LRN

Description

Info

Parent class: Module

Parent classes: CrossMapLRN, MapLRN, LCN

This module does not implement any operations, but setves as the basis for local response normalization modules.

There are two types of local normalization layers:

  • inter-channel normalization;
  • intra-channel normalization.

The only difference between them is the area of normalization. In the intra-channel LRN, a 2D neighborhood is determined within one channel, whereas in the inter-channel LRN, the spatial neighborhood is limited to one element, while normalization occurs along a certain neighborhood of the channels.

This normalization technique in general practically does not affect the final result, therefore it is considered obsolete.
