3Dcnn-Based Palpation Localization With Temporal Attention Module

in video denoising, the adjacent frames often provide very useful information, but accurate alignment is needed before such information can be harnassed. in this work, we present a multi-alignment network, which generates multiple flow proposals followed by attention-based averaging. It serves to mimics the non-local mechanism, suppressing noise by averaging multiple observations. Our approach can be applied to various state-of-the-art models that are based on flow estimation. Experiments on a large-scale video dataset demonstrate that our method improves the denoising baseline model by 0.2 dB, and further reduces the parameters by 47% with model distillation.
