Abstract
Substantial computing costs are required to use deep-learning algorithms. Here, we implement feature extraction based on analytic relations in the Fourier-transform domain. In an example relevant to visual odometry, we demonstrate a reduction in algorithmic complexity with cross-power spectral preprocessors for feature extraction in lieu of learned convolutional filters. With spectral reparameterization and spectral pooling, not only can the optical flow (spatial disparity of images in a sequence) be computed, but occluding objects can also be tracked in the foreground without deep learning. There is evidence that insects with small brains implement similar visual-data spectral preprocessors, which may be critical in the development of future real-time machine learning applications.
