Understanding the Effective Receptive Field in Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This paper introduces the concept of an "effective receptive field" (ERF) in deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), showing it's smaller than the theoretical receptive field and follows a Gaussian distribution. The authors analyze how ERF size is affected by factors like network depth, non-linear activations, and skip connections, and they suggest ways to increase ERF size, such as modified initialization and architectural changes.

Imagine a CNN as having a blurry vision, focusing mostly on the center of what it "sees." This paper explores how that blurry spot (ERF) changes with different network designs.
