PriorBoxClustered

Versioned name: PriorBoxClustered-1

Category: Object detection

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

Detailed description

Let

\[W \equiv image\_width, \quad H \equiv image\_height.\]

Then calculations of PriorBoxClustered can be written as

\[center_x=(w+offset)*step\]
\[center_y=(h+offset)*step\]
\[w \subset \left( 0, W \right )\]
\[h \subset \left( 0, H \right )\]

For each \(s = \overline{0, W - 1}\) 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: \(coordinate = \min(\max(coordinate,0), 1)\)

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

    • Required: yes

  • variance

    • Description: variance denotes a variance of adjusting bounding boxes. The attribute could be 0, 1 or 4 elements.

    • Range of values: floating-point positive numbers

    • Type: float[]

    • Default value: []

    • Required: no

Inputs:

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

  • 2: image_size - 1D tensor of type T_INT with two 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] and type T_OUT with box coordinates. The priors_per_point is the number of boxes generated per each grid element. The number depends on layer attribute values.

Types

  • T_INT: any supported integer type.

  • T_OUT: supported floating-point type.
