Dai, Jifeng, Haozhi Qi, Yuwen Xiong, Yi Li, Guodong Zhang, Han Hu, and Yichen Wei. 2017. “Deformable Convolutional Networks.” arXiv [cs.CV]. arXiv. http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.06211 This paper introduces a new form of convolution and pooling: deformable convolution and deformable RoI pooling. The authors claim these modules can be swapped into existing networks easily. These modules effectively have
