Circular-symmetric correlation layer

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Despite the vast success of standard planar convolutional neural networks, they are not the most efficient choice for analyzing signals that lie on an arbitrarily curved manifold, such as a cylinder. The problem arises when one performs a planar projection of these signals and inevitably causes them to be distorted or broken where there is valuable information. We propose a Circular-symmetric Correlation Layer (CCL) based on the formalism of roto-translation equivariant correlation on the continuous group S1imesmathbbR, and implement it efficiently using the well-known Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. We showcase the performance analysis of a general network equipped with CCL on various recognition and classification tasks and datasets. The PyTorch package implementation of CCL is provided online.
