The square kernel is a standard unit for contemporary Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)

… However, the receptive field in the human … is … like a circle.

… propose using circle kernels with isotropic receptive fields for the convolution, and our training takes approximately equivalent amount of calculation

… reparameterize … thus taking no extra computation as well as the number of parameter overhead for the testing.

… approach exhibits highly competitive performance.

… ImageNet with standard data augmentation, our approach dramatically boosts the performance of MobileNetV3-Small by 5.20% top-1 accuracy and 3.39% top-5 accuracy, and boosts the performance of MobileNetV3-Large by 2.16% top-1 accuracy and 1.18% top-5 accuracy.
