Usage
One execution
import { directConvolution, fftConvolution } from 'ml-convolution';
const input = [0, 1, 2, 3];
const kernel = [-1, 1, -1];
const outputDirect = directConvolution(input, kernel); // [-1, -1, -2, 1]
const outputFFT = fftConvolution(input, kernel); // [-1, -1, -2, 1]
The functions both take an optional third argument to determine the way borders
are processed. The default value, CONSTANT
, will consider that the values out
of the bounds are all 0. If it is set to CUT
, borders will be ignored and the
result will be smaller than te input by kernel.length - 1
:
const outputDirect = directConvolution(input, kernel, 'CUT'); // [-1, -2]
Optimized, multiple executions
If you need to execute the convolution many times with the same kernel and input length, you should consider instead to use the class-based API:
import { DirectConvolution, FFTConvolution } from 'ml-convolution';
// const input = [0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 0];
const kernel = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3];
// First parameter is the size of the inputs and allows to pre-allocate an array with the correct size
const direct = new DirectConvolution(8, kernel, 'CUT');
// The convolve function mutates the same array at each execution
direct.convolve([0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 0]); // [ 127.5, 153, 153, 76.5, 25.5, 0 ]
direct.convolve([255, 0, 0, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0]); // [ 25.5, 76.5, 127.5, 153, 76.5, 25.5 ]
const fft = new FFTConvolution(8, kernel, 'CONSTANT');
fft.convolve([0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 0]); // [ 76.5, 127.5, 153, 153, 76.5, 25.5, 0, 0 ]
fft.convolve([255, 0, 0, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0]); // [ 51, 25.5, 76.5, 127.5, 153, 76.5, 25.5, 0 ]
Benchmark
With small kernels, direct convolution is usually faster:
Current results suggest that from a kernel size around 64, FFT convolution should be used.
