Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed to methods and apparatuses of spatially sparse convolution module for visual rendering and synthesis. An embodiment of a method for image processing, comprising: receiving an input image by a convolution layer of a neural network to generate a plurality of feature maps; performing spatially sparse convolution on the plurality of feature maps to generate spatially sparse feature maps; and upsampling the spatially sparse feature maps to generate an output image.
