       目前网络上存在很多编译好的机器学习、深度学习工具箱,在某些情况下,直接调用已经搭好的模型可能是非常方便且有效的,比如Caffe、TensorFlow工具箱,但这些工具箱需要的硬件资源比较多,不利于初学者实践和理解。因此,为了更好的理解并掌握相关知识,最好是能够自己编程实践下。本文将展示如何使用NumPy来构建卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Network , CNN)。
       CNN是较早提出的一种神经网络,直到近年来才变得火热,可以说是计算机视觉领域中应用最多的网络。一些工具箱中已经很好地实现CNN模型,相关的库函数已经完全编译好,开发人员只需调用现有的模块即可完成模型的搭建,避免了实现的复杂性。但实际上,这样会使得开发人员不知道其中具体的实现细节。有些时候,数据科学家必须通过一些细节来提升模型的性能,但这些细节是工具箱不具备的。在这种情况下,唯一的解决方案就是自己编程实现一个类似的模型,这样你对实现的模型会有最高级别的控制权,同时也能更好地理解模型每步的处理过程。
       本文将仅使用NumPy实现CNN网络,创建三个层模块,分别为卷积层(Conv)、ReLu激活函数和最大池化(max pooling)。

1.读取输入图像

       以下代码将从skimage Python库中读取已经存在的图像,并将其转换为灰度图:

1.  import skimage.data  
2.  # Reading the image  
3.  img = skimage.data.chelsea()  
4.  # Converting the image into gray.  
5.  img = skimage.color.rgb2gray(img)js

       读取图像是第一步,下一步的操作取决于输入图像的大小。将图像转换为灰度图如下所示:

2.准备滤波器

       以下代码为第一个卷积层Conv准备滤波器组(Layer 1,缩写为l1,下同):

1.  l1_filter = numpy.zeros((2,3,3))

       根据滤波器的数目和每个滤波器的大小来创建零数组。上述代码创建了2个3x3大小的滤波器,(2,3,3)中的元素数字分别表示2:滤波器的数目(num_filters)、3:表示滤波器的列数、3:表示滤波器的行数。由于输入图像是灰度图,读取后变成2维图像矩阵,因此滤波器的尺寸选择为2维阵列,舍去了深度。如果图像是彩色图(具有3个通道,分别为RGB),则滤波器的大小必须为(3,3,3),最后一个3表示深度,上述代码也要更改,变成(2,3,3,3)。
       滤波器组的大小由自己指定,但没有给定滤波器中具体的数值,一般采用随机初始化。下列一组值可以用来检查垂直和水平边缘:

1.  l1_filter[0, :, :] = numpy.array([[[-1, 0, 1],   
2.                                     [-1, 0, 1],   
3.                                     [-1, 0, 1]]])  
4.  l1_filter[1, :, :] = numpy.array([[[1,   1,  1],   
5.                                     [0,   0,  0],   
6.                                     [-1, -1, -1]]]) 

3.卷积层(Conv Layer)

       构建好滤波器后,接下来就是与输入图像进行卷积操作。下面代码使用conv函数将输入图像与滤波器组进行卷积:

1.  l1_feature_map = conv(img, l1_filter) 

       conv函数只接受两个参数,分别为输入图像、滤波器组:

1.  def conv(img, conv_filter):  
2.      if len(img.shape) > 2 or len(conv_filter.shape) > 3: # Check if number of image channels matches the filter depth.  
3.          if img.shape[-1] != conv_filter.shape[-1]:  
4.              print("Error: Number of channels in both image and filter must match.")  
5.              sys.exit()  
6.      if conv_filter.shape[1] != conv_filter.shape[2]: # Check if filter dimensions are equal.  
7.          print('Error: Filter must be a square matrix. I.e. number of rows and columns must match.')  
8.          sys.exit()  
9.      if conv_filter.shape[1]%2==0: # Check if filter diemnsions are odd.  
10.         print('Error: Filter must have an odd size. I.e. number of rows and columns must be odd.')  
11.         sys.exit()  
12.   
13.     # An empty feature map to hold the output of convolving the filter(s) with the image.  
14.     feature_maps = numpy.zeros((img.shape[0]-conv_filter.shape[1]+1,   
15.                                 img.shape[1]-conv_filter.shape[1]+1,   
16.                                 conv_filter.shape[0]))  
17.   
18.     # Convolving the image by the filter(s).  
19.     for filter_num in range(conv_filter.shape[0]):  
20.         print("Filter ", filter_num + 1)  
21.         curr_filter = conv_filter[filter_num, :] # getting a filter from the bank.  
22.         """  
23.         Checking if there are mutliple channels for the single filter. 
24.         If so, then each channel will convolve the image. 
25.         The result of all convolutions are summed to return a single feature map. 
26.         """  
27.         if len(curr_filter.shape) > 2:  
28.             conv_map = conv_(img[:, :, 0], curr_filter[:, :, 0]) # Array holding the sum of all feature maps.  
29.             for ch_num in range(1, curr_filter.shape[-1]): # Convolving each channel with the image and summing the results.  
30.                 conv_map = conv_map + conv_(img[:, :, ch_num],   
31.                                   curr_filter[:, :, ch_num])  
32.         else: # There is just a single channel in the filter.  
33.             conv_map = conv_(img, curr_filter)  
34.         feature_maps[:, :, filter_num] = conv_map # Holding feature map with the current filter.
35.      return feature_maps # Returning all feature maps. 

       该函数首先确保每个滤波器的深度等于图像通道的数目,代码如下。if语句首先检查图像与滤波器是否有一个深度通道,若存在,则检查其通道数是否相等,如果匹配不成功,则报错。

1.  if len(img.shape) > 2 or len(conv_filter.shape) > 3: # Check if number of image channels matches the filter depth.  
2.          if img.shape[-1] != conv_filter.shape[-1]:  
3.              print("Error: Number of channels in both image and filter must match.")  

       此外,滤波器的大小应该是奇数,且每个滤波器的大小是相等的。这是根据下面两个if条件语块来检查的。如果条件不满足,则程序报错并退出。

1.  if conv_filter.shape[1] != conv_filter.shape[2]: # Check if filter dimensions are equal.  
2.      print('Error: Filter must be a square matrix. I.e. number of rows and columns must match.')  
3.      sys.exit()  
4.  if conv_filter.shape[1]%2==0: # Check if filter diemnsions are odd.  
5.      print('Error: Filter must have an odd size. I.e. number of rows and columns must be odd.')  
6.      sys.exit()  

       上述条件都满足后,通过初始化一个数组来作为滤波器的值,通过下面代码来指定滤波器的值:

1.  # An empty feature map to hold the output of convolving the filter(s) with the image.  
2.  feature_maps = numpy.zeros((img.shape[0]-conv_filter.shape[1]+1,   
3.                              img.shape[1]-conv_filter.shape[1]+1,   
4.                              conv_filter.shape[0])) 

       由于没有设置步幅(stride)或填充(padding),默认为步幅设置为1,无填充。那么卷积操作后得到的特征图大小为(img_rows-filter_rows+1, image_columns-filter_columns+1, num_filters),即输入图像的尺寸减去滤波器的尺寸后再加1。注意到,每个滤波器都会输出一个特征图。

1.   # Convolving the image by the filter(s).  
2.      for filter_num in range(conv_filter.shape[0]):  
3.          print("Filter ", filter_num + 1)  
4.          curr_filter = conv_filter[filter_num, :] # getting a filter from the bank.  
5.          """  
6.          Checking if there are mutliple channels for the single filter. 
7.          If so, then each channel will convolve the image. 
8.          The result of all convolutions are summed to return a single feature map. 
9.          """  
10.         if len(curr_filter.shape) > 2:  
11.             conv_map = conv_(img[:, :, 0], curr_filter[:, :, 0]) # Array holding the sum of all feature maps.  
12.             for ch_num in range(1, curr_filter.shape[-1]): # Convolving each channel with the image and summing the results.  
13.                 conv_map = conv_map + conv_(img[:, :, ch_num],   
14.                                   curr_filter[:, :, ch_num])  
15.         else: # There is just a single channel in the filter.  
16.             conv_map = conv_(img, curr_filter)  
17.         feature_maps[:, :, filter_num] = conv_map # Holding feature map with the current filter.  

循环遍历滤波器组中的每个滤波器后,通过下面代码更新滤波器的状态:

1.  curr_filter = conv_filter[filter_num, :] # getting a filter from the bank.  

       如果输入图像不止一个通道,则滤波器必须具有同样的通道数目。只有这样,卷积过程才能正常进行。最后将每个滤波器的输出求和作为输出特征图。下面的代码检测输入图像的通道数,如果图像只有一个通道,那么一次卷积即可完成整个过程:

1.  if len(curr_filter.shape) > 2:  
2.       conv_map = conv_(img[:, :, 0], curr_filter[:, :, 0]) # Array holding the sum of all feature map 
3.       for ch_num in range(1, curr_filter.shape[-1]): # Convolving each channel with the image and summing the results.  
4.          conv_map = conv_map + conv_(img[:, :, ch_num],   
5.                                    curr_filter[:, :, ch_num])  
6.  else: # There is just a single channel in the filter.  
7.      conv_map = conv_(img, curr_filter) 

       上述代码中conv_函数与之前的conv函数不同,函数conv只接受输入图像和滤波器组这两个参数,本身并不进行卷积操作,它只是设置用于conv_函数执行卷积操作的每一组输入滤波器。下面是conv_函数的实现代码:

1.  def conv_(img, conv_filter):  
2.      filter_size = conv_filter.shape[0]  
3.      result = numpy.zeros((img.shape))  
4.      #Looping through the image to apply the convolution operation.  
5.      for r in numpy.uint16(numpy.arange(filter_size/2,   
6.                            img.shape[0]-filter_size/2-2)):  
7.          for c in numpy.uint16(numpy.arange(filter_size/2, img.shape[1]-filter_size/2-2)):  
8.              #Getting the current region to get multiplied with the filter.  
9.              curr_region = img[r:r+filter_size, c:c+filter_size]  
10.             #Element-wise multipliplication between the current region and the filter.  
11.             curr_result = curr_region * conv_filter  
12.             conv_sum = numpy.sum(curr_result) #Summing the result of multiplication.  
13.             result[r, c] = conv_sum #Saving the summation in the convolution layer feature map.  
14.               
15.     #Clipping the outliers of the result matrix.  
16.     final_result = result[numpy.uint16(filter_size/2):result.shape[0]-numpy.uint16(filter_size/2),   
17.                           numpy.uint16(filter_size/2):result.shape[1]-numpy.uint16(filter_size/2)]  
18.     return final_result  

每个滤波器在图像上迭代卷积的尺寸相同,通过以下代码实现:

1.  curr_region = img[r:r+filter_size, c:c+filter_size]  

之后,在图像区域矩阵和滤波器之间对位相乘,并将结果求和以得到单值输出:

1.  #Element-wise multipliplication between the current region and the filter.  
2.  curr_result = curr_region * conv_filter  
3.  conv_sum = numpy.sum(curr_result) #Summing the result of multiplication.  
4.  result[r, c] = conv_sum #Saving the summation in the convolution layer feature map.  

       输入图像与每个滤波器卷积后,通过conv函数返回特征图。下图显示conv层返回的特征图(由于l1卷积层的滤波器参数为(2,3,3),即2个3x3大小的卷积核,最终输出2个特征图):

卷积后图像


卷积层的后面一般跟着激活函数层,本文采用ReLU激活函数。

4.ReLU激活函数层

       ReLU层将ReLU激活函数应用于conv层输出的每个特征图上,根据以下代码行调用ReLU激活函数:

l1_feature_map_relu = relu(l1_feature_map)

ReLU激活函数(ReLU)的具体实现代码如下:

1.  def relu(feature_map):  
2.      #Preparing the output of the ReLU activation function.  
3.      relu_out = numpy.zeros(feature_map.shape)  
4.      for map_num in range(feature_map.shape[-1]):  
5.          for r in numpy.arange(0,feature_map.shape[0]):  
6.              for c in numpy.arange(0, feature_map.shape[1]):  
7.                  relu_out[r, c, map_num] = numpy.max(feature_map[r, c, map_num], 0)  

       ReLU思想很简单,只是将特征图中的每个元素与0进行比较,若大于0,则保留原始值。否则将其设置为0。ReLU层的输出如下图所示:

ReLU层输出图像


激活函数层后面一般紧跟池化层,本文采用最大池化(max pooling)。

5.最大池化层

       ReLU层的输出作为最大池化层的输入,根据下面的代码行调用最大池化操作:

1.  l1_feature_map_relu_pool = pooling(l1_feature_map_relu, 2, 2)  

最大池化函数(max pooling)的具体实现代码如下:

1.  def pooling(feature_map, size=2, stride=2):  
2.      #Preparing the output of the pooling operation.  
3.      pool_out = numpy.zeros((numpy.uint16((feature_map.shape[0]-size+1)/stride),  
4.                              numpy.uint16((feature_map.shape[1]-size+1)/stride),  
5.                              feature_map.shape[-1]))  
6.      for map_num in range(feature_map.shape[-1]):  
7.          r2 = 0  
8.          for r in numpy.arange(0,feature_map.shape[0]-size-1, stride):  
9.              c2 = 0  
10.             for c in numpy.arange(0, feature_map.shape[1]-size-1, stride):  
11.                 pool_out[r2, c2, map_num] = numpy.max(feature_map[r:r+size,  c:c+size])  
12.                 c2 = c2 + 1  
13.             r2 = r2 +1  

       该函数接受3个参数,分别为ReLU层的输出,池化掩膜的大小和步幅。首先也是创建一个空数组,用来保存该函数的输出。数组大小根据输入特征图的尺寸、掩膜大小以及步幅来确定。

1.  pool_out = numpy.zeros((numpy.uint16((feature_map.shape[0]-size+1)/stride),  
2.                          numpy.uint16((feature_map.shape[1]-size+1)/stride),  
3.                          feature_map.shape[-1]))  

       对每个输入特征图通道都进行最大池化操作,返回该区域中最大的值,代码如下:

pool_out[r2, c2, map_num] = numpy.max(feature_map[r:r+size,  c:c+size])

       池化层的输出如下图所示,这里为了显示让其图像大小看起来一样,其实池化操作后图像尺寸远远小于其输入图像。

池化层输出图像

6.层堆叠

       以上内容已经实现CNN结构的基本层——conv、ReLU以及max pooling,现在将其进行堆叠使用,代码如下:

1.  # Second conv layer  
2.  l2_filter = numpy.random.rand(3, 5, 5, l1_feature_map_relu_pool.shape[-1])  
3.  print("\n**Working with conv layer 2**")  
4.  l2_feature_map = conv(l1_feature_map_relu_pool, l2_filter)  
5.  print("\n**ReLU**")  
6.  l2_feature_map_relu = relu(l2_feature_map)  
7.  print("\n**Pooling**")  
8.  l2_feature_map_relu_pool = pooling(l2_feature_map_relu, 2, 2)  
9.  print("**End of conv layer 2**\n") 

       从代码中可以看到,l2表示第二个卷积层,该卷积层使用的卷积核为(3,5,5),即3个5x5大小的卷积核(滤波器)与第一层的输出进行卷积操作,得到3个特征图。后续接着进行ReLU激活函数以及最大池化操作。将每个操作的结果可视化,如下图所示:

l2层处理过程可视化图像

1.  # Third conv layer  
2.  l3_filter = numpy.random.rand(1, 7, 7, l2_feature_map_relu_pool.shape[-1])  
3.  print("\n**Working with conv layer 3**")  
4.  l3_feature_map = conv(l2_feature_map_relu_pool, l3_filter)  
5.  print("\n**ReLU**")  
6.  l3_feature_map_relu = relu(l3_feature_map)  
7.  print("\n**Pooling**")  
8.  l3_feature_map_relu_pool = pooling(l3_feature_map_relu, 2, 2)  
9.  print("**End of conv layer 3**\n"

       从代码中可以看到,l3表示第三个卷积层,该卷积层使用的卷积核为(1,7,7),即1个7x7大小的卷积核(滤波器)与第二层的输出进行卷积操作,得到1个特征图。后续接着进行ReLU激活函数以及最大池化操作。将每个操作的结果可视化,如下图所示:

l3层处理过程可视化图像


       神经网络的基本结构是前一层的输出作为下一层的输入,比如l2层接收l1层的输出,l3层接收来l2层的输出,代码如下:
1.  l2_feature_map = conv(l1_feature_map_relu_pool, l2_filter)  
2.  l3_feature_map = conv(l2_feature_map_relu_pool, l3_filter)

7.完整代码

       全部代码已经上传至Github上,每层的可视化是使用Matplotlib库实现。
