Input padding

If we did nothing, then the convolution operation will output a result that is spatially smaller than the input to it. To avoid this effect and to ensure that our convolution kernel looks at every image location, we can place zeros on the border of our input image. When we do this, we are said to be padding the image:

The TensorFlow convolution operations provide you with two options for your padding needs: same and valid.

  • Valid - TensorFlow does not pad the image. Your convolution kernels will only go to "valid" places in the input.
  • Same - If we assume stride is one, then in this case, TensorFlow will pad the input enough ...
