What is the function of ensemble in option? #62

I found this:

tf.flags.DEFINE_bool('ensemble', False,
                     "Enable self-ensemble at inferring. (ONLY INFER)")

Can you tell me what is the function?

A trick, first introduced in EDSR paper. Use rotate, flip, ... to generate 8 augmented patches, infer individually, and average them to final output. Use to increase accuracy.

Got it. Thanks a lot.
