averagePooling3dLayer
3-D average pooling layer
Description
A 3-D average pooling layer performs downsampling by dividing three-dimensional input into cuboidal pooling regions, then computing the average values of each region.
The dimensions that the layer pools over depends on the layer input:
For 3-D image input (data with five dimensions corresponding to pixels in three spatial dimensions, the channels, and the observations), the layer pools over the spatial dimensions.
For 3-D image sequence input (data with six dimensions corresponding to the pixels in three spatial dimensions, the channels, the observations, and the time steps), the layer pools over the spatial dimensions.
For 2-D image sequence input (data with five dimensions corresponding to the pixels in two spatial dimensions, the channels, the observations, and the time steps), the layer pools over the spatial and time dimensions.
Creation
Description
creates an average pooling layer and sets the layer
= averagePooling3dLayer(poolSize
)PoolSize
property.
sets the optional layer
= averagePooling3dLayer(poolSize
,Name=Value
)Stride
and Name
properties
using name-value arguments. To specify input padding, use the Padding
name-value argument. For example, averagePooling3dLayer(2,Stride=2)
creates a 3-D average pooling layer with pool size [2 2 2]
and stride
[2 2 2]
. You can specify multiple name-value arguments.
Input Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments as
Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN
, where Name
is
the argument name and Value
is the corresponding value.
Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the
pairs does not matter.
Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose
Name
in quotes.
Example: averagePooling3dLayer(2,Stride=2)
creates a 3-D average
pooling layer with pool size [2 2 2]
and stride [2 2
2]
.
Padding
— Input edge padding
0
(default) | array of nonnegative integers | "same"
Input edge padding, specified as one of these values:
"same"
— Add padding of size calculated by the software at training or prediction time so that the output has the same size as the input when the stride equals 1. If the stride is larger than 1, then the output size isceil(inputSize/stride)
, whereinputSize
is the height, width, or depth of the input andstride
is the stride in the corresponding dimension. The software adds the same amount of padding to the top and bottom, to the left and right, and to the front and back, if possible. If the padding in a given dimension has an odd value, then the software adds the extra padding to the input as postpadding. In other words, the software adds extra vertical padding to the bottom, extra horizontal padding to the right, and extra depth padding to the back of the input.Nonnegative integer
p
— Add padding of sizep
to all the edges of the input.Three-element vector
[a b c]
of nonnegative integers — Add padding of sizea
to the top and bottom, padding of sizeb
to the left and right, and padding of sizec
to the front and back of the input.2-by-3 matrix
[t l f;b r k]
of nonnegative integers — Add padding of sizet
to the top,b
to the bottom,l
to the left,r
to the right,f
to the front, andk
to the back of the input. In other words, the top row specifies the prepadding and the second row defines the postpadding in the three dimensions.
Example:
Padding=1
adds one row of padding to the top and bottom, one column
of padding to the left and right, and one plane of padding to the front and back of the
input.
Example:
Padding="same"
adds padding so that the output has the same size as
the input (if the stride equals 1).
Properties
Average Pooling
PoolSize
— Dimensions of pooling regions
vector of three positive integers
Dimensions of the pooling regions, specified as a vector of three positive integers
[h w d]
, where h
is the height,
w
is the width, and d
is the depth. When
creating the layer, you can specify PoolSize
as a scalar to use the
same value for all three dimensions.
If the stride dimensions Stride
are less than the respective
pooling dimensions, then the pooling regions overlap.
The padding dimensions PaddingSize
must be less than the pooling
region dimensions PoolSize
.
Example:
[2 1 1]
specifies pooling regions of height 2, width 1, and depth
1.
Stride
— Step size for traversing input
[1 1 1]
(default) | vector of three positive integers
Step size for traversing the input in three dimensions, specified as a vector
[a b c]
of three positive integers, where a
is
the vertical step size, b
is the horizontal step size, and
c
is the step size along the depth direction. When creating the
layer, you can specify Stride
as a scalar to use the same value for
step sizes in all three directions.
If the stride dimensions Stride
are less than the respective
pooling dimensions, then the pooling regions overlap.
The padding dimensions PaddingSize
must be less than the pooling
region dimensions PoolSize
.
Example:
[2 3 1]
specifies a vertical step size of 2, a horizontal step size
of 3, and a step size along the depth of 1.
PaddingSize
— Size of padding
[0 0 0;0 0 0]
(default) | 2-by-3 matrix of nonnegative integers
Size of padding to apply to input borders, specified as 2-by-3 matrix
[t l f;b r k]
of nonnegative
integers, where t
and b
are the padding applied to the top and bottom in the vertical
direction, l
and r
are the
padding applied to the left and right in the horizontal
direction, and f
and k
are
the padding applied to the front and back along the depth. In
other words, the top row specifies the prepadding and the second
row defines the postpadding in the three dimensions.
When you create a layer, use the Padding
name-value argument to specify the padding size.
Example:
[1 2 4; 1 2 4]
adds one row of padding to the
top and bottom, two columns of padding to the left and right,
and four planes of padding to the front and back of the
input.
PaddingMode
— Method to determine padding size
"manual"
(default) | "same"
Method to determine padding size, specified as "manual"
or
"same"
.
The software automatically sets the value of PaddingMode
based on the Padding argument value you specify when creating a layer.
If you set the
Padding
argument to a scalar or a vector of nonnegative integers, then the software automatically setsPaddingMode
to"manual"
.If you set the
Padding
argument to"same"
, then the software automatically setsPaddingMode
to"same"
and calculates the size of the padding at training time so that the output has the same size as the input when the stride equals 1. If the stride is larger than 1, then the output size isceil(inputSize/stride)
, whereinputSize
is the height, width, or depth of the input andstride
is the stride in the corresponding dimension. The software adds the same amount of padding to the top and bottom, to the left and right, and to the front and back, if possible. If the padding in a given dimension has an odd value, then the software adds the extra padding to the input as postpadding. In other words, the software adds extra vertical padding to the bottom, extra horizontal padding to the right, and extra depth padding to the back of the input.
The AveragePooling3DLayer
object stores this property as a character vector.
PaddingValue
— Value used to pad input
0
(default) | "mean"
Value used to pad input, specified as 0
or
"mean"
.
When you use the Padding
option to add padding to the input, the value of
the padding applied can be one of the following:
0
— Input is padded with zeros at the positions specified by thePadding
property. The padded areas are included in the calculation of the average value of the pooling regions along the edges."mean"
— Input is padded with the mean of the pooling region at the positions specified by thePadding
option. The padded areas are effectively excluded from the calculation of the average value of each pooling region.

Create 3-D Average Pooling Layer with Overlapping Pooling Regions
Create a 3-D average pooling layer with overlapping pooling regions and padding for the top and bottom of the input.
layer = averagePooling3dLayer([3 2 2],Stride=2,Padding=[1 0 0])
layer = AveragePooling3DLayer with properties: Name: '' Hyperparameters PoolSize: [3 2 2] Stride: [2 2 2] PaddingMode: 'manual' PaddingSize: [2x3 double] PaddingValue: 0
This layer creates pooling regions of size 3-by-2-by-2 and takes the average of the twelve elements in each region. The stride is 2 in all dimensions. The pooling regions overlap because there are stride dimensions Stride
that are less than the respective pooling dimensions PoolSize
.
Algorithms
3-D Average Pooling Layer
A 3-D average pooling layer extends the functionality of an average
pooling layer to a third dimension, depth. An average pooling layer performs down-sampling
by dividing the input into rectangular or cuboidal pooling regions, and computing the
average of each region. To learn more, see the 2-D Average Pooling Layer section of the averagePooling2dLayer
reference page.
The dimensions that the layer pools over depends on the layer input:
For 3-D image input (data with five dimensions corresponding to pixels in three spatial dimensions, the channels, and the observations), the layer pools over the spatial dimensions.
For 3-D image sequence input (data with six dimensions corresponding to the pixels in three spatial dimensions, the channels, the observations, and the time steps), the layer pools over the spatial dimensions.
For 2-D image sequence input (data with five dimensions corresponding to the pixels in two spatial dimensions, the channels, the observations, and the time steps), the layer pools over the spatial and time dimensions.
Layer Input and Output Formats
Layers in a layer array or layer graph pass data to subsequent layers as formatted dlarray
objects.
The format of a dlarray
object is a string of characters in which each
character describes the corresponding dimension of the data. The formats consist of one or
more of these characters:
"S"
— Spatial"C"
— Channel"B"
— Batch"T"
— Time"U"
— Unspecified
For example, you can describe 2-D image data that is represented as a 4-D array, where the
first two dimensions correspond to the spatial dimensions of the images, the third
dimension corresponds to the channels of the images, and the fourth dimension
corresponds to the batch dimension, as having the format "SSCB"
(spatial, spatial, channel, batch).
You can interact with these dlarray
objects in automatic differentiation
workflows, such as those for developing a custom layer, using a functionLayer
object, or using the forward
and predict
functions with
dlnetwork
objects.
This table shows the supported input formats of AveragePooling3DLayer
objects and the
corresponding output format. If the software passes the output of the layer to a custom
layer that does not inherit from the nnet.layer.Formattable
class, or a
FunctionLayer
object with the Formattable
property
set to 0
(false
), then the layer receives an
unformatted dlarray
object with dimensions ordered according to the formats
in this table. The formats listed here are only a subset. The layer may support additional
formats such as formats with additional "S"
(spatial) or
"U"
(unspecified) dimensions.
