Keras getting wrong output shape

Question

For the following CNN

model = Sequential()
model.add(Convolution2D(64, 3, 3, border_mode='same', input_shape=(3, 256, 256)))
# now model.output_shape == (None, 64, 256, 256)

# add a 3x3 convolution on top, with 32 output filters:
model.add(Convolution2D(32, 3, 3, border_mode='same'))
# now model.output_shape == (None, 32, 256, 256)
print(model.summary())

However model summary gives the following output

____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Layer (type)                     Output Shape          Param #     Connected to

Why am i getting the given output shape ?

Answer 1

It is a problem caused by the setting of input_shape. In your current setting, you want to input 256x256 with 3 channels. However, Keras thinks you are giving 3x256 image with 256 channels. There several ways to correct it.

• Option 1: Change the order in input_shape

• Option 2: Specify image_dim_ordering in your layers

• Option 3: Modify the keras configuration file by changing 'tf' to 'th' in your ~/.keras/keras.json
