The replicated feature approach
Use many different copies of the
same feature detector.
The copies all have slightly
different positions.
Could also replicate across scale
and orientation.
Tricky and expensive
Replication reduces the number
of free parameters to be learned.
Use several different feature types,
each with its own replicated pool of
detectors.
Allows each patch of image to be
represented in several ways.
The red connections all
have the same weight.
