2D Convolution in Python similar to Matlab’s conv2

There are a number of different ways to do it with scipy, but 2D convolution isn’t directly included in numpy. (It’s also easy to implement with an fft using only numpy, if you need to avoid a scipy dependency.) scipy.signal.convolve2d, scipy.signal.convolve, scipy.signal.fftconvolve, and scipy.ndimage.convolve will all handle a 2D convolution (the last three are N-d) … Read more

Understanding NumPy’s Convolve

Convolution is a mathematical operator primarily used in signal processing. Numpy simply uses this signal processing nomenclature to define it, hence the “signal” references. An array in numpy is a signal. The convolution of two signals is defined as the integral of the first signal, reversed, sweeping over (“convolved onto”) the second signal and multiplied … Read more

Android: fast bitmap blur?

I finally found a suitable solution: RenderScript allows implementing heavy computations which are scaled transparently to all cores available on the executing device. I’ve come to the conclusion, that with respect to a reasonable balance of performance and implementation complexity, this is a better approach than JNI or shaders. Since API Level 17, there is … Read more

Intuitive understanding of 1D, 2D, and 3D convolutions in convolutional neural networks [closed]

I want to explain with picture from C3D. In a nutshell, convolutional direction & output shape is important! ↑↑↑↑↑ 1D Convolutions – Basic ↑↑↑↑↑ just 1-direction (time-axis) to calculate conv input = [W], filter = [k], output = [W] ex) input = [1,1,1,1,1], filter = [0.25,0.5,0.25], output = [1,1,1,1,1] output-shape is 1D array example) graph … Read more
