  • Zerocenter 3D block

Libraries:
Deep Learning Toolbox / Deep Learning Layers / Input Layer Normalizations

Description

The Zerocenter 3D block inputs 3-dimensional image data (data with four dimensions corresponding to three spatial dimensions and one channel dimension, in that order) to a neural network and rescales the input by subtracting the value of the Mean property of the layer object that you pass into the block.

The exportNetworkToSimulink function generates this block to represent an image3dInputLayer object that has the Normalization parameter set to "zerocenter".

Limitations

  • The Layer parameter does not support objects that have the SplitComplexInputs property set to 1 (true).

  • The block supports only input data that has 1 or 3 channels corresponding to grayscale or RGB image data, respectively.

Ports

Parameters

To edit block parameters interactively, use the Property Inspector. From the Simulink® Toolstrip, on the Simulation tab, in the Prepare gallery, select Property Inspector.

Main

Specify the name of a workspace variable that contains an image3dInputLayer object that comes from a trained network and has the Normalization property set to "zerocenter". The Zerocenter 3D block configures itself by using the properties of the object and calculates the block output by using the Mean property of the object.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: Layer
Type: workspace variable
Values: image3dInputLayer object
Default: 'layerObject'

Data format for the input data. The options use the same notation as the fmt argument of the dlarray object, except layer blocks do not support the Batch (B) dimension and instead assume an observation number of 1.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: DataFormat
Type: character vector
Values: 'SSSC'
Default: 'SSSC'

Data Types

Minimum value of the output range that the software checks.

The software uses the minimum value to perform:

Tips

Output minimum does not saturate or clip the actual output signal. Use the Saturation (Simulink) block instead.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: OutMin
Values: '[]' (default) | scalar in quotes

Maximum value of the output range that the software checks.

The software uses the maximum value to perform:

Tips

Output maximum does not saturate or clip the actual output signal. Use the Saturation (Simulink) block instead.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: OutMax
Values: '[]' (default) | scalar in quotes

Choose the data type for the output. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType. When you select Inherit: Inherit via internal rule, Simulink chooses a data type to balance numerical accuracy, performance, and generated code size, while taking into account the properties of the embedded target hardware.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: OutDataTypeStr
Values: 'Inherit: Inherit via internal rule' (default) | 'Inherit: Keep MSB' | 'Inherit: Keep LSB' | 'Inherit: Inherit via back propagation' | 'Inherit: Same as first input' | 'Inherit: Same as accumulator' | <data type expression>

Select this parameter to prevent the fixed-point tools from overriding the Output data type you specify on the block. For more information, see Use Lock Output Data Type Setting (Fixed-Point Designer).

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: LockScale
Values: 'off' (default) | 'on'

Specify the rounding mode for fixed-point operations. For more information, see Rounding Modes (Fixed-Point Designer).

Block parameters always round to the nearest representable value. To control the rounding of a block parameter, enter an expression using a MATLAB® rounding function in the mask field.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: RndMeth
Values: 'Floor' (default) | 'Ceiling' | 'Convergent' | 'Nearest' | 'Round' | 'Simplest' | 'Zero'

Specify whether integer overflows saturate or wrap.

  • on — Overflows saturate to either the minimum or maximum value that the data type can represent.

  • off — Overflows wrap to the appropriate value that the data type can represent.

For example, the maximum value that the signed 8-bit integer int8 can represent is 127. Any block operation result greater than the maximum value causes overflow of the 8-bit integer.

  • With this parameter selected, the block output saturates at 127. Similarly, the block output saturates at a minimum output value of –128.

  • With this parameter cleared, the software interprets the overflow-causing value as int8, which can produce an unintended result. For example, a block result of 130 (binary 1000 0010) expressed as int8 is –126.

Tips

  • Set this parameter to on when your model has a possible overflow and you want explicit saturation protection in the generated code.

  • To optimize the efficiency of your generated code, keep the default off setting for this parameter. Using the default setting also helps you avoid overspecifying how the block handles out-of-range signals. For more information, see Troubleshoot Signal Range Errors (Simulink).

  • When you select this parameter, saturation applies to every internal operation on the block, not just the output or the result.

  • In general, the code generation process can detect when overflow is not possible. In this case, the code generator does not produce saturation code.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: SaturateOnIntegerOverflow
Values: 'off' (default) | 'on'

The block casts the value of the Mean property of the object that you specify with the Layer parameter to this data type. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: MeanDataTypeStr
Values: 'Inherit: Inherit via back propagation' (default) | 'Inherit: Inherit from 'Constant value'' | <data type expression>

Execution

Specify the discrete interval between sample time hits or specify another type of sample time, such as continuous (0) or inherited (-1). For more options, see Types of Sample Time (Simulink).

By default, the block inherits its sample time based on the context of the block within the model.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: SampleTime
Data Types: char
Values: '-1' (default) | scalar
