Pooling Operations

Average Pooling

Average Pooling is a pooling operation that calculates the average value for patches of a feature map, and uses it to create a downsampled (pooled) feature map. It is usually used after a convolutional layer. It adds a small amount of translation invariance - meaning translating the image by a small amount does not significantly affect the values of most pooled outputs. It extracts features more smoothly than Max Pooling, whereas max pooling extracts more pronounced features like edges.
