chainer.functions.depth2space¶

chainer.functions.depth2space(X, r)[source]¶

Computes the depth2space transformation for subpixel calculations.

Parameters

X (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Variable holding a 4d array of shape (batch, channel * r * r, dim1, dim2).
r (int) – the upscaling factor.

Returns

A variable holding the upscaled array from interspersed depth layers. The shape is (batch, channel, dim1 * r, dim2 * r).

Return type

Variable

Note

This can be used to compute super-resolution transformations. See https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.05158 for details.

>>> X = np.arange(24).reshape(1, 4, 2, 3).astype(np.float32)
>>> X.shape
