<p dir="auto">Hi there,</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm looking for atrous (dilated) transposed convolutions, but did not find much.<br>
There is a brief section in the <a href="https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/api_docs/python/nn.md#tfnnatrous_conv2dvalue-filters-rate-padding-namenone-atrous_conv2d"><code class="notranslate">tf.nn.atrous_conv2d</code></a> doc</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Used in conjunction with bilinear interpolation, it offers an alternative to conv2d_transpose in dense prediction tasks such as semantic image segmentation, optical flow computation, or depth estimation.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">But it is not quite clear how to proceed from there, it looks like tensorflow does not implement the transposed atrous convolution, yet?</p>
<p dir="auto">Can we have a <code class="notranslate">atrous_conv2d_transpose()</code> function, just like the existing <code class="notranslate">conv2d_transpose()</code> function? Or is there some simple way to get what I am looking for using other existing functions?</p>
<p dir="auto">I had a look at the <code class="notranslate">conv2d_transpose()</code> code, and it seems shouldn't be too difficult to adapt it to get a <code class="notranslate">atrous_conv2d_transpose()</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks.</p>
