Some knowledge about DepthWiseConv
As we all know, people invent DepthWiseConv for more efficient computation cost without accuracy loss.
DepthwiseConv coupled with PointWiseConv could be equal to normal convlution.
DepthWiseConv means that we assign a single kernel to each feature channel. PointWiseConv is a normal convolution kernel with kernel size 1 and stride 1.
DepthWiseConv aims to extract the spatial feature of a feature map, while PointWiseConv aims to extracte the correlation of different feature maps.
