<p>Convolution Transpose (deconv) layer for image. Paddle can support both square
and non-square input currently.</p>
<p>The details of convolution transpose layer,
please refer to the following explanation and references therein

what-are-deconvolutional-layers/&gt;`_ .
The num_channel means input image&#8217;s channel number. It may be 1 or 3 when
input is raw pixels of image(mono or RGB), or it may be the previous layer&#8217;s
num_filters * num_group.</p>
<p>There are several group of filter in PaddlePaddle implementation.
Each group will process some channel of the inputs. For example, if an input
num_channel = 256, group = 4, num_filter=32, the PaddlePaddle will create
32*4 = 128 filters to process inputs. The channels will be split into 4
pieces. First 256/4 = 64 channels will process by first 32 filters. The
rest channels will be processed by rest group of filters.</p>
<p>The example usage is:</p>

inputs. Each input of this layer should be the same size, which is also the
output size of this layer.</p>
<p>There is no weight matrix for each input, because it just a simple add
operation. If you want a complicated operation before add, please use
mixed.</p>
<p>It is a very good way to set dropout outside the layers. Since not all
PaddlePaddle layer support dropout, you can add an add_to layer, set
dropout here.
