DenseNet笔记

一、DenseNet的优点

• 减轻梯度消失问题
• 加强特征的传递
• 充分利用特征
• 减少了参数量

 

二、网络结构公式

对于每一个DenseBlock中的每一个层,

[x0,x1,…,xl-1]表示将0到l-1层的输出feature map做concatenation。concatenation是做通道的合并，就像Inception那样。而前面resnet是做值的相加，通道数是不变的。Hl包括BN，ReLU和3*3的卷积。

而在ResNet中的每一个残差块，

 

三、Growth Rate

指的是DenseBlock中每一个非线性变换Hl(BN，ReLU和3*3的卷积)的输出，这个输出与输入Concate.一个DenseBlock的输出=输入+Hl数×growth_rate。在要给DenseBlock中，Feature Map的size保持不变。

 

四、Bottleneck

这个组件位于DenseBlock中，当一个DenseBlock包含的非线性变换Hl较多时（如nHl=48）,此时的grow rate为k=32，那么第48层的输入变成input+47×32,这是一个很大的数，如果不用bottleneck进行降维，那么计算量很大。

因此，使用4×k个1x1卷积进行降维。使得3×3线性变换的输入通道变成4×k。同时，bottleneck起到特征融合的效果。

 

五、Transition

这个组件位于DenseBlock之间，使用1×1卷积进行降维，降维后的通道数为input_channels*reduction. 参数reduction默认为0.5，后接池化层进行下采样，减小Feature Map 分辨率。

 

六、网络结构
