الوصف: Feature reuse has been a key technique in light-weight convolutional neural networks (CNNs) design. Current methods usually utilize a concatenation operator to keep large channel numbers cheaply (thus large network capacity) by reusing feature maps from other layers. Although concatenation is parameters- and FLOPs-free, its computational cost on hardware devices is non-negligible. To address this, this paper provides a new perspective to realize feature reuse via structural re-parameterization technique. A novel hardware-efficient RepGhost module is proposed for implicit feature reuse via re-parameterization, instead of using concatenation operator. Based on the RepGhost module, we develop our efficient RepGhost bottleneck and RepGhostNet. Experiments on ImageNet and COCO benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed RepGhostNet is much more effective and efficient than GhostNet and MobileNetV3 on mobile devices. Specially, our RepGhostNet surpasses GhostNet 0.5x by 2.5% Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet dataset with less parameters and comparable latency on an ARM-based mobile phone.
