Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that generates, by a first neural network, an initial set of model weights based on input data and iteratively generates, by a second neural network, an updated set of model weights based on residual data associated with the initial set of model weights and the input data. Additionally, the technology may output a geometric model of the input data based on the updated set of model weights. In one example, the first neural network and the second neural network reduce the dependence of the geometric model on the number of data points in the input data.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture disclosed herein perform dense prediction of an input image using transformers at an encoder stage and at a reassembly stage of an image processing system. A disclosed apparatus includes an encoder with an embedder to convert an input image to a plurality of tokens representing features extracted from the input image. The tokens are embedded with a learnable position embedding. The encoder also includes one or more transformers configured in a sequence of stages to relate the tokens to each other. The apparatus further includes a decoder that includes one or more of reassemblers to assemble the tokens into feature representations, one or more of fusion blocks to combine the feature representations to generate a final feature representation, and an output head to generate a dense prediction based on the final feature representation and based on an output task.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for estimation of optical flow between images using 4-dimensional cost volume processing. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes extracting a first set of feature vectors from a first image and extracting a second set of feature vectors from a second image. Each feature vector of the first set is associated with a pixel of the first image and each feature vector of the second set is associated with a pixel of the second image. The method further includes constructing a 4-dimensional (4D) cost volume to store a distance metric between each feature vector of the first set of feature vectors and a selected subset of feature vectors of the second set of feature vectors. The method further includes performing a flow-semi-global matching (Flow-SGM) on the 4D cost volume to estimate an optical flow vector for pixels of the first image.
