Number of Features

Base number of convolutional filters in the network.

This controls the initial number of feature maps (filters) in the first layer of the U-Net. More features mean a more powerful model.

Fewer features (32-48)

  • Smaller, faster model

  • Less memory usage

  • May miss complex noise patterns

More features (64-128)

  • More powerful model

  • Better at learning complex patterns

  • Requires more GPU memory and training time

Recommendations

  • 64 is a good default

  • Reduce to 32 if memory is limited

  • Increase to 96-128 for complex structured noise
