InstanceNorm3d

class torch.nn.InstanceNorm3d(num_features, eps=1e-05, momentum=0.1, affine=False, track_running_stats=False, device=None, dtype=None)

Applies Instance Normalization.

This operation applies Instance Normalization over a 5D input (a mini-batch of 3D inputs with additional channel dimension) as described in the paper Instance Normalization: The Missing Ingredient for Fast Stylization.

$$y = \frac{x - \mathrm{E}[x]}{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[x] + \epsilon}} * \gamma + \beta$$

The mean and standard-deviation are calculated per-dimension separately for each object in a mini-batch. $\gamma$ and $\beta$ are learnable parameter vectors of size C (where C is the input size) if affine is True. The standard-deviation is calculated via the biased estimator, equivalent to torch.var(input, unbiased=False).

By default, this layer uses instance statistics computed from input data in both training and evaluation modes.

If track_running_stats is set to True, during training this layer keeps running estimates of its computed mean and variance, which are then used for normalization during evaluation. The running estimates are kept with a default momentum of 0.1.

Note

This momentum argument is different from one used in optimizer classes and the conventional notion of momentum. Mathematically, the update rule for running statistics here is $\hat{x}_\text{new} = (1 - \text{momentum}) \times \hat{x} + \text{momentum} \times x_t$, where $\hat{x}$ is the estimated statistic and $x_t$ is the new observed value.

Note

InstanceNorm3d and LayerNorm are very similar, but have some subtle differences. InstanceNorm3d is applied on each channel of channeled data like 3D models with RGB color, but LayerNorm is usually applied on entire sample and often in NLP tasks. Additionally, LayerNorm applies elementwise affine transform, while InstanceNorm3d usually don’t apply affine transform.

Parameters

• num_features (int) – $C$ from an expected input of size $(N, C, D, H, W)$ or $(C, D, H, W)$

• eps (float) – a value added to the denominator for numerical stability. Default: 1e-5

• momentum (Optional[float]) – the value used for the running_mean and running_var computation. Default: 0.1

• affine (bool) – a boolean value that when set to True, this module has learnable affine parameters, initialized the same way as done for batch normalization. Default: False.

• track_running_stats (bool) – a boolean value that when set to True, this module tracks the running mean and variance, and when set to False, this module does not track such statistics and always uses batch statistics in both training and eval modes. Default: False

Shape:

• Input: $(N, C, D, H, W)$ or $(C, D, H, W)$

• Output: $(N, C, D, H, W)$ or $(C, D, H, W)$ (same shape as input)

Examples:

>>> # Without Learnable Parameters
>>> m = nn.InstanceNorm3d(100)
>>> # With Learnable Parameters
>>> m = nn.InstanceNorm3d(100, affine=True)
>>> input = torch.randn(20, 100, 35, 45, 10)
>>> output = m(input)
