Dense Prediction Transformer

Dense prediction transformers are a novel approach leveraging the power of transformer architectures for tasks requiring pixel-wise predictions in computer vision. Current research focuses on applying these models to challenges like 3D semantic occupancy prediction, depth estimation from monocular vision (including fusion with radar data), and scale estimation in visual odometry. These advancements improve the accuracy and efficiency of various computer vision applications, particularly in autonomous driving and robotics, by offering superior performance compared to traditional convolutional neural networks. The development of memory-efficient training strategies and effective multi-modal fusion techniques are key areas of ongoing investigation.
