roiMaxPooling2dLayer

Neural network layer used to output fixed-size feature maps for rectangular ROIs

expand all in page

Description

An ROI max pooling layer outputs fixed size feature maps for every rectangular ROI within the input feature map. Use this layer to create a Fast or Faster R-CNN object detection network.

Given an input feature map of size [H W C N], where C is the number of channels and N is the number of observations, the output feature map size is [height width C sum(M)], where height and width are the output size. M is a vector of length N and M(i) is the number of ROIs associated with the i-th input feature map.

There are two inputs to this layer:

  • 'in' — The input feature map that will be cropped

  • 'roi' — A list of ROIs to pool

Use the input names when connecting or disconnecting the ROI max pooling layer to other layers using connectLayers or disconnectLayers (requires Deep Learning Toolbox™).

Creation

Syntax

layer = roiMaxPooling2dLayer(outputSize)
layer = roiMaxPooling2dLayer(outputSize,'Name',Name)

Description

layer = roiMaxPooling2dLayer(outputSize) creates a max pooling layer for ROIs and sets the OutputSize property.

example

layer = roiMaxPooling2dLayer(outputSize,'Name',Name) creates a max pooling layer for ROIs and sets the optional Name property. To create a network containing an ROI max pooling layer, you must specify a layer name.

Properties

expand all

Pooled output size, specified as a two-element vector of positive integers of the form [height width].

Layer name, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. To include a layer in a layer graph, you must specify a nonempty unique layer name. If you train a series network with the layer and Name is set to '', then the software automatically assigns a name to the layer at training time.

Data Types: char | string

Number of inputs of the layer. This layer has two inputs.

Data Types: double

Input names of the layer. This layer has two inputs, named 'in' and 'roi'.

Data Types: cell

Number of outputs of the layer. This layer has a single output only.

Data Types: double

Output names of the layer. This layer has a single output only.

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Create an ROI input layer.

roiInput = roiInputLayer('Name','roi_input');

Create an ROI max pooling layer with output size [4 4].

outputSize = [4 4];
roiPool = roiMaxPooling2dLayer(outputSize,'Name','roi_pool');

Add the layers to a LayerGraph.

lgraph = layerGraph;
lgraph = addLayers(lgraph,roiInput);
lgraph = addLayers(lgraph,roiPool);

Specify that the output of the ROI input layer is the 'roi' input of the ROI max pooling layer.

lgraph = connectLayers(lgraph,'roi_input','roi_pool/roi');
plot(lgraph)
