PriorBoxClustered

Versioned name : PriorBoxClustered-1

Category : Object detection

Short description : PriorBoxClustered operation generates prior boxes of specified sizes normalized to the input image size.

Attributes

  • width (height)

    • Description : width (height) specifies desired boxes widths (heights) in pixels.

    • Range of values : floating point positive numbers

    • Type : float[]

    • Default value : 1.0

    • Required : no

  • clip

    • Description : clip is a flag that denotes if each value in the output tensor should be clipped within [0,1].

    • Range of values :

      • false or 0 - clipping is not performed

      • true or 1 - each value in the output tensor is within [0,1]

    • Type : boolean

    • Default value : true

    • Required : no

  • step (step_w, step_h)

    • Description : step (step_w, step_h) is a distance between box centers. For example, step equal 85 means that the distance between neighborhood prior boxes centers is 85. If both step_h and step_w are 0 then they are updated with value of step. If after that they are still 0 then they are calculated as input image width(height) divided with first input width(height).

    • Range of values : floating point positive number

    • Type : float

    • Default value : 0.0

    • Required : no

  • offset

    • Description : offset is a shift of box respectively to top left corner. For example, offset equal 85 means that the shift of neighborhood prior boxes centers is 85.

    • Range of values : floating point positive number

    • Type : float

    • Default value : None

    • Required : yes

  • variance

    • Description : variance denotes a variance of adjusting bounding boxes.

    • Range of values : floating point positive numbers

    • Type : float[]

    • Default value : []

    • Required : no

  • img_h (img_w)

    • Description : img_h (img_w) specifies height (width) of input image. These attributes are taken from the second input image_size height(width) unless provided explicitly as the value for this attributes.

    • Range of values : floating point positive number

    • Type : float

    • Default value : 0

    • Required : no

Inputs :

  • 1 : output_size - 1D tensor with two integer elements [height, width]. Specifies the spatial size of generated grid with boxes. Required.

  • 2 : image_size - 1D tensor with two integer elements [image_height, image_width] that specifies shape of the image for which boxes are generated. Optional.

Outputs :

  • 1 : 2D tensor of shape [2, 4 * height * width * priors_per_point] with box coordinates. The priors_per_point is the number of boxes generated per each grid element. The number depends on layer attribute values.

Detailed description

PriorBoxClustered computes coordinates of prior boxes by following:

  1. Calculates the center_x and center_y of prior box:

    \[W \equiv Width \quad Of \quad Image\]
    \[H \equiv Height \quad Of \quad Image\]
    \[center_x=(w+offset)*step\]
    \[center_y=(h+offset)*step\]
    \[w \subset \left( 0, W \right )\]
    \[h \subset \left( 0, H \right )\]
  2. For each \(s \subset \left( 0, W \right )\) calculates the prior boxes coordinates:

    \[xmin = \frac{center_x - \frac{width_s}{2}}{W}\]
    \[ymin = \frac{center_y - \frac{height_s}{2}}{H}\]
    \[xmax = \frac{center_x - \frac{width_s}{2}}{W}\]
    \[ymax = \frac{center_y - \frac{height_s}{2}}{H}\]

    If clip is defined, the coordinates of prior boxes are recalculated with the formula: \(coordinate = \min(\max(coordinate,0), 1)\)

Example

<layer type="PriorBoxClustered" ... >
    <data clip="false" height="44.0,10.0,30.0,19.0,94.0,32.0,61.0,53.0,17.0" offset="0.5" step="16.0" variance="0.1,0.1,0.2,0.2" width="86.0,13.0,57.0,39.0,68.0,34.0,142.0,50.0,23.0"/>
