Incorporating part-whole hierarchies into fully convolutional network for scene parsing

作者:

Highlights:

• In this paper, a new layer is proposed which is called Caps-Score layer.

• The general Hough transform (GHT) is utilized to propose a novel capsule concept.

• To accumulate the vote’s strengths for capsule, tensor normal distribution is utilized.

• The covariance matrix is defined as Kronecker product of two sub-covariance matrices.

• The proposed layer handles translation and rotation discrepancies.
