mindspore.nn.Pad

class mindspore.nn.Pad(paddings, mode='CONSTANT')[source]

Pads the input tensor according to the paddings and mode.

Parameters
  • paddings (tuple) –

    The shape of parameter paddings is (N, 2). N is the rank of input data. All elements of paddings are int type. For D th dimension of the x, paddings[D, 0] indicates how many sizes to be extended ahead of the D th dimension of the input tensor, and paddings[D, 1] indicates how many sizes to be extended behind of the D th dimension of the input tensor. The padded size of each dimension D of the output is: \(paddings[D, 0] + input\_x.dim\_size(D) + paddings[D, 1]\) eg:

    • mode = “CONSTANT”.

    • paddings = [[1,1], [2,2]].

    • x = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]].

    • The above can be seen: 1st dimension of x is 3, 2nd dimension of x is 3.

    • Substitute into the formula to get:

    • 1st dimension of output is paddings[0][0] + 3 + paddings[0][1] = 1 + 3 + 1 = 4.

    • 2nd dimension of output is paddings[1][0] + 3 + paddings[1][1] = 2 + 3 + 2 = 7.

    • so output.shape is (4, 7)

  • mode (str) – Specifies padding mode. The optional values are “CONSTANT”, “REFLECT”, “SYMMETRIC”. Default: “CONSTANT”.

Inputs:
  • x (Tensor) - The input tensor.

Outputs:

Tensor, the tensor after padding.

  • If mode is “CONSTANT”, it fills the edge with 0, regardless of the values of the x. If the x is [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]] and paddings is [[1,1], [2,2]], then the Outputs is [[0,0,0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,1,2,3,0,0], [0,0,4,5,6,0,0], [0,0,7,8,9,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0]].

  • If mode is “REFLECT”, it uses a way of symmetrical copying through the axis of symmetry to fill in. If the x is [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]] and paddings is [[1,1], [2,2]], then the Outputs is [[6,5,4,5,6,5,4], [3,2,1,2,3,2,1], [6,5,4,5,6,5,4], [9,8,7,8,9,8,7], [6,5,4,5,6,5,4]].

  • If mode is “SYMMETRIC”, the filling method is similar to the “REFLECT”. It is also copied according to the symmetry axis, except that it includes the symmetry axis. If the x is [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]] and paddings is [[1,1], [2,2]], then the Outputs is [[2,1,1,2,3,3,2], [2,1,1,2,3,3,2], [5,4,4,5,6,6,5], [8,7,7,8,9,9,8], [8,7,7,8,9,9,8]].

Raises
  • TypeError – If paddings is not a tuple.

  • ValueError – If length of paddings is more than 4 or its shape is not (n, 2).

  • ValueError – If mode is not one of ‘CONSTANT’, ‘REFLECT’, ‘SYMMETRIC’.
