Tensorflow中的padding有两种方式，其中的SAME方式比较特殊，可能产生非对称pad的情况，之前在验证一个tensorflow的网络时踩到这个坑。
tf.nn.conv2d(
input, filters, strides, padding, data_format=‘NHWC‘, dilations=None, name=None
)
需要注意padding的配置，如果是字符串就有SAME和VALID两种配置，如果是数字list就明确表明padding在各个维度的数量。
首先，padding如果表示确切的数字，其维度是input维度的2倍，因为每个维度两个边需要补pad，比如宽度的左边和右边，高度的上边和下边，但是tensorflow中不会给N维度以及C维度补pad，仅仅在W和H维度补pad，因此对于NHWC，padding =[[0, 0], [pad_top, pad_bottom], [pad_left, pad_right], [0, 0]] ，对于NCHW的pad的顺序换过来。
然后，如果输入的是字符串选项，补的pad都可以映射到padding这个参数上，
VALID模式表示不在任何维度补pad，等价于padding =[[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]]；
SAME模式表示在stride的尺度下，Wo与Wi保持在stride\(S\)下保持一致（以宽度维度为例），需要满足如下关系
我们知道如果dilation = 1，那么在某个维度上，卷积的输出宽度\(W_i\)、输出宽度\(W_o\)和步长\(S\)，在没有pad的情况下，满足如下的关系式
我们以补最小程度的\(P_a\)为基准，于是有关系式
反推过来得到
这是需要补的总的pad，tensorflow的补充pad是尽量两边对称的，
参考如下的代码
inputH, inputW = 7, 8
strideH, strideW = 3, 3
filterH = 4
filterW = 4
inputC = 16
outputC = 3
inputData = np.ones([1,inputH,inputW,inputC]) # format [N, H, W, C]
filterData = np.float16(np.ones([filterH, filterW, inputC, outputC]) - 0.33)
strides = (1, strideH, strideW, 1)
convOutputSame = tf.nn.conv2d(inputData, filterData, strides, padding=‘SAME‘)
convOutput = tf.nn.conv2d(inputData, filterData, strides, padding=[[0,0],[1,2],[1,1],[0,0]]) # padded input data
print("output1, ", convOutputSame)
print("output2, ", convOutput)
print("Sum of a - b is ", np.sum(np.square(convOutputSame - convOutput)))
计算结果是
output1, tf.Tensor(
[[[[ 96.46875 96.46875 96.46875]
[128.625 128.625 128.625 ]

[[128.625 128.625 128.625 ]
[171.5 171.5 171.5 ]
[128.625 128.625 128.625 ]]
[[ 64.3125 64.3125 64.3125 ]
[ 85.75 85.75 85.75 ]?
[ 64.3125 64.3125 64.3125 ]]]])
output2, tf.Tensor(
[[[[ 96.46875 96.46875 96.46875]
[128.625 128.625 128.625 ]
[ 96.46875 96.46875 96.46875]]
[[128.625 128.625 128.625 ]
[171.5 171.5 171.5 ]
[128.625 128.625 128.625 ]]
[[ 64.3125 64.3125 64.3125 ]
[ 85.75 85.75 85.75 ]
[ 64.3125 64.3125 64.3125 ]]]], shape=(1, 3, 3, 3), dtype=float64)
Sum of a - b is 0.0
onnx的接口，参考IR定义如下
std::function<void(OpSchema&)> ConvOpSchemaGenerator(const char* filter_desc) {
return [=](OpSchema& schema) {
std::string doc = R"DOC(
The convolution operator consumes an input tensor and {filter_desc}, and
computes the output.)DOC";
ReplaceAll(doc, "{filter_desc}", filter_desc);
schema.SetDoc(doc);
schema.Input(
0,
"X",
"Input data tensor from previous layer; "
"has size (N x C x H x W), where N is the batch size, "
"C is the number of channels, and H and W are the "
"height and width. Note that this is for the 2D image. "
"Otherwise the size is (N x C x D1 x D2 ... x Dn). "
"Optionally, if dimension denotation is "
"in effect, the operation expects input data tensor "
"to arrive with the dimension denotation of [DATA_BATCH, "
"DATA_CHANNEL, DATA_FEATURE, DATA_FEATURE ...].",
"T");
schema.Input(
1,
"W",
"The weight tensor that will be used in the "
"convolutions; has size (M x C/group x kH x kW), where C "
"is the number of channels, and kH and kW are the "
"height and width of the kernel, and M is the number "
"of feature maps. For more than 2 dimensions, the "
"kernel shape will be (M x C/group x k1 x k2 x ... x kn), "
"where (k1 x k2 x ... kn) is the dimension of the kernel. "
"Optionally, if dimension denotation is in effect, "

"(assuming zero based indices for the shape array). "
"Or in other words FILTER_IN_CHANNEL should be equal to DATA_CHANNEL. ",
"T");
schema.Input(
2,
"B",
"Optional 1D bias to be added to the convolution, has size of M.",
"T",
OpSchema::Optional);
schema.Output(
0,

"of the kernel size, stride size, and pad lengths.",

schema.TypeConstraint(

"Constrain input and output types to float tensors.");
schema.Attr(

schema.Attr(

schema.TypeAndShapeInferenceFunction([](InferenceContext& ctx) {

convPoolShapeInference(ctx, true, false, 0, 1);
});
};
}
需要注意上面的auto_pad选项，与tensorflow类似有3个选项
NOTSET，同tensorflow的VALID
SAME_UPPER 或者SAME_LOWER，这里的内容可以参考onnx文件defs.cc中的代码
std::vector<int64_t> pads;
if (getRepeatedAttribute(ctx, "pads", pads)) {
if (pads.size() != n_input_dims * 2) {
fail_shape_inference("Attribute pads has incorrect size");
}
} else {
pads.assign(n_input_dims * 2, 0); // pads的size是输入维度的2倍
const auto* auto_pad_attr = ctx.getAttribute("auto_pad");
if ((nullptr != auto_pad_attr) && (auto_pad_attr->s() != "VALID")) { // 如果pad mode是SAME_UPPER或者SAME_LOWER则进入该分支
int input_dims_size = static_cast<int>(n_input_dims);
for (int i = 0; i < input_dims_size; ++i) { // 计算每个axis的pads
int64_t residual = 0;
int64_t stride = strides[i];
if (stride > 1) { // 如果stride == 1，那么total_pad就是Wk - Stride = Wk - 1
if (!input_shape.dim(2 + i).has_dim_value()) {
continue;
}
residual = input_shape.dim(2 + i).dim_value();
while (residual >= stride) {
residual -= stride;
}
}
int64_t total_pad = residual == 0 ? effective_kernel_shape[i] - stride : effective_kernel_shape[i] - residual; // effective_kernel_shape = Wk
if (total_pad < 0)
total_pad = 0;
int64_t half_pad_small = total_pad >> 1;
int64_t half_pad_big = total_pad - half_pad_small;
if (auto_pad_attr->s() == "SAME_UPPER") { // pad mode is here
pads[i] = half_pad_small;
pads[i + input_dims_size] = half_pad_big;
} else if (auto_pad_attr->s() == "SAME_LOWER") {
pads[i] = half_pad_big;
pads[i + input_dims_size] = half_pad_small;
}
}
}
}
上面的代码里面最难理解14~23行，其实这里计算total_pad就是tensorflow中的\(P_a\)，以上面的公式，做更进一步的推导，
下面的分析有两种情况，对应代码第23行，
residual。SAME_UPPER和SAME_LOWER对应\(P_a\)是奇数的情况，如果是偶数，结果一样，如果是奇数，那么SAME_UPPER放小半部分\(\lfloor{P_a/2}\rfloor\)，SAME_LOWER放大半部分\(P_a - \lfloor{P_a/2}\rfloor\)。
在python - What is the difference between ‘SAME‘ and ‘VALID‘ padding in tf.nn.max_pool of tensorflow? - Stack Overflow上有一个比较具体的例子，可以看到，使用SAME模式可以使得stride刚好完整取完所有的input而不会有剩余或者短缺。
VALID 模式
inputs: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 (12 13)
|________________| dropped
|_________________|
SAME模式
pad| |pad
inputs: 0 |1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13|0 0
|________________|
|_________________|
|________________|
在这个例子中\(W_i = 13, W_k = 6, S = 5\)。
