design questions

[simonbuehler]

hi,

inspiring work! i'm trying it to adopt it for pokemon cards but some questions popped up, maybe you can enlighten me ;)

• is there a reason not to uses the color images but clone the grayscale version on all color channels ?
• is there a reason that not the resnet101 (224,224) dimension is used but 244x244?
• are the performance gains to inline the generation of the augmented images and not generate /read them from disk?
• did you test Prototypical networks ?

  edit:
• where does the Blur pooling mechanism hiappen?

greets!
