  • Publication number: 20220392014
    Abstract: A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to input a fisheye image to a vector quantized variational autoencoder. The vector quantized variational autoencoder can encode the fisheye image to first latent variables based on an encoder. The vector quantized variational autoencoder can quantize the first latent variables to generate second latent variables based on a dictionary of embeddings. The vector quantized variational autoencoder can decode the second latent variables to a rectified rectilinear image using a decoder and output the rectified rectilinear image.
