RAFT
RAFT is a PyTorch computer vision framework and deep learning system designed for optical flow estimation. It functions as a GPU-accelerated motion estimator that calculates per-pixel motion vectors between video frames to determine object movement.
The implementation utilizes recurrent all-pairs field transforms and custom CUDA kernels to optimize the memory and compute overhead associated with high-dimensional correlation calculations. This hardware-level acceleration reduces GPU memory usage during the forward pass.
The toolkit covers supervised flow learning and model training using mixed-precision formats. It also includes capabilities for video motion analysis and benchmarking model accuracy against standard optical flow datasets.
