Downsamples the input along its spatial dimensions (depth, height, and
width) by taking the average value over an input window (of size defined by
pool_size) for each channel of the input. The window is shifted by
strides along each dimension.
Args
pool_size
int or tuple of 3 integers, factors by which to downscale
(dim1, dim2, dim3). If only one integer is specified, the same
window length will be used for all dimensions.
strides
int or tuple of 3 integers, or None. Strides values. If None,
it will default to pool_size. If only one int is specified, the
same stride size will be used for all dimensions.
padding
string, either "valid" or "same" (case-insensitive).
"valid" means no padding. "same" results in padding evenly to
the left/right or up/down of the input such that output has the same
height/width dimension as the input.
data_format
string, either "channels_last" or "channels_first".
The ordering of the dimensions in the inputs. "channels_last"
corresponds to inputs with shape
(batch, spatial_dim1, spatial_dim2, spatial_dim3, channels) while
"channels_first" corresponds to inputs with shape
(batch, channels, spatial_dim1, spatial_dim2, spatial_dim3).
It defaults to the image_data_format value found in your Keras
config file at ~/.keras/keras.json. If you never set it, then it
will be "channels_last".
Input shape:
If data_format="channels_last":
5D tensor with shape:
(batch_size, spatial_dim1, spatial_dim2, spatial_dim3, channels)
If data_format="channels_first":
5D tensor with shape:
(batch_size, channels, spatial_dim1, spatial_dim2, spatial_dim3)
Output shape:
If data_format="channels_last":
5D tensor with shape:
(batch_size, pooled_dim1, pooled_dim2, pooled_dim3, channels)
If data_format="channels_first":
5D tensor with shape:
(batch_size, channels, pooled_dim1, pooled_dim2, pooled_dim3)
