Input Arguments

Pix2pixHD generator network, specified as a dlnetwork (Deep Learning Toolbox) object. You can create a pix2pixHD generator network using the pix2pixHDGlobalGenerator function.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: netWithEnhancer = addPix2PixHDLocalEnhancer(net,FilterSizeInFirstAndLastBlocks=[5 7]) adds a local enhancer whose first and last convolution layers have a size of 5-by-7.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: netWithEnhancer = addPix2PixHDLocalEnhancer(net,"FilterSizeInFirstAndLastBlocks",[5 7]) adds a local enhancer whose first and last convolution layers have a size of 5-by-7.

Filter size in the first and last convolution layers of the local enhancer network, specified as a positive odd integer or 2-element vector of positive odd integers of the form [height width]. When you specify the filter size as a scalar, the filter has equal height and width.

Filter size in intermediate convolution layers in the local enhancer network, specified as a positive odd integer or 2-element vector of positive odd integers of the form [height width]. The intermediate convolution layers are the convolution layers excluding the first and last convolution layer. When you specify the filter size as a scalar, the filter has identical height and width. Typical values are between 3 and 7.

Number of residual blocks in the local enhancer network, specified as a positive integer. Each residual block consists of a set of convolution, normalization and nonlinear layers with skip connections between every block.

Style of padding used in the local enhancer network, specified as one of these values.

pix2pixHD Local Enhancer Network

The addPix2PixHDLocalEnhancer function performs these operations to add a local enhancer network to a pix2pixHD global generator network. The default enhanced network follows the architecture proposed by Wang et. al. References.

  1. The local enhancer network has an initial block of layers that accepts images of size [2*H 2*W C], where H is the height, W is the width, and C is the number of channels of the input to the global generator network, net. When net has multiple image input layers, the input image size of the local enhancer network is twice the input size with the maximum resolution.

  2. After the initial block, the local enhancer network has a single downsampling block that downsamples the data by a factor of two. Therefore, the output after downsampling has size [H W 2*C].

  3. The addPix2PixHDLocalEnhancer function trims the final block from the global generator network. The function then adds the output of the last upsampling block in the global generator network to the output of the downsampled data from the enhancer network using an additionLayer (Deep Learning Toolbox).

  4. The output of the addition then passes through NumResidualBlocks residual blocks from the local enhancer.

  5. The residual blocks are followed by a single upsampling block that upsamples data to size [2*H 2*W C].

  6. The addPix2PixHDLocalEnhancer function adds a final block to the enhanced network. The convolution layer has properties specified by the arguments of addPix2PixHDLocalEnhancer. If the global generator network has a final activation layer, then the function adds the same type of activation layer to the enhanced network.

The table describes the blocks of layers that comprise the local enhancer network.
