Confusion about why a single conv layer is able to learn the offsets #252

Hi, I was confused that why a single conv layer is able to learn the offsets, since a conv layer is local connected to the input. So how could it learn the offsets that point to the other positions? Thanks!

Can anyone explain? Thanks!

Hi, I have the same question. Have you figured it out?

can we use deform conv to generate offsets?
