NAME

MPSCNNAddGradient

SYNOPSIS

#import <MPSCNNMath.h>

Inherits MPSCNNArithmeticGradient.

Instance Methods

(nonnull instancetype) - initWithDevice:isSecondarySourceFilter:

Detailed Description

This depends on Metal.framework. Specifies the addition gradient operator. This arithmetic gradient filter requires the following inputs: gradient image from the previous layer (going backwards) and either the primary or the secondary source image from the forward pass. You will need a separate filter for the primary and secondary source images.

Without broadcasting, the arithmetic add gradient operation is a copy operation on the input gradient image. It is the same operation for both the primary and secondary source images (for x + y, d/dx(x + y) = 1, d/dy(x + y) = 1). This copy operation can be optimized away by the graph interface.

Setting the broadcasting parameters results in a reduction operation (sum) across all of the applicable broadcasting dimensions (rows, columns, feature channels, or any combination thereof) to produce the destination image of the size that matches the primary/secondary input images used in the forward pass.

Method Documentation

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithDevice: (nonnull id< MTLDevice >) device(BOOL) isSecondarySourceFilter

Initialize the addition gradient operator.

Parameters:

device The device the filter will run on.
isSecondarySourceFilter A boolean indicating whether the arithmetic gradient filter is operating on the primary or secondary source image from the forward pass.

Returns:

A valid MPSCNNAddGradient object or nil, if failure.

Reimplemented from MPSCNNArithmeticGradient.
