Visualize what pooling and convolutional neurons learned
by displaying images that gain highest response.
Motivation:
It is straightforward to visualize filters in the first convolutional layer,
but not in deeper layers. One way to visualize a neuron is too find images
that the neuron fires most one. Inspired by:
[1]: "Rich feature hierarchies for accurate object detection and semantic
segmentation" by Ross Girshick et al., CVPR, 2014, section 3.1
This file has two functions for visualizing high responses:
1) visualize_conv - for some channels in a convolutional layer.
2) visualize_pooling - for some neurons in a pooling layer
Note that for a convolutional filter, the max response is searched across
both images and x,y coordinates. At the same time, for a pooling neuron,
the max response is searched only acrooss images because the coordinates
of pooling neurons are fixed (while conv. filter is shared across x,y.)
Implementation issues:
The search for maximum across images is approximate -- only one best image
from each batch can be included into the result. This is done for simplicity
-- please contribute by generalizing to several images per batch.
I use OpenCV for drawing. If you can change to PIL or whatever,
please propose a patch.
Usage:
0) Get python bindings to OpenCV
1) Examine function 'visualize_excitations'. It has an example of visualizing
conv2 and pool2 layers.
2) Change function inference() in cifar10.py so that it also returns
conv2 and pool2 tensors. See line 415 of this file.
3) Train cifar10 by running cifar10_train.py
4) Run this file.

TL;DR: display some 'images' that receive the strongest response
from user-selected 'channels' of a convolutional 'layer'.
A 64-channel convolutional layer is consists of 64 filters.
For each of the channels, the corresponding filter naturally fires diffrently
on different pixels of different images. We're interested in highest responses.
For each filter, this function searches for such high responses, plus
the corresponding images and the coordinates of those responses.
We collect 'num_excitations' images for each filter and stack them into a row.
Rows from all filters of interest are stacked vetically into the final map.
For each image, the response value and the receptive field are visualized.
Args:
sess: tensorflow session
images: tensor for source images
layer: tensor for a convolutional layer response
channels: ids of filters of interest, a numpy array.
Example: channels=np.asarray([0,1,2]) will result in 3 rows
with responses from 0th, 1st, and 2nd filters.
half_receptive_field: integer, half of the receptive field for this layer, [1]
accum_padding: integer, accumulated padding w.r.t pixels of the input image.
Equals 0 when all previous layers use 'SAME' padding
stride: integer, equals to multiplication of strides of all prev. layers.
num_excitations: number of images to collect for each channel
num_images: number of input images to search
dst_height: will resize each image to have this height
Returns:
excitation_map: a ready-to-show image, similar to R-CNN paper.
* Suggestions on how to automatically infer half_receptive_field, accum_padding,
and stride are welcome.

In the case of pooling layer, I am getting the following error:

Please suggest how can I get pooling layer's results. Can I use same code for visualizing transpose convolution layer's output?
