Deep Learning 学习随记（七）Convolution and Pooling --卷积和池化

图像大小与参数个数：

前面几章都是针对小图像块处理的，这一章则是针对大图像进行处理的。两者在这的区别还是很明显的，小图像（如8*8，MINIST的28*28）可以采用全连接的方式（即输入层和隐含层直接相连）。但是大图像，这个将会变得很耗时：比如96*96的图像，若采用全连接方式，需要96*96个输入单元，然后如果要训练100个特征，只这一层就需要96*96*100个参数（W,b），训练时间将是前面的几百或者上万倍。所以这里用到了部分联通网络。对于图像来说，每个隐含单元仅仅连接输入图像的一小片相邻区域。

这样就引出了一个卷积的方法：

convolution：

自然图像有其固有特性，也就是说，图像的一部分的统计特性与其他部分是一样的。这也意味着我们在这一部分学习的特征也能用在另一部分上，所以对于这个图像上的所有位置，我们都能使用同样的学习特征。

对于图像，当从一个大尺寸图像中随机选取一小块，比如说8x8作为样本，并且从这个小块样本中学习到了一些特征，这时我们可以把从这个8x8样本中学习到的特征作为探测器，应用到这个图像的任意地方中去。特别是，我们可以用从8x8样本中所学习到的特征跟原本的大尺寸图像作卷积，从而对这个大尺寸图像上的任一位置获得一个不同特征的激活值。

讲义中举得具体例子，还是看例子容易理解：

假设你已经从一个96x96的图像中学习到了它的一个8x8的样本所具有的特征，假设这是由有100个隐含单元的自编码完成的。为了得到卷积特征，需要对96x96的图像的每个8x8的小块图像区域都进行卷积运算。也就是说，抽取8x8的小块区域，并且从起始坐标开始依次标记为（1，1），（1，2），...，一直到（89，89），然后对抽取的区域逐个运行训练过的稀疏自编码来得到特征的激活值。在这个例子里，显然可以得到100个集合，每个集合含有89x89个卷积特征。讲义中那个gif图更形象，这里不知道怎么添加进来...

最后，总结下convolution的处理过程：

假设给定了r * c的大尺寸图像，将其定义为x_large。首先通过从大尺寸图像中抽取的a * b的小尺寸图像样本x_small训练稀疏自编码，得到了k个特征（k为隐含层神经元数量），然后对于x_large中的每个a*b大小的块，求激活值fs，然后对这些fs进行卷积。这样得到（r-a+1）*（c-b+1）*k个卷积后的特征矩阵。

pooling：

在通过卷积获得了特征（features）之后，下一步我们希望利用这些特征去做分类。理论上讲，人们可以把所有解析出来的特征关联到一个分类器，例如softmax分类器，但计算量非常大。例如：对于一个96X96像素的图像，假设我们已经通过8X8个输入学习得到了400个特征。而每一个卷积都会得到一个(96 − 8 + 1) * (96 − 8 + 1) = 7921的结果集，由于已经得到了400个特征，所以对于每个样例（example）结果集的大小就将达到89² * 400 = 3,168,400 个特征。这样学习一个拥有超过3百万特征的输入的分类器是相当不明智的，并且极易出现过度拟合（over-fitting）.

所以就有了pooling这个方法，翻译作“池化”？感觉pooling这个英语单词还是挺形象的，翻译“作池”化就没那么形象了。其实也就是把特征图像区域的一部分求个均值或者最大值，用来代表这部分区域。如果是求均值就是mean pooling，求最大值就是max pooling。讲义中那个gif图也很形象，只是不知道这里怎么放gif图....

至于pooling为什么可以这样做，是因为：我们之所以决定使用卷积后的特征是因为图像具有一种“静态性”的属性，这也就意味着在一个图像区域有用的特征极有可能在另一个区域同样适用。因此，为了描述大的图像，一个很自然的想法就是对不同位置的特征进行聚合统计。这个均值或者最大值就是一种聚合统计的方法。

另外，如果人们选择图像中的连续范围作为池化区域，并且只是池化相同(重复)的隐藏单元产生的特征，那么，这些池化单元就具有平移不变性(translation invariant)。这就意味着即使图像经历了一个小的平移之后，依然会产生相同的（池化的）特征（这里有个小小的疑问，既然这样，是不是只能保证在池化大小的这块区域内具有平移不变性？）。在很多任务中（例如物体检测、声音识别），我们都更希望得到具有平移不变性的特征，因为即使图像经过了平移，样例（图像）的标记仍然保持不变。例如，如果你处理一个MNIST数据集的数字，把它向左侧或右侧平移，那么不论最终的位置在哪里，你都会期望你的分类器仍然能够精确地将其分类为相同的数字。

 

练习：

下面是讲义中的练习。用到了上一章的练习的结构（即在convolution过程中的第一步，用稀疏自编码对x_small求k个特征）。

以下是主要程序：

主程序cnnExercise.m

%% CS294A/CS294W Convolutional Neural Networks Exercise

%  Instructions
%  ------------
% 
%  This file contains code that helps you get started on the
%  convolutional neural networks exercise. In this exercise, you will only
%  need to modify cnnConvolve.m and cnnPool.m. You will not need to modify
%  this file.

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 0: Initialization
%  Here we initialize some parameters used for the exercise.

imageDim = 64;         % image dimension
imageChannels = 3;     % number of channels (rgb, so 3)

patchDim = 8;          % patch dimension
numPatches = 50000;    % number of patches

visibleSize = patchDim * patchDim * imageChannels;  % number of input units 
outputSize = visibleSize;   % number of output units
hiddenSize = 400;           % number of hidden units 

epsilon = 0.1;           % epsilon for ZCA whitening

poolDim = 19;          % dimension of pooling region

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 1: Train a sparse autoencoder (with a linear decoder) to learn 
%  features from color patches. If you have completed the linear decoder
%  execise, use the features that you have obtained from that exercise, 
%  loading them into optTheta. Recall that we have to keep around the 
%  parameters used in whitening (i.e., the ZCA whitening matrix and the
%  meanPatch)

% --------------------------- YOUR CODE HERE --------------------------
% Train the sparse autoencoder and fill the following variables with 
% the optimal parameters:

%optTheta =  zeros(2*hiddenSize*visibleSize+hiddenSize+visibleSize, 1);
%ZCAWhite =  zeros(visibleSize, visibleSize);
%meanPatch = zeros(visibleSize, 1);
load STL10Features.mat;


% --------------------------------------------------------------------

% Display and check to see that the features look good
W = reshape(optTheta(1:visibleSize * hiddenSize), hiddenSize, visibleSize);
b = optTheta(2*hiddenSize*visibleSize+1:2*hiddenSize*visibleSize+hiddenSize);

displayColorNetwork( (W*ZCAWhite)');

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 2: Implement and test convolution and pooling
%  In this step, you will implement convolution and pooling, and test them
%  on a small part of the data set to ensure that you have implemented
%  these two functions correctly. In the next step, you will actually
%  convolve and pool the features with the STL10 images.

%% STEP 2a: Implement convolution
%  Implement convolution in the function cnnConvolve in cnnConvolve.m

% Note that we have to preprocess the images in the exact same way 
% we preprocessed the patches before we can obtain the feature activations.

load stlTrainSubset.mat % loads numTrainImages, trainImages, trainLabels

%% Use only the first 8 images for testing
convImages = trainImages(:, :, :, 1:8); 

% NOTE: Implement cnnConvolve in cnnConvolve.m first!
convolvedFeatures = cnnConvolve(patchDim, hiddenSize, convImages, W, b, ZCAWhite, meanPatch);

%% STEP 2b: Checking your convolution
%  To ensure that you have convolved the features correctly, we have
%  provided some code to compare the results of your convolution with
%  activations from the sparse autoencoder

% For 1000 random points
for i = 1:1000    
    featureNum = randi([1, hiddenSize]);
    imageNum = randi([1, 8]);
    imageRow = randi([1, imageDim - patchDim + 1]);
    imageCol = randi([1, imageDim - patchDim + 1]);    
   
    patch = convImages(imageRow:imageRow + patchDim - 1, imageCol:imageCol + patchDim - 1, :, imageNum);
    patch = patch(:);            
    patch = patch - meanPatch;
    patch = ZCAWhite * patch;
    
    features = feedForwardAutoencoder(optTheta, hiddenSize, visibleSize, patch); 

    if abs(features(featureNum, 1) - convolvedFeatures(featureNum, imageNum, imageRow, imageCol)) > 1e-9
        fprintf('Convolved feature does not match activation from autoencoder\n');
        fprintf('Feature Number    : %d\n', featureNum);
        fprintf('Image Number      : %d\n', imageNum);
        fprintf('Image Row         : %d\n', imageRow);
        fprintf('Image Column      : %d\n', imageCol);
        fprintf('Convolved feature : %0.5f\n', convolvedFeatures(featureNum, imageNum, imageRow, imageCol));
        fprintf('Sparse AE feature : %0.5f\n', features(featureNum, 1));       
        error('Convolved feature does not match activation from autoencoder');
    end 
end

disp('Congratulations! Your convolution code passed the test.');

%% STEP 2c: Implement pooling
%  Implement pooling in the function cnnPool in cnnPool.m

% NOTE: Implement cnnPool in cnnPool.m first!
pooledFeatures = cnnPool(poolDim, convolvedFeatures);

%% STEP 2d: Checking your pooling
%  To ensure that you have implemented pooling, we will use your pooling
%  function to pool over a test matrix and check the results.

testMatrix = reshape(1:64, 8, 8);
expectedMatrix = [mean(mean(testMatrix(1:4, 1:4))) mean(mean(testMatrix(1:4, 5:8))); ...
                  mean(mean(testMatrix(5:8, 1:4))) mean(mean(testMatrix(5:8, 5:8))); ];
            
testMatrix = reshape(testMatrix, 1, 1, 8, 8);
        
pooledFeatures = squeeze(cnnPool(4, testMatrix));

if ~isequal(pooledFeatures, expectedMatrix)
    disp('Pooling incorrect');
    disp('Expected');
    disp(expectedMatrix);
    disp('Got');
    disp(pooledFeatures);
else
    disp('Congratulations! Your pooling code passed the test.');
end

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 3: Convolve and pool with the dataset
%  In this step, you will convolve each of the features you learned with
%  the full large images to obtain the convolved features. You will then
%  pool the convolved features to obtain the pooled features for
%  classification.
%
%  Because the convolved features matrix is very large, we will do the
%  convolution and pooling 50 features at a time to avoid running out of
%  memory. Reduce this number if necessary

stepSize = 50;
assert(mod(hiddenSize, stepSize) == 0, 'stepSize should divide hiddenSize');

load stlTrainSubset.mat % loads numTrainImages, trainImages, trainLabels
load stlTestSubset.mat  % loads numTestImages,  testImages,  testLabels

pooledFeaturesTrain = zeros(hiddenSize, numTrainImages, ...
    floor((imageDim - patchDim + 1) / poolDim), ...
    floor((imageDim - patchDim + 1) / poolDim) );
pooledFeaturesTest = zeros(hiddenSize, numTestImages, ...
    floor((imageDim - patchDim + 1) / poolDim), ...
    floor((imageDim - patchDim + 1) / poolDim) );

tic();

for convPart = 1:(hiddenSize / stepSize)
    
    featureStart = (convPart - 1) * stepSize + 1;
    featureEnd = convPart * stepSize;
    
    fprintf('Step %d: features %d to %d\n', convPart, featureStart, featureEnd);  
    Wt = W(featureStart:featureEnd, :);
    bt = b(featureStart:featureEnd);    
    
    fprintf('Convolving and pooling train images\n');
    convolvedFeaturesThis = cnnConvolve(patchDim, stepSize, ...
        trainImages, Wt, bt, ZCAWhite, meanPatch);
    pooledFeaturesThis = cnnPool(poolDim, convolvedFeaturesThis);
    pooledFeaturesTrain(featureStart:featureEnd, :, :, :) = pooledFeaturesThis;   
    toc();
    clear convolvedFeaturesThis pooledFeaturesThis;
    
    fprintf('Convolving and pooling test images\n');
    convolvedFeaturesThis = cnnConvolve(patchDim, stepSize, ...
        testImages, Wt, bt, ZCAWhite, meanPatch);
    pooledFeaturesThis = cnnPool(poolDim, convolvedFeaturesThis);
    pooledFeaturesTest(featureStart:featureEnd, :, :, :) = pooledFeaturesThis;   
    toc();

    clear convolvedFeaturesThis pooledFeaturesThis;

end


% You might want to save the pooled features since convolution and pooling takes a long time
save('cnnPooledFeatures.mat', 'pooledFeaturesTrain', 'pooledFeaturesTest');
toc();

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 4: Use pooled features for classification
%  Now, you will use your pooled features to train a softmax classifier,
%  using softmaxTrain from the softmax exercise.
%  Training the softmax classifer for 1000 iterations should take less than
%  10 minutes.

% Add the path to your softmax solution, if necessary
% addpath /path/to/solution/

% Setup parameters for softmax
softmaxLambda = 1e-4;
numClasses = 4;
% Reshape the pooledFeatures to form an input vector for softmax
softmaxX = permute(pooledFeaturesTrain, [1 3 4 2]);
softmaxX = reshape(softmaxX, numel(pooledFeaturesTrain) / numTrainImages,...
    numTrainImages);
softmaxY = trainLabels;

options = struct;
options.maxIter = 200;
softmaxModel = softmaxTrain(numel(pooledFeaturesTrain) / numTrainImages,...
    numClasses, softmaxLambda, softmaxX, softmaxY, options);

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 5: Test classifer
%  Now you will test your trained classifer against the test images

softmaxX = permute(pooledFeaturesTest, [1 3 4 2]);
softmaxX = reshape(softmaxX, numel(pooledFeaturesTest) / numTestImages, numTestImages);
softmaxY = testLabels;

[pred] = softmaxPredict(softmaxModel, softmaxX);
acc = (pred(:) == softmaxY(:));
acc = sum(acc) / size(acc, 1);
fprintf('Accuracy: %2.3f%%\n', acc * 100);

% You should expect to get an accuracy of around 80% on the test images.

 

 

cnnConvolve.m

function convolvedFeatures = cnnConvolve(patchDim, numFeatures, images, W, b, ZCAWhite, meanPatch)
%cnnConvolve Returns the convolution of the features given by W and b with
