Args
model_id
An int specifies depth of ResNet backbone model.
output_stride
An int of output stride, ratio of input to output
resolution.
input_specs
A tf_keras.layers.InputSpec of the input tensor.
stem_type
A str of stem type. Can be v0 or v1. v1 replaces 7x7
conv by 3 3x3 convs.
resnetd_shortcut
A bool of whether to use ResNet-D shortcut in
downsampling blocks.
replace_stem_max_pool
A bool of whether to replace the max pool in stem
with a stride-2 conv,
se_ratio
A float or None. Ratio of the Squeeze-and-Excitation layer.
init_stochastic_depth_rate
A float of initial stochastic depth rate.
multigrid
A tuple of the same length as the number of blocks in the last
resnet stage.
last_stage_repeats
An int that specifies how many times last stage is
repeated.
activation
A str name of the activation function.
use_sync_bn
If True, use synchronized batch normalization.
norm_momentum
A float of normalization momentum for the moving average.
norm_epsilon
A float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
kernel_initializer
A str for kernel initializer of convolutional layers.
kernel_regularizer
A tf_keras.regularizers.Regularizer object for
Conv2D. Default to None.
bias_regularizer
A tf_keras.regularizers.Regularizer object for Conv2D.
Default to None.
**kwargs
Additional keyword arguments to be passed.
Attributes
output_specs
A dict of {level: TensorShape} pairs for the model output.
Methods
call
call(inputs,training=None,mask=None)
Calls the model on new inputs and returns the outputs as tensors.
In this case call() just reapplies
all ops in the graph to the new inputs
(e.g. build a new computational graph from the provided inputs).
Args
inputs
Input tensor, or dict/list/tuple of input tensors.
training
Boolean or boolean scalar tensor, indicating whether to
run the Network in training mode or inference mode.
mask
A mask or list of masks. A mask can be either a boolean tensor
or None (no mask). For more details, check the guide
here.
Returns
A tensor if there is a single output, or
a list of tensors if there are more than one outputs.
