Abstract:
An image processing method includes: receiving image data of a Bayer format comprising red color information, green color information, and blue color information, generating image data of a modified Bayer format by combining the green color information with the red color information and combining the green color information with the blue color information while downscaling the image data of the Bayer format to a target resolution, denoising the image data of the modified Bayer format, and generating RGB image data by demosaicing the denoised image data of the modified Bayer format.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for combined or separate implementation of coarse-to-fine neural architecture search (NAS), two-phase block NAS, variable hardware prediction, and differential hardware design are provided and described. A variable predictor is trained, as described herein. Then, a controller or policy may be used to iteratively modify a neural network architecture along dimensions formed by neural network architecture parameters. The modification is applied to blocks (e.g., subnetworks) within the neural network architecture. In each iteration, the remainder of the neural network architecture parameters are modified and learned with a differential NAS method. The training process is performed with two-phase block NAS and incorporates a variable hardware predictor to predict power, performance, and area (PPA) parameters. The hardware parameters may be learned as well using the variable hardware predictor.
Abstract:
A method of detecting a target in an image. The method includes receiving an image; generating a plurality of scaled-down images based on the received image; generating integral column images of each of the plurality of scaled images by calculating integral values of pixels column by column; selecting and classifying a plurality of windows of the integral column images according to a feature arithmetic operation based on a recursive column calculation; and detecting the target on the basis of the classification results for the plurality of windows.
