion of an environment surrounding the processing system. For example, a capture device of the processing device first captures a set of frames each including color data. The processing system then implements a visual odometry (VO) tracking model which samples patches from this set of frames so as to generate a point cloud and pose data representing the location and orientation of the patches within the environment. Further, the processing system implements a Gaussian Mapping model that generates a set of Gaussians from the point cloud which the processing system then uses to populate a 3D Gaussian map.
