This model generates a classification map that covers a given input size instead of a single classification. In particular a 8 $\times$ 8 classification map on a 451 $\times$ 451 input gives 64x the output in only 3x the time. The computation exploits a natural efficiency of convolutional network (convnet) structure by amortizing the computation of overlapping receptive fields. # # To do so we translate the `InnerProduct` matrix multiplication layers of CaffeNet into `Convolutional` layers. This is the only change: the other layer types are agnostic to spatial size. Convolution is translation-invariant, activations are elementwise operations, and so on. The `fc6` inner product when carried out as convolution by `fc6-conv` turns into a 6 $\times$ 6 filter with stride 1 on `pool5`. Back in image space this gives a classification for each 227 $\times$ 227 box with stride 32 in pixels. Remember the equation for output map / receptive field size, output = (input - kernel_size) / stride + 1, and work out the indexing details for a clear understanding. # In[6]: get_ipython().system('diff net_surgery/bvlc_caffenet_full_conv.prototxt ../models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/deploy.prototxt') # The only differences needed in the architecture are to change the fully connected classifier inner product layers into convolutional layers with the right filter size -- 6 x 6, since the reference model classifiers take the 36 elements of `pool5` as input -- and stride 1 for dense classification. Note that the layers are renamed so that Caffe does not try to blindly load the old parameters when it maps layer names to the pretrained model. # In[7]: # Load the original network and extract the fully connected layers' parameters. net = caffe.Net('../models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/deploy.prototxt', '../models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/bvlc_reference_caffenet.caffemodel', caffe.TEST) params = ['fc6', 'fc7', 'fc8'] # fc_params = {name: (weights, biases)} fc_params = {pr: (net.params[pr][0].data, net.params[pr][1].data) for pr in params} for fc in params: print '{} weights are {} dimensional and biases are {} dimensional'.format(fc, fc_params[fc][0].shape, fc_params[fc][1].shape) # Consider the shapes of the inner product parameters. The weight dimensions are the output and input sizes while the bias dimension is the output size. # In[8]: # Load the fully convolutional network to transplant the parameters. net_full_conv = caffe.Net('net_surgery/bvlc_caffenet_full_conv.prototxt', '../models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/bvlc_reference_caffenet.caffemodel', caffe.TEST) params_full_conv = ['fc6-conv', 'fc7-conv', 'fc8-conv'] # conv_params = {name: (weights, biases)} conv_params = {pr: (net_full_conv.params[pr][0].data, net_full_conv.params[pr][1].data) for pr in params_full_conv} for conv in params_full_conv: print '{} weights are {} dimensional and biases are {} dimensional'.format(conv, conv_params[conv][0].shape, conv_params[conv][1].shape) # The convolution weights are arranged in output $\times$ input $\times$ height $\times$ width dimensions. To map the inner product weights to convolution filters, we could roll the flat inner product vectors into channel $\times$ height $\times$ width filter matrices, but actually these are identical in memory (as row major arrays) so we can assign them directly. # # The biases are identical to those of the inner product. # # Let's transplant! # In[9]: for pr, pr_conv in zip(params, params_full_conv): conv_params[pr_conv][0].flat = fc_params[pr][0].flat # flat unrolls the arrays conv_params[pr_conv][1][...] = fc_params[pr][1] # Next, save the new model weights. # In[10]: net_full_conv.save('net_surgery/bvlc_caffenet_full_conv.caffemodel') # To conclude, let's make a classification map from the example cat image and visualize the confidence of "tiger cat" as a probability heatmap.

Nevertheless it can work just fine. Sliding-window training and finetuning can be done by defining a sliding-window ground truth and loss such that a loss map is made for every location and solving as usual.
