# mx.nd.space.to.depth¶

## Description¶

Rearranges(permutes) blocks of spatial data into depth. Similar to ONNX SpaceToDepth operator: https://github.com/onnx/onnx/blob/master/docs/Operators.md#SpaceToDepth The output is a new tensor where the values from height and width dimension are moved to the depth dimension. The reverse of this operation is depth_to_space. .. math:: begin{gather*} x prime = reshape(x, [N, C, H / block_size, block_size, W / block_size, block_size]) \ x prime prime = transpose(x prime, [0, 3, 5, 1, 2, 4]) \ y = reshape(x prime prime, [N, C * (block_size ^ 2), H / block_size, W / block_size]) end{gather*} [batch, channels, height, width] and $$y$$ is the output tensor of layout $$[N, C * (block\_size ^ 2), H / block\_size, W / block\_size]$$

Defined in src/operator/tensor/matrix_op.cc:L1019

Example:

x = [[[[0, 6, 1, 7, 2, 8],
[12, 18, 13, 19, 14, 20],
[3, 9, 4, 10, 5, 11],
[15, 21, 16, 22, 17, 23]]]]
space_to_depth(x, 2) = [[[[0, 1, 2],
[3, 4, 5]],
[[6, 7, 8],
[9, 10, 11]],
[[12, 13, 14],
[15, 16, 17]],
[[18, 19, 20],
[21, 22, 23]]]]
