Detailed Description

template<typename Dtype>
class caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >

Takes at least two Blobs and concatenates them along either the num or channel dimension, outputting the result.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Backward_cpu()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >::Backward_cpu	(	const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	top,
		const vector< bool > &	propagate_down,
		const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	bottom
	)

protectedvirtual

Computes the error gradient w.r.t. the concatenate inputs.

Parameters

top	output Blob vector (length 1), providing the error gradient with respect to the outputs $(KN \times C \times H \times W)$ if axis == 0, or $(N \times KC \times H \times W)$ if axis == 1: containing error gradients $\frac{\partial E}{\partial y}$ with respect to concatenated outputs
propagate_down	see Layer::Backward.
bottom	input Blob vector (length K), into which the top gradient $\frac{\partial E}{\partial y}$ is deconcatenated back to the inputs $\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} \frac{\partial E}{\partial x_1} & \frac{\partial E}{\partial x_2} & ... & \frac{\partial E}{\partial x_K} \end{array} \right] = \frac{\partial E}{\partial y}$

Implements caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ ExactNumTopBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >

virtual int caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >::ExactNumTopBlobs ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the exact number of top blobs required by the layer, or -1 if no exact number is required.

This method should be overridden to return a non-negative value if your layer expects some exact number of top blobs.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ Forward_cpu()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >::Forward_cpu	(	const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	bottom,
		const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	top
	)

protectedvirtual

Parameters

bottom

input Blob vector (length 2+)

$(N \times C \times H \times W)$ the inputs
$(N \times C \times H \times W)$ the inputs
...

K $(N \times C \times H \times W)$ the inputs

top

output Blob vector (length 1)

$(KN \times C \times H \times W)$ if axis == 0, or $(N \times KC \times H \times W)$ if axis == 1: the concatenated output $y = [\begin{array}{cccc} x_1 & x_2 & ... & x_K \end{array}]$

Implements caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ LayerSetUp()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >::LayerSetUp	(	const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	bottom,
		const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	top
	)

virtual

Does layer-specific setup: your layer should implement this function as well as Reshape.

Parameters

bottom	the preshaped input blobs, whose data fields store the input data for this layer
top	the allocated but unshaped output blobs

This method should do one-time layer specific setup. This includes reading and processing relevent parameters from the layer_param_. Setting up the shapes of top blobs and internal buffers should be done in Reshape, which will be called before the forward pass to adjust the top blob sizes.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ MinBottomBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >

virtual int caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >::MinBottomBlobs ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the minimum number of bottom blobs required by the layer, or -1 if no minimum number is required.

This method should be overridden to return a non-negative value if your layer expects some minimum number of bottom blobs.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ Reshape()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::ConcatLayer< Dtype >::Reshape	(	const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	bottom,
		const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	top
	)

virtual

Adjust the shapes of top blobs and internal buffers to accommodate the shapes of the bottom blobs.

Parameters

bottom	the input blobs, with the requested input shapes
top	the top blobs, which should be reshaped as needed

This method should reshape top blobs as needed according to the shapes of the bottom (input) blobs, as well as reshaping any internal buffers and making any other necessary adjustments so that the layer can accommodate the bottom blobs.
