Detailed Description

This interface class allows to build new Layers - are building blocks of networks.

Each class, derived from Layer, must implement allocate() methods to declare own outputs and forward() to compute outputs. Also before using the new layer into networks you must register your layer by using one of LayerFactory macros.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void cv::dnn::Layer::applyHalideScheduler	(	Ptr< BackendNode > &	node,
		const std::vector< Mat * > &	inputs,

virtual

Automatic Halide scheduling based on layer hyper-parameters.

Parameters

[in]	node	Backend node with Halide functions.
[in]	inputs	Blobs that will be used in forward invocations.
[in]	outputs	Blobs that will be used in forward invocations.
[in]	targetId	Target identifier

See Also: BackendNode, Target

Layer don't use own Halide::Func members because we can have applied layers fusing. In this way the fused function should be scheduled.

virtual void cv::dnn::Layer::finalize	(	const std::vector< Mat * > &	input,
		std::vector< Mat > &	output
	)

virtual

Computes and sets internal parameters according to inputs, outputs and blobs.

Deprecated:: Use Layer::finalize(InputArrayOfArrays, OutputArrayOfArrays) instead

Parameters

[in]	input	vector of already allocated input blobs
[out]	output	vector of already allocated output blobs

If this method is called after network has allocated all memory for input and output blobs and before inferencing.

virtual void cv::dnn::Layer::finalize	(	InputArrayOfArrays	inputs,
		OutputArrayOfArrays	outputs
	)

virtual

Computes and sets internal parameters according to inputs, outputs and blobs.

Parameters

[in]	inputs	vector of already allocated input blobs
[out]	outputs	vector of already allocated output blobs

If this method is called after network has allocated all memory for input and output blobs and before inferencing.

void cv::dnn::Layer::finalize	(	const std::vector< Mat > &	inputs,
		std::vector< Mat > &	outputs
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Deprecated:: Use Layer::finalize(InputArrayOfArrays, OutputArrayOfArrays) instead

std::vector<Mat> cv::dnn::Layer::finalize ( const std::vector< Mat > & inputs )

Deprecated:: Use Layer::finalize(InputArrayOfArrays, OutputArrayOfArrays) instead

virtual void cv::dnn::Layer::forward	(	std::vector< Mat * > &	input,
		std::vector< Mat > &	output,
		std::vector< Mat > &	internals
	)

virtual

Given the input blobs, computes the output blobs.

Deprecated:: Use Layer::forward(InputArrayOfArrays, OutputArrayOfArrays, OutputArrayOfArrays) instead

Parameters

[in]	input	the input blobs.
[out]	output	allocated output blobs, which will store results of the computation.
[out]	internals	allocated internal blobs

virtual void cv::dnn::Layer::forward	(	InputArrayOfArrays	inputs,
		OutputArrayOfArrays	outputs,
		OutputArrayOfArrays	internals
	)

virtual

Given the input blobs, computes the output blobs.

Parameters

[in]	inputs	the input blobs.
[out]	outputs	allocated output blobs, which will store results of the computation.
[out]	internals	allocated internal blobs

void cv::dnn::Layer::forward_fallback	(	InputArrayOfArrays	inputs,

virtual

virtual void cv::dnn::Layer::getScaleShift	(	Mat &	scale,
		Mat &	shift
	)		const

virtual

Returns parameters of layers with channel-wise multiplication and addition.

Parameters

[out]	scale	Channel-wise multipliers. Total number of values should be equal to number of channels.
[out]	shift	Channel-wise offsets. Total number of values should be equal to number of channels.

Some layers can fuse their transformations with further layers. In example, convolution + batch normalization. This way base layer use weights from layer after it. Fused layer is skipped. By default, scale and shift are empty that means layer has no element-wise multiplications or additions.

virtual Ptr<BackendNode> cv::dnn::Layer::initHalide ( const std::vector< Ptr< BackendWrapper > > & inputs )

virtual

Returns Halide backend node.

Parameters

[in] inputs Input Halide buffers.

See Also: BackendNode, BackendWrapper

Input buffers should be exactly the same that will be used in forward invocations. Despite we can use Halide::ImageParam based on input shape only, it helps prevent some memory management issues (if something wrong, Halide tests will be failed).

virtual Ptr<BackendNode> cv::dnn::Layer::initInfEngine ( const std::vector< Ptr< BackendWrapper > > & inputs )

virtual

virtual Ptr<BackendNode> cv::dnn::Layer::initVkCom ( const std::vector< Ptr< BackendWrapper > > & inputs )

virtual

virtual int cv::dnn::Layer::inputNameToIndex ( String inputName )

virtual

Returns index of input blob into the input array.

Parameters

inputName label of input blob

Each layer input and output can be labeled to easily identify them using "%<layer_name%>[.output_name]" notation. This method maps label of input blob to its index into input vector.

Reimplemented in cv::dnn::LSTMLayer.

virtual int cv::dnn::Layer::outputNameToIndex ( const String & outputName )

virtual

Returns index of output blob in output array.

See Also: inputNameToIndex()

Reimplemented in cv::dnn::LSTMLayer.

Allocates layer and computes output.

virtual

Implement layers fusing.
