Transformers See in 3D: Using transformers to visualize depth in 2D images.

Visual robots typically perceive the three-dimensional world through sequences of two-dimensional images, but they don’t always know what they’re looking at. For instance, Tesla’s self-driving system has been known to mistake a full moon for a traffic light.

Image Transformations Unmasked: CNNs for vision that aren't fooled by changing backgrounds.

If you change an image by moving its subject within the frame, a well trained convolutional neural network may not recognize the fundamental similarity between the two versions. New research aims to make CNN wise to such alterations.
