Dilated Convolution

Technique
Definition

Convolution with gaps between kernel elements, increasing receptive field without adding parameters.

Dilation rate controls spacing. Expands receptive field exponentially with depth. Used in semantic segmentation and audio generation.

Examples

1

DeepLab segmentation

2

WaveNet audio

3

Large receptive fields
