Transposed 3-D convolution layer

Syntax

Description

A transposed 3-D convolution layer upsamples three-dimensional feature maps.

This layer is sometimes incorrectly known as a "deconvolution" or "deconv" layer. This layer performs the transpose of convolution and does not perform deconvolution.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Height, width, and depth of the filters, specified as a positive integer or a vector of three positive integers [h w d], whereh is the height, w is the width, and d is the depth. The filter size defines the size of the local regions to which the neurons connect in the input.

If filterSize is a scalar, then the software uses the same value for all three dimensions.

Example: [5 6 7] specifies filters with a height, width, and depth of 5, 6, and 7 respectively.

Number of filters, specified as a positive integer. This number corresponds to the number of neurons in the layer that connect to the same region in the input. This parameter determines the number of channels (feature maps) in the output of the layer.

Name-Value Arguments

expand all

Specify optional pairs of arguments asName1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: transposedConv3dLayer(11,96,'Stride',4) creates a 3-D transposed convolutional layer with 96 filters of size 11 and a stride of 4.

Transposed Convolution

expand all

Step size for traversing the input in three dimensions, specified as a vector[a b c] of three positive integers, where a is the vertical step size, b is the horizontal step size, andc is the step size along the depth. When creating the layer, you can specify Stride as a scalar to use the same value for step sizes in all three directions.

Example: [2 3 1] specifies a vertical step size of 2, a horizontal step size of 3, and a step size along the depth of 1.

Output size reduction, specified as one of the following:

'same' – Set the cropping so that the output size equals inputSize.*Stride, where inputSize is the height, width, and depth of the layer input. If you set theCropping option to"same", then the software automatically sets the CroppingMode property of the layer to'same'.
The software trims an equal amount from the top and bottom, the left and right, and the front and back, if possible. If the vertical crop amount has an odd value, then the software trims an extra row from the bottom. If the horizontal crop amount has an odd value, then the software trims an extra column from the right. If the depth crop amount has an odd value, then the software trims an extra plane from the back.
A positive integer – Crop the specified amount of data from all the edges.
A vector of nonnegative integers [a b c] – Crop a from the top and bottom, crop b from the left and right, and crop c from the front and back.
a matrix of nonnegative integers [t l f; b r bk] of nonnegative integers — Cropt, l,f, b,r, bk from the top, left, front, bottom, right, and back of the input, respectively.

If you set the Cropping option to a numeric value, then the software automatically sets the CroppingMode property of the layer to 'manual'.

Example: [1 2 2]

Number of input channels, specified as one of the following:

"auto" — Automatically determine the number of input channels at training time.
Positive integer — Configure the layer for the specified number of input channels. NumChannels and the number of channels in the layer input data must match. For example, if the input is an RGB image, thenNumChannels must be 3. If the input is the output of a convolutional layer with 16 filters, then NumChannels must be 16.

Parameters and Initialization

expand all

Function to initialize the weights, specified as one of the following:

"glorot" – Initialize the weights with the Glorot initializer [1] (also known as Xavier initializer). The Glorot initializer independently samples from a uniform distribution with zero mean and variance 2/(numIn + numOut), where numIn = FilterSize(1)*FilterSize(2)*FilterSize(3)*NumChannels andnumOut = FilterSize(1)*FilterSize(2)*FilterSize(3)*NumFilters.
"he" – Initialize the weights with the He initializer[2]. The He initializer samples from a normal distribution with zero mean and variance2/numIn, where numIn = FilterSize(1)*FilterSize(2)*FilterSize(3)*NumChannels.
"narrow-normal" – Initialize the weights by independently sampling from a normal distribution with zero mean and standard deviation 0.01.
"zeros" – Initialize the weights with zeros.
"ones" – Initialize the weights with ones.
Function handle – Initialize the weights with a custom function. If you specify a function handle, then the function must be of the form weights = func(sz), where sz is the size of the weights. For an example, see Specify Custom Weight Initialization Function.

The layer only initializes the weights when the Weights property is empty.

Data Types: char | string | function_handle

Function to initialize the biases, specified as one of these values:

"zeros" — Initialize the biases with zeros.
"ones" — Initialize the biases with ones.
"narrow-normal" — Initialize the biases by independently sampling from a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 0.01.
Function handle — Initialize the biases with a custom function. If you specify a function handle, then the function must have the formbias = func(sz), where sz is the size of the biases.

The layer initializes the biases only when the Bias property is empty.

The transposedConv3dLayer object stores this property as a character vector or a function handle.

Data Types: char | string | function_handle

Layer weights for the transposed convolution operation, specified as aFilterSize(1)-by-FilterSize(2)-by-FilterSize(3)-by-numFilters-by-NumChannels numeric array or [].

The layer weights are learnable parameters. You can specify the initial value of the weights directly using the Weights property of the layer. When you train a network, if the Weights property of the layer is nonempty, then the trainnet function uses the Weights property as the initial value. If the Weights property is empty, then the software uses the initializer specified by the WeightsInitializer property of the layer.

Data Types: single | double

Layer biases for the transposed convolutional operation, specified as a 1-by-1-by-1-by-numFilters numeric array or[].

The layer biases are learnable parameters. When you train a neural network, if Bias is nonempty, then the trainnet function uses the Bias property as the initial value. IfBias is empty, then software uses the initializer specified by BiasInitializer.

Data Types: single | double

Learning Rate and Regularization

expand all

Learning rate factor for the weights, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

The software multiplies this factor by the global learning rate to determine the learning rate for the weights in this layer. For example, if WeightLearnRateFactor is 2, then the learning rate for the weights in this layer is twice the current global learning rate. The software determines the global learning rate based on the settings you specify using the trainingOptions function.

Learning rate factor for the biases, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

The software multiplies this factor by the global learning rate to determine the learning rate for the biases in this layer. For example, if BiasLearnRateFactor is 2, then the learning rate for the biases in the layer is twice the current global learning rate. The software determines the global learning rate based on the settings you specify using the trainingOptions function.

L2 regularization factor for the biases, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

The software multiplies this factor by the global L2 regularization factor to determine the L2 regularization for the biases in this layer. For example, if BiasL2Factor is 2, then the L2 regularization for the biases in this layer is twice the global L2 regularization factor. The software determines the global L2 regularization factor based on the settings you specify using the trainingOptions function.

Output Arguments

Algorithms

collapse all

A transposed 3-D convolution layer upsamples three-dimensional feature maps.

The standard convolution operation downsamples the input by applying sliding convolutional filters to the input. By flattening the input and output, you can express the convolution operation as Y=CX+B for the convolution matrix C and bias vector_B_ that can be derived from the layer weights and biases.

Similarly, the transposed convolution operation_upsamples_ the input by applying sliding convolutional filters to the input. To upsample the input instead of downsampling using sliding filters, the layer zero-pads each edge of the input with padding that has the size of the corresponding filter edge size minus 1.

By flattening the input and output, the transposed convolution operation is equivalent to Y=C⊤X+B, where C and B denote the convolution matrix and bias vector for standard convolution derived from the layer weights and biases, respectively. This operation is equivalent to the backward function of a standard convolution layer.

Layers in a layer array or layer graph pass data to subsequent layers as formatted dlarray objects. The format of a dlarray object is a string of characters in which each character describes the corresponding dimension of the data. The format consists of one or more of these characters:

"S" — Spatial
"C" — Channel
"B" — Batch
"T" — Time
"U" — Unspecified

For example, you can describe 2-D image data that is represented as a 4-D array, where the first two dimensions correspond to the spatial dimensions of the images, the third dimension corresponds to the channels of the images, and the fourth dimension corresponds to the batch dimension, as having the format "SSCB" (spatial, spatial, channel, batch).

You can interact with these dlarray objects in automatic differentiation workflows such as developing a custom layer, using a functionLayer object, or using the forward and predict functions withdlnetwork objects.

This table shows the supported input formats ofTransposedConvolution3DLayer objects and the corresponding output format. If the output of the layer is passed to a custom layer that does not inherit from the nnet.layer.Formattable class, or a FunctionLayer object with the Formattable property set to 0 (false), then the layer receives an unformatted dlarray object with dimensions ordered corresponding to the formats in this table.

Input Format	Output Format
"SSSCB" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel, batch)	"SSSCB" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel, batch)
"SSSC" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel)	"SSSC" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel)

In dlnetwork objects, TransposedConvolution3DLayer objects also support these input and output format combinations.

Input Format	Output Format
"SSSCBT" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel, batch, time)	"SSSCBT" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel, batch, time)
"SSSCT" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel, time)	"SSSCT" (spatial, spatial, spatial, channel, time)
