  • 用连续函数建模卷积核,按需生成任意分辨率滤波器。
  • 相比基线模型,精度提升1.2%-2.3%,参数和计算开销几乎不变。
  • 适合需要精细尺度适应的视觉任务,如医学图像分析、小目标检测。

传统卷积核定义在固定离散网格上,难以适应异构局部结构。现有自适应算子虽提升灵活性,但常将几何尺度变化与内容相关滤波耦合,且每位置生成核导致高计算开销。为此,我们提出连续相对尺度KAN(Core-KAN),一种相对尺度条件化的连续卷积算子。Core-KAN将输入特征映射至紧凑隐空间,通过轻量级尺度控制器预测相对于指数移动平均参考的局部尺度。基于KAN的生成器将深度卷积核基表示为连续坐标函数,使算子可在任意分辨率合成空间滤波器,而非局限于固定格点。不逐位置生成独立核,而是构建一组尺度条件化的核响应并根据预测尺度图进行插值。独立混合控制器依据局部内容组合插值后的基响应,显式解耦几何尺度适应与内容依赖滤波。结合轻量级逐点投影,该设计形成低秩动态卷积,能高效扩展至大核尺寸,并可无缝集成至层次化视觉主干网络。在三个代表性视觉任务上的实验表明,Core-KAN持续优于强基准卷积与动态核方法,仅带来微小参数与计算开销,提供了一种高效通用的连续尺度自适应卷积框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Conventional convolutional kernels are typically defined on fixed discrete grids, limiting their ability to accommodate heterogeneous local structures. Existing adaptive operators improve flexibility but often couple geometric scale variation with content-dependent filtering, while incurring high computational cost from per-location kernel generation. To decouple geometric scale adaptation from content-dependent filtering while avoiding expensive per-location kernel generation, we propose Continuous Relative-scale KAN (Core-KAN), a relative-scale-conditioned continuous convolution operator. Core-KAN maps input features into a compact latent basis space and uses a lightweight scale controller to predict local scales relative to an exponential moving average reference. A KAN-based generator represents depth-wise kernel bases as continuous coordinate functions, allowing the operator to synthesize spatial filters at arbitrary resolutions rather than being confined to a fixed lattice. Instead of synthesizing independent kernels at every location, it constructs a compact bank of scale-conditioned kernel responses and interpolates them according to the predicted local scale map. An independent mixing controller further combines the interpolated basis responses based on local content, explicitly decoupling geometric scale adaptation from content-dependent filtering. Together with lightweight pointwise projections, this design forms a low-rank dynamic convolution that scales efficiently with kernel size and integrates readily into hierarchical vision backbones. Experiments across three representative vision tasks show Core-KAN consistently outperforms strong convolutional and dynamic-kernel baselines with only marginal parameter and computational overhead, offering an efficient, general framework for continuous, scale-adaptive convolution.
