DVT: Denoising Vision Transformers

Project Paper Arxiv Code (to be updated) Video Gallery Image Gallery

Method recap:

Our decomposition relies on this approximation:

ViT(x) ≈ F(x) + [G(position) + h(x, position)],

where: F(x) represents the denoised semantic features, G(position) denotes the shared artifacts across all views, and h(x, position) models the interdependency between position and semantic content.

Our method works for feature maps extracted under different stride size.
