ROIAlign

Versioned name: ROIAlign-3

Category: Object detection

Short description: ROIAlign is a pooling layer used over feature maps of non-uniform input sizes and outputs a feature map of a fixed size.

Detailed description: Reference.

ROIAlign performs the following for each Region of Interest (ROI) for each input feature map:

1. Multiply box coordinates with spatial_scale to produce box coordinates relative to the input feature map size.
2. Divide the box into bins according to the sampling_ratio attribute.
3. Apply bilinear interpolation with 4 points in each bin and apply maximum or average pooling based on mode attribute to produce output feature map element.

Attributes

• pooled_h

  • Description: pooled_h is the height of the ROI output feature map.
  • Range of values: a positive integer
  • Type: int
  • Default value: None
  • Required: yes

• pooled_w

  • Description: pooled_w is the width of the ROI output feature map.
  • Range of values: a positive integer
  • Type: int
  • Default value: None
  • Required: yes

• sampling_ratio

  • Description: sampling_ratio is the number of bins over height and width to use to calculate each output feature map element. If the value is equal to 0 then use adaptive number of elements over height and width: ceil(roi_height / pooled_h) and ceil(roi_width / pooled_w) respectively.
  • Range of values: a non-negative integer
  • Type: int
  • Default value: None
  • Required: yes

• spatial_scale

  • Description: spatial_scale is a multiplicative spatial scale factor to translate ROI coordinates from their input spatial scale to the scale used when pooling.
  • Range of values: a positive floating-point number
  • Type: float
  • Default value: None
  • Required: yes

• mode

  • Description: mode specifies a method to perform pooling to produce output feature map elements.
  • Range of values:
    • max - maximum pooling
    • avg - average pooling
  • Type: string
  • Default value: None
  • Required: yes

Inputs:

• 1: 4D input tensor of shape [N, C, H, W] with feature maps of type T. Required.

• 2: 2D input tensor of shape [NUM_ROIS, 4] describing box consisting of 4 element tuples: [x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2] in relative coordinates of type T. The box height and width are calculated the following way: roi_width = max(spatial_scale * (x_2 - x_1), 1.0), roi_height = max(spatial_scale * (y_2 - y_1), 1.0), so the malformed boxes are expressed as a box of size 1 x 1. Required.

• 3: 1D input tensor of shape [NUM_ROIS] with batch indices of type IND_T. Required.

Outputs:

• 1: 4D output tensor of shape [NUM_ROIS, C, pooled_h, pooled_w] with feature maps of type T.

Types

• T: any supported floating point type.

• IND_T: any supported integer type.
