What is meant by shift-invariant?

A shift-invariant system is one where a shift in the independent variable of the input signal causes a corresponding shift in the output signal. So if the response of a system to an input is , then the response to an input is .

What is shift-invariant in image processing?

Shift Invariance simply refers to the 'invariance' that a CNN has to recognising images. It allows the CNN to detect features/objects even if it does not look exactly like the images in it's training period. Shift invariance covers 'small' differences, such as movements shifts of a couple of pixels.

How do you know if shift is invariance?

If g(x + x0) = H[f(x + x0)] then the system is shift invariant, otherwise it is not.

What is shift equivariance?

So in this case the output of the cat detector should shift exactly in the same way as the cat is shifted So basically shift equivariance means that (click) sfx produces the same result as fsx. In other words f and S commute. F applied to shifted S is the same as S applied to f applied to the output of f.
