  • Publication number: 20250037252
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes generating an inpainted image from a masked image using a patch-based encoder and an unquantized transformer. An image including a masked region and an unmasked region is received, and the received image is divided into a plurality of patches including masked patches. The plurality of patches is encoded into a plurality of feature vectors, wherein each patch is encoded to a feature vector. Using a transformer, a predicted token is generated for each masked patch using a feature vector encoded from the masked patch, and a quantized vector of the masked patch is determined using generated predicted token and a masked patch-specific codebook. The determined quantized vector of the masked patch is included into a set of quantized vectors associated with the plurality of patches, and an output image is generated from the set of quantized vectors using a decoder.

  • Publication number: 20220188595
    Abstract: A computer device for automatic feature detection comprises a processor, a communication device, and a memory configured to hold instructions executable by the processor to instantiate a dynamic convolution neural network, receive input data via the communication network, and execute the dynamic convolution neural network to automatically detect features in the input data. The dynamic convolution neural network compresses the input data from an input space having a dimensionality equal to a predetermined number of channels into an intermediate space having a dimensionality less than the number of channels. The dynamic convolution neural network dynamically fuses the channels into an intermediate representation within the intermediate space and expands the intermediate representation from the intermediate space to an expanded representation in an output space having a higher dimensionality than the dimensionality of the intermediate space.
