PaddingLayer

PaddingLayer[{{m1,n1},{m2,n2},…}]

represents a net layer that pads an input array with mi elements at the beginning and ni elements at the end at level i of the array.

Details and Options

  • PaddingLayer is typically used inside NetChain, NetGraph, etc.
  • The following optional parameter can be included:
  • Padding 0type of padding to use
  • Possible explicit settings for the Padding option include:
  • valpad with a constant value val
    "Fixed"repetitions of the elements on each boundary
    "Reflected"reflections of the array in the boundary
  • The default option is to pad with the value 0.
  • The Padding value "Fixed" indicates that the rectangles of pixels added at each corner should be copies of the pixels at the corners of the original array.
  • PaddingLayer exposes the following ports for use in NetGraph etc.:
  • "Input"an array of rank 1 or higher
    "Output"an array of rank 1 or higher
  • When it cannot be inferred from other layers in a larger net, the option "Input"{d1,…,dn} can be used to fix the input of PaddingLayer to be an array of dimensions d1×…×dn.
  • PaddingLayer[…][input] explicitly computes the output from applying the layer.
  • PaddingLayer[…][{input1,input2,…}] explicitly computes outputs for each of the inputi.
  • When given a NumericArray as input, the output will be a NumericArray.
  • Options[PaddingLayer] gives the list of default options to construct the layer. Options[PaddingLayer[…]] gives the list of default options to evaluate the layer on some data.
  • Information[PaddingLayer[…]] gives a report about the layer.
  • Information[PaddingLayer[…],prop] gives the value of the property prop of PaddingLayer[…]. Possible properties are the same as for NetGraph.
