在查看代码的时候，看到有代码用到卷积层是tf.nn.conv2d，但是也有的使用的卷积层是tf.contrib.slim.conv2d，这两个函数调用的卷积层是否一致，在查看了API的文档，以及slim.conv2d的源码后，做如下总结：
首先是常见使用的tf.nn.conv2d的函数，其定义如下：
conv2d(
input,
filter,
strides,
padding,
use_cudnn_on_gpu=None,
data_format=None,
name=None
)
input指需要做卷积的输入图像，它要求是一个Tensor，具有[batch_size, in_height, in_width, in_channels]这样的shape，具体含义是[训练时一个batch的图片数量, 图片高度, 图片宽度, 图像通道数]，注意这是一个4维的Tensor，要求数据类型为float32和float64其中之一
filter用于指定CNN中的卷积核，它要求是一个Tensor，具有[filter_height, filter_width, in_channels, out_channels]这样的shape，具体含义是[卷积核的高度，卷积核的宽度，图像通道数，卷积核个数]，要求类型与参数input相同，有一个地方需要注意，第三维in_channels，就是参数input的第四维，这里是维度一致，不是数值一致。这里out_channels指定的是卷积核的个数，而in_channels说明卷积核的维度与图像的维度一致，在做卷积的时候，单个卷积核在不同维度上对应的卷积图片，然后将in_channels个通道上的结果相加，加上bias来得到单个卷积核卷积图片的结果。
strides为卷积时在图像每一维的步长，这是一个一维的向量，长度为4，对应的是在input的4个维度上的步长
padding是string类型的变量，只能是”SAME”,”VALID”其中之一，这个值决定了不同的卷积方式，SAME代表卷积核可以停留图像边缘，VALID表示不能，更详细的描述可以参考http://blog.csdn.net/mao_xiao_feng/article/details/53444333
use_cudnn_on_gpu指定是否使用cudnn加速，默认为true
data_format是用于指定输入的input的格式，默认为NHWC格式
结果返回一个Tensor，这个输出，就是我们常说的feature map
而对于tf.contrib.slim.conv2d，其函数定义如下：
convolution(inputs,
num_outputs,
kernel_size,
stride=1,
padding='SAME',
data_format=None,
rate=1,
activation_fn=nn.relu,
normalizer_fn=None,
normalizer_params=None,
weights_initializer=initializers.xavier_initializer(),
weights_regularizer=None,
biases_initializer=init_ops.zeros_initializer(),
biases_regularizer=None,
reuse=None,
variables_collections=None,
outputs_collections=None,
trainable=True,
scope=None):
inputs同样是指需要做卷积的输入图像
num_outputs指定卷积核的个数（就是filter的个数）
kernel_size用于指定卷积核的维度（卷积核的宽度，卷积核的高度）
stride为卷积时在图像每一维的步长
padding为padding的方式选择，VALID或者SAME
data_format是用于指定输入的input的格式
rate这个参数不是太理解，而且tf.nn.conv2d中也没有，对于使用atrous convolution的膨胀率（不是太懂这个atrous convolution）
activation_fn用于激活函数的指定，默认的为ReLU函数
normalizer_fn用于指定正则化函数
normalizer_params用于指定正则化函数的参数
weights_initializer用于指定权重的初始化程序
weights_regularizer为权重可选的正则化程序
biases_initializer用于指定biase的初始化程序
biases_regularizer: biases可选的正则化程序
reuse指定是否共享层或者和变量
variable_collections指定所有变量的集合列表或者字典
outputs_collections指定输出被添加的集合
trainable:卷积层的参数是否可被训练
scope:共享变量所指的variable_scope
在上述的API中，可以看出去除掉初始化的部分，那么两者并没有什么不同，只是tf.contrib.slim.conv2d提供了更多可以指定的初始化的部分，而对于tf.nn.conv2d而言，其指定filter的方式相比较tf.contrib.slim.conv2d来说，更加的复杂。去除掉少用的初始化部分，其实两者的API可以简化如下：
tf.contrib.slim.conv2d (inputs,
num_outputs,[卷积核个数]
kernel_size,[卷积核的高度，卷积核的宽度]
stride=1,
padding='SAME',
)
tf.nn.conv2d(
input,(与上述一致)
filter,([卷积核的高度，卷积核的宽度，图像通道数，卷积核个数])
strides,
padding,
)
可以说两者是几乎相同的，运行下列代码也可知这两者一致
import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow.contrib.slim as slim
x1 = tf.ones(shape=[1, 64, 64, 3])
w = tf.fill([5, 5, 3, 64], 1)
# print("rank is", tf.rank(x1))
y1 = tf.nn.conv2d(x1, w, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding='SAME')
y2 = slim.conv2d(x1, 64, [5, 5], weights_initializer=tf.ones_initializer, padding='SAME')
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
y1_value,y2_value,x1_value=sess.run([y1,y2,x1])
print("shapes are", y1_value.shape, y2_value.shape)
print(y1_value==y2_value)
print(y1_value)
print(y2_value)
最后配上tf.contrib.slim.conv2d的API英文版

"""Adds an N-D convolution followed by an optional batch_norm layer.
It is required that 1 <= N <= 3.
`convolution` creates a variable called `weights`, representing the
convolutional kernel, that is convolved (actually cross-correlated) with the
`inputs` to produce a `Tensor` of activations. If a `normalizer_fn` is
provided (such as `batch_norm`), it is then applied. Otherwise, if
`normalizer_fn` is None and a `biases_initializer` is provided then a `biases`
variable would be created and added the activations. Finally, if
`activation_fn` is not `None`, it is applied to the activations as well.
Performs atrous convolution with input stride/dilation rate equal to `rate`
if a value > 1 for any dimension of `rate` is specified. In this case
`stride` values != 1 are not supported.
Args:
inputs: A Tensor of rank N+2 of shape
`[batch_size] + input_spatial_shape + [in_channels]` if data_format does
not start with "NC" (default), or
`[batch_size, in_channels] + input_spatial_shape` if data_format starts
with "NC".
num_outputs: Integer, the number of output filters.
kernel_size: A sequence of N positive integers specifying the spatial
dimensions of the filters. Can be a single integer to specify the same
value for all spatial dimensions.
stride: A sequence of N positive integers specifying the stride at which to
compute output. Can be a single integer to specify the same value for all
spatial dimensions. Specifying any `stride` value != 1 is incompatible
with specifying any `rate` value != 1.
padding: One of `"VALID"` or `"SAME"`.
data_format: A string or None. Specifies whether the channel dimension of
the `input` and output is the last dimension (default, or if `data_format`
does not start with "NC"), or the second dimension (if `data_format`
starts with "NC"). For N=1, the valid values are "NWC" (default) and
"NCW". For N=2, the valid values are "NHWC" (default) and "NCHW".
For N=3, the valid values are "NDHWC" (default) and "NCDHW".
rate: A sequence of N positive integers specifying the dilation rate to use
for atrous convolution. Can be a single integer to specify the same
value for all spatial dimensions. Specifying any `rate` value != 1 is
incompatible with specifying any `stride` value != 1.
activation_fn: Activation function. The default value is a ReLU function.
Explicitly set it to None to skip it and maintain a linear activation.
normalizer_fn: Normalization function to use instead of `biases`. If
`normalizer_fn` is provided then `biases_initializer` and
`biases_regularizer` are ignored and `biases` are not created nor added.
default set to None for no normalizer function
normalizer_params: Normalization function parameters.
weights_initializer: An initializer for the weights.
weights_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the weights.
biases_initializer: An initializer for the biases. If None skip biases.
biases_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the biases.
reuse: Whether or not the layer and its variables should be reused. To be
able to reuse the layer scope must be given.
variables_collections: Optional list of collections for all the variables or
a dictionary containing a different list of collection per variable.
outputs_collections: Collection to add the outputs.
trainable: If `True` also add variables to the graph collection
`GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see tf.Variable).
scope: Optional scope for `variable_scope`.
Returns:
A tensor representing the output of the operation.
Raises:
ValueError: If `data_format` is invalid.
ValueError: Both 'rate' and `stride` are not uniformly 1.
