Bottleneck Residual Blocks
Deep ResNet Scaling with Bottleneck Blocks
Bottleneck blocks support deeper ResNet configurations while controlling computational complexity:
- ResNet-50: Replaces each two-layer block of the 34-layer baseline with a three-layer bottleneck block, uses projection shortcuts (Option B) when dimensions increase, and requires FLOPs.
- ResNet-101 and ResNet-152: Stack additional three-layer bottleneck blocks, especially at feature-map sizes and . ResNet-152 requires FLOPs, less than VGG-16 at FLOPs and VGG-19 at FLOPs.
Across these bottleneck ResNet configurations, increasing depth avoids the degradation problem and improves accuracy.
