Image processing neural networks with detachable convolutional layers

摘要

A neural network system is provided wherein the neural network system is configured to receive an input image and to generate a classification output for the input image. Such a neural network system includes a detachable convolutional sub-network, wherein the detachable convolutional sub-network comprises a plurality of detachable convolutional neural network layers that are in turn aligned in a stack, wherein each detachable convolutional neural network layer Is configured to apply both depth-specific convolution and point-specific convolution separately while processing the input to the separable convolutional neural network layer to generate a layer output.
