Abstract:
A method includes obtaining a first plurality of feature vectors associated with a first image and a second plurality of feature vectors associated with a second image. The method also includes generating a plurality of transformed feature vectors by transforming each respective feature vector of the first plurality of feature vectors by a kernel matrix trained to define an elliptical inner product space. The method additionally includes generating a cost volume by determining, for each respective transformed feature vector of the plurality of transformed feature vectors, a plurality of inner products, wherein each respective inner product of the plurality of inner products is between the respective transformed feature vector and a corresponding candidate feature vector of a corresponding subset of the second plurality of feature vectors. The method further includes determining, based on the cost volume, a pixel correspondence between the first image and the second image.
