Conv3D Output Size Calculator (Video & Medical)

Output D×H×W of 3-D convolutions for video clips and CT/MRI volumes — with voxel/frame budgeting.

Output depth
Output W=H
Output voxels (K)

Defaults are a C3D/R3D video block: 16-frame 112×112 clips with 3×3×3 kernels. Medical volumes (e.g. 64×512×512 CT) use the same arithmetic with anisotropic kernels because slice spacing ≠ pixel spacing.

Formula

each axis independently: out = ⌊(in + 2p − k) / s⌋ + 1 — depth (time/slices) and space may use different k, s

About Conv3D Output Size Calculator (Video & Medical)

Add a third axis and convolution arithmetic stays the same — but the budgets explode, which is why every video and medical-imaging architect lives in this calculator's regime. Each axis (time or slice depth, height, width) applies the floor-division formula independently, and the voxel count output shows why: a modest 16×112×112 clip already produces 200K voxels per channel per layer. The defaults match C3D-style video blocks; radiology volumes use the identical math with anisotropic kernels because CT slice spacing rarely equals in-plane pixel spacing.

Frequently asked questions

Why do video models use different temporal and spatial strides?+

Information density differs: adjacent frames are nearly identical while spatial detail matters, so architectures like R(2+1)D and SlowFast downsample space aggressively but keep temporal resolution longer (or split into slow/fast pathways). Separate kt/st fields here model exactly that.

What is a (2+1)D convolution?+

A factorization: a 1×k×k spatial conv followed by a kt×1×1 temporal conv, replacing the full 3-D kernel. It cuts parameters and adds a nonlinearity between space and time, outperforming plain 3-D convs at equal budget in the R(2+1)D paper.

How should kernels handle anisotropic medical volumes?+

Match the physical spacing: with 5 mm slices and 1 mm pixels, a 3×3×3 kernel spans 15×3×3 mm — badly lopsided. Common fixes are 1×3×3 kernels in early layers or resampling the volume to isotropic spacing before the network.

Why does 3-D conv memory explode so fast?+

Activations scale with D×H×W per channel: doubling each axis is 8× memory, and backprop stores activations per layer. This is why 3-D U-Nets train on patches (e.g. 96³ crops) rather than whole CT volumes, stitching predictions at inference.
