Jun 12, 2020 · An example of an FCN An example of a fully convolutional network is the U-net (called in this way because of its U shape, which you can see from the illustration below), which is a famous network that is used for semantic segmentation , i.e. classify pixels of an image so that pixels that belong to the same class (e.g. a person) are associated ...

Jun 27, 2019 · The second path is the symmetric expanding path (also called as the decoder) which is used to enable precise localization using transposed convolutions. Thus it is an end-to-end fully convolutional network (FCN), i.e. it only contains Convolutional layers and does not contain any Dense layer because of which it can accept image of any size.

Feb 17, 2023 · FCN and FCNN are not the same, and I think you mean FCNN. $\endgroup$ – Dave. Commented Feb 17, 2023 at ...

Aug 6, 2019 · A convolutional neural network (CNN) that does not have fully connected layers is called a fully convolutional network (FCN). See this answer for more info. An example of an FCN is the u-net, which does not use any fully connected layers, but only convolution, downsampling (i.e. pooling), upsampling (deconvolution), and copy and crop operations ...

However, in FCN, you don't flatten the last convolutional layer, so you don't need a fixed feature map shape, and so you don't need an input with a fixed size. In both cases, you don't need a squared image. You just have to be careful in the case you use CNN with a fully connected layer, to have the right shape for the flatten layer.

Feb 21, 2020 · The difference between an FCN and a regular CNN is that the former does not have fully connected layers. See this answer for more info. Therefore, FCNs inherit the same properties of CNNs. There's nothing that a CNN (with fully connected layers) can do …

Nov 12, 2019 · Read on Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN). There is a lot of papers on the subject, first was "Fully Convolutional Networks for Semantic Segmentation" by Long. The idea is quite close to what you describe - preserve spatial locality in the layers. In FCN there is no fully connected layer.

May 31, 2021 · $\begingroup$ Moreover, in section 2.2 second paragraph, "...the 3D FCN is trained on images of the lowest resolution in order to capture the largest amount of context, downsampled with a factor of ds1 = 2S and optimized using the Dice loss L1... In the next level, we use the predicted segmentation maps as a second input channel to the 3D FCN ...

Oct 1, 2021 · I am reading the paper about the fully convolutional network (FCN).. I had some questions about the part where the authors discuss the filter rarefaction technique (I guess this is roughly equivalent to dilated convolution) as a trick to compensate for the cost of implementing a shift-and-stich method.

Apr 28, 2020 · Moreover, in comparison with FC layers, they have fewer parameters and, more importantly, the number of parameters in an FCN does not depend on the dimensions of the images (as in the case of traditional CNNs), which is a good thing (especially, when your images have high resolutions), but typically it depends on the number of kernels and ...
