Rescale-Symmetric 1D

1-D input layer with rescale-symmetric normalization

Since R2024b

• 

Libraries:
Deep Learning Toolbox / Deep Learning Layers / Input Layer Normalizations

Description

The Rescale-Symmetric 1D block inputs 1-dimensional data to a neural network and rescales the input to be in the range [-1, 1].

The input data can have a single dimension of only channel data or can have two dimensions corresponding to channel data and time steps, in that order.

The exportNetworkToSimulink function generates this block to represent a featureInputLayer or sequenceInputLayer object that has the Normalization property set to "rescale-symmetric".

Limitations

• The Layer parameter does not support objects that have the SplitComplexInputs property set to 1 (true).

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Input data

2-dimensional array | 1-dimensional array

Input data to normalize. The data must have one or two dimensions corresponding to the format that you specify with the Data format parameter.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

Output

Port_1 — Normalized output data

2-dimensional array | 1-dimensional array

Normalized output data. The output data has one or two dimensions corresponding to the format that you specify with the Data format parameter.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

Parameters

To edit block parameters interactively, use the Property Inspector. From the Simulink^® Toolstrip, on the Simulation tab, in the Prepare gallery, select Property Inspector.

Main

Layer — Corresponding layer object

layer (default) | featureInputLayer object | sequenceInputLayer object

Specify the name of a workspace variable that contains a featureInputLayer or sequenceInputLayer object that comes from a trained network and has the Normalization property set to "rescale-symmetric". The Rescale-Symmetric 1D block configures itself by using the properties of the object and calculates the block output by using the Min and Max properties of the object.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: Layer

Type: workspace variable

Values: featureInputLayer object | sequenceInputLayer object

Default: 'layer'

Data format — Format of input data

CT (default) | C

Data format for the input data. The options use the same notation as the fmt argument of the dlarray object, except layer blocks do not support the Batch (B) dimension and instead assume an observation number of 1.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: DataFormat

Type: character vector

Values: 'CT' | 'C'

Default: 'CT'

Data Types

Output minimum — Minimum output value for range checking

[] (default) | scalar

Lower value of the output range that the software checks.

The software uses the minimum to perform:

• Parameter range checking (see Specify Minimum and Maximum Values for Block Parameters (Simulink)) for some blocks.

• Simulation range checking (see Specify Signal Ranges (Simulink) and Enable Simulation Range Checking (Simulink)).

• Automatic scaling of fixed-point data types.

• Optimization of the code that you generate from the model. This optimization can remove algorithmic code and affect the results of some simulation modes such as SIL or external mode. For more information, see Optimize using the specified minimum and maximum values (Embedded Coder).

Tips

Output minimum does not saturate or clip the actual output signal. Use the Saturation (Simulink) block instead.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	OutMin
Values:	'[]' (default) | scalar in quotes

Output maximum — Maximum output value for range checking

[] (default) | scalar

Upper value of the output range that the software checks.

The software uses the maximum value to perform:

• Parameter range checking (see Specify Minimum and Maximum Values for Block Parameters (Simulink)) for some blocks.

• Simulation range checking (see Specify Signal Ranges (Simulink) and Enable Simulation Range Checking (Simulink)).

• Automatic scaling of fixed-point data types.

• Optimization of the code that you generate from the model. This optimization can remove algorithmic code and affect the results of some simulation modes such as SIL or external mode. For more information, see Optimize using the specified minimum and maximum values (Embedded Coder).

Tips

Output maximum does not saturate or clip the actual output signal. Use the Saturation (Simulink) block instead.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	OutMax
Values:	'[]' (default) | scalar in quotes

Output data type — Data type of output

Inherit: Inherit via internal rule (default) | Inherit: Inherit via back propagation | Inherit: Same as first input | <data type expression>

Choose the data type for the output. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType. When you choose Inherit: Inherit via internal rule, Simulink chooses a data type to balance numerical accuracy, performance, and generated code size, while taking into account the properties of the embedded target hardware.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	OutDataTypeStr
Values:	'Inherit: Inherit via internal rule' (default) | 'Inherit: Keep MSB' | 'Inherit: Keep LSB' | 'Inherit: Inherit via back propagation' | 'Inherit: Same as first input' | 'Inherit: Same as accumulator' | <data type expression>

Lock output data type setting against changes by the fixed-point tools — Option to prevent fixed-point tools from overriding Output data type

off (default) | on

Select this parameter to prevent the fixed-point tools from overriding the Output data type you specify on the block. For more information, see Use Lock Output Data Type Setting (Fixed-Point Designer).

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	LockScale
Values:	'off' (default) | 'on'

Integer rounding mode — Rounding mode for fixed-point operations

Floor (default) | Ceiling | Convergent | Nearest | Round | Simplest | Zero

Specify the rounding mode for fixed-point operations. For more information, see Rounding Modes (Fixed-Point Designer).

Block parameters always round to the nearest representable value. To control the rounding of a block parameter, enter an expression using a MATLAB^® rounding function into the mask field.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	RndMeth
Values:	'Floor' (default) | 'Ceiling' | 'Convergent' | 'Nearest' | 'Round' | 'Simplest' | 'Zero'

Saturate on integer overflow — Method of overflow action

off (default) | on

Specify whether overflows saturate or wrap.

• on — Overflows saturate to either the minimum or maximum value that the data type can represent.

• off — Overflows wrap to the appropriate value that the data type can represent.

For example, the maximum value that the signed 8-bit integer int8 can represent is 127. Any block operation result greater than this maximum value causes overflow of the 8-bit integer.

• With this parameter selected, the block output saturates at 127. Similarly, the block output saturates at a minimum output value of -128.

• With this parameter cleared, the software interprets the overflow-causing value as int8, which can produce an unintended result. For example, a block result of 130 (binary 1000 0010) expressed as int8 is -126.

Tips

• Consider selecting this parameter when your model has a possible overflow and you want explicit saturation protection in the generated code.

• Consider clearing this parameter when you want to optimize efficiency of your generated code. Clearing this parameter also helps you to avoid overspecifying how a block handles out-of-range signals. For more information, see Troubleshoot Signal Range Errors (Simulink).

• When you select this parameter, saturation applies to every internal operation on the block, not just the output or result.

• In general, the code generation process can detect when overflow is not possible. In this case, the code generator does not produce saturation code.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	SaturateOnIntegerOverflow
Values:	'off' (default) | 'on'

Min — Data type of minimum value

Inherit: Inherit via back propagation (default) | Inherit: Inherit from 'Constant value' | <data type expression>

The block casts the value of the Min property of the object that you specify with the Layer parameter to this data type. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	MinDataTypeStr
Values:	'Inherit: Inherit via back propagation' (default) | 'Inherit: Inherit from 'Constant value'' | <data type expression>

Max — Data type of maximum value

Inherit: Inherit via back propagation (default) | Inherit: Inherit from 'Constant value' | <data type expression>

The block casts the value of the Max property of the object that you specify with the Layer parameter to this data type. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType.

Choose the data type for the output of the Divide (Simulink) block inside each Neighborhood Processing Subsystem (Simulink) block inside the Rescale-Symmetric 1D block. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType. When you choose Inherit: Inherit via internal rule, Simulink chooses a data type to balance numerical accuracy, performance, and generated code size, while taking into account the properties of the embedded target hardware.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter:	DivideOutDataTypeStr
Values:	'Inherit: Inherit via internal rule' (default) | 'Inherit: Keep MSB' | 'Inherit: Match scaling' | 'Inherit: Inherit via back propagation' | 'Inherit: Same as first input' | <data type expression>
