DML_FOLD_OPERATOR_DESC structure (directml.h)

Combines an array of patches formed from a sliding window into a large containing tensor.

Consider a batched input tensor containing sliding local blocks, e.g., patches of images, of shape (N,C×∏(WindowSizes),BlockCount), where N is batch dimension, C×∏(WindowSizes) is the number of values within a window (a window has ∏(WindowSizes) spatial locations each containing a C-channeled vector), and BlockCount is the total number of blocks. This operation combines these local blocks into the large output tensor of shape (N,C,OutputSize[0],OutputSize[1],…) by summing the overlapping values. The arguments must satisfy:

BlocksPerDimension[d] = ( ( SpatialSize[d] + StartPadding[d] + EndPadding[d] - Dilations[d] * (WindowSizes[d] - 1) - 1 ) / stride[d] ) + 1

BlockCount = ∏_d BlocksPerDimension[d]

Where:

• 0 <= d < DimensionCount

The OutputSize (the OutputTensor's size) describes the spatial shape of the large containing tensor of the sliding local blocks.

The StartPadding, EndPadding, Strides, and Dilations arguments specify how the sliding blocks are retrieved.

Members

InputTensor

Type: const DML_TENSOR_DESC*

The input tensor to read from.

OutputTensor

Type: const DML_TENSOR_DESC*

The output tensor to write the results to.

DimensionCount

Type: UINT

The spatial dimensions of InputTensor. DimensionCount must be <= 6.

WindowSizes

Type: _Field_size_(DimensionCount) const UINT*

The size of the sliding window. Size of the extracted patch.

Strides

Type: _Field_size_(DimensionCount) const UINT*

The stride of the sliding window (with dimensions WindowSizes) in the input spatial dimensions. They are separate from the tensor strides included in DML_TENSOR_DESC. Step size of the extracted patches.

Dilations

Type: _Field_size_(DimensionCount) const UINT*

The dilations of the sliding window (with dimensions WindowSizes) in the input spatial dimensions, by scaling the space between the kernel points. Dilations of the extracted patch.

StartPadding

Type: _Field_size_(DimensionCount) const UINT*

An array containing the amount of implicit zero-padding to be applied to the beginning of each spatial dimension of InputTensor. Start padding of the source tensor.

EndPadding

Type: _Field_size_(DimensionCount) const UINT*

An array containing the amount of implicit zero-padding to be applied to the end of each spatial dimension of InputTensor. End padding of the source tensor.
