  • In contrast to the somewhat abstract, group theoretical approach adopted by many papers, our work provides a new and more intuitive derivation of steerable convolutional neural networks in $d$ dimensions. This derivation is based on geometric arguments and fundamental principles of pattern matching. We offer an intuitive explanation for the appearance of the Clebsch--Gordan decomposition and spherical harmonic basis functions. Furthermore, we suggest a novel way to construct steerable convolution layers using interpolation kernels that improve upon existing implementation, and offer greater robustness to noisy data.
