Our experiments show that, by replacing 3-D filters with cross-hair filters in our network, we achieve over 23% improvement in speed, lower memory footprint, lower network complexity which prevents overfitting and comparable accuracy (with a Cox-Wilcoxon paired sample significance test p-value of 0. 07 when compared to full 3-D filters).
