about VTN network structure #18

Closed zzx332 closed 4 years ago

zzx332 commented 4 years ago

hi,I have some questions about the code of VTN

        pred6 = convolve('pred6', conv6_1, dims, 3, 1)
        upsamp6to5 = upconvolve('upsamp6to5', pred6, dims, 4, 2, shape5[1:4])
        deconv5 = upconvolveLeakyReLU(
            'deconv5', conv6_1, shape5[4], 4, 2, shape5[1:4])
        concat5 = tf.concat([conv5_1, deconv5, upsamp6to5], 4, 'concat5')

in the VTN code,every upsampling part have pred,this structure is not mentioned in the paper. what is the use of this operation?

It would facilitate deep supervision but we didn't do it so I don't think it makes much difference. VTN should work without them.
