Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a neural network to predict optical flow. One of the methods includes obtaining a batch of one or more training image pairs; for each of the pairs: processing the first training image and the second training image using the neural network to generate a final optical flow estimate; generating a cropped final optical flow estimate from the final optical flow estimate; and training the neural network using the cropped optical flow estimate.
