There are several groups of filters in PaddlePaddle implementation. - Each group will process some channels of the input. For example, if - num_channel = 256, group = 4, num_filter=32, the PaddlePaddle will create - 32 filters to process the input. The input channels will be split into 4 - pieces. First 256/4 = 64 channels will be processed by first 32/4 = 8 filters. - The rest channels will be processed by the rest groups of filters. - + If the groups attribute is greater than 1, for example groups=2, + the input will be splitted into 2 parts along the channel axis, and + the filters will also be splitted into 2 parts.
