Abstract: A spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) rule is applied in a spiking neural network (SNN) that includes artificial synapses bi-directionally connecting artificial neurons in the SNN to model locations within a physical environment. A first neuron is activated to cause a spike wave to propagate from the first neuron to other neurons in the SNN. Propagation of the spike wave causes synaptic weights of a subset of the synapses to be increased based on the STDP rule. A second neuron is activated after propagation of the spike wave to cause a spike chain to propagate along a path from the second neuron to the first neuron, based on the changes to the synaptic weights. A physical path is determined from the second to the first neuron based on the spike chain, and a signal may be sent to a controller of an autonomous device to cause the autonomous to navigate the physical path.

Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for improving speed and quality of real-time per-pixel depth estimation of scene layouts from a single image by using a 3D end-to-end Convolutional Spatial Propagation Network (CSPN). An efficient linear propagation model performs propagation using a recurrent convolutional operation. The affinity among neighboring pixels may be learned through a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). The CSPN may be applied to two depth estimation tasks, given a single image: (1) to refine the depth output of existing methods, and (2) to convert sparse depth samples to a dense depth map, e.g., by embedding the depth samples within the propagation procedure. For stereo depth estimation, the 3D CPSN is applied to stereo matching by adding a diffusion dimension over discrete disparity space and feature scale space. This aids the recovered stereo depth to generate more details and to avoid error matching from noisy appearance caused by sunlight, shadow, and similar effects.
