Hello,

First of all, I'm not very familiar with convolutional neural networks yet.

I tried to apply a convolution filter in this way:

Code: Select all

Convolution _convolution_filter = new Convolution(_kernel_weights); //3x3 random weight kernel
Bitmap _result = _convolution_filter.Apply(_input_bitmap);


It seems that it works but the filter returns a bitmap with the same dimensions as the input bitmap.

I've heard that through convolution the image should get smaller by a few pixels each time the filter is applied but this doesn't seem the case.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any help and advice is appreciated,
Nerfling.

What you are doing (and asking about) has zero relation to neural networks.

It really depends on implementation. Images do not have to get smaller in size.
