Method and System For Processing Images Using Cross-Stage Skip Connections

摘要

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving and processing a first image, and outputting a first feature map by an encoder. The encoder includes a plurality of first convolutional stages that receive the first image and output stage-by-stage a plurality of second feature maps corresponding to the first convolutional stages. The second feature maps have gradually decreased scales. For each second convolutional stage of the first convolutional stages, a first skip connection is added between each second convolutional stage and each of at least one remaining convolutional stage of the first convolutional stages corresponding to each second convolutional stage.
