The present disclosure generally relates to the field of deep learning technologies. An apparatus for generating a plurality of correlation images may include a feature extracting unit configured to receive a training image and extracting at least one or more of feature from the training image to generate a first feature image based on the training image; a normalizer configured to normalize the first feature image and generate a second feature image; and a shift correlating unit configured to perform a plurality of translational shifts on the second feature image to generate a plurality of shifted images, correlate each of the plurality of shifted images with the second feature image to generate the plurality of correlation images.
