Capsule Network Routing refers to the process by which capsules in a capsule network forward their outputs to capsules in the next layer.
The routing ensures that the outputs of capsules containing similar pose and activation information are combined more strongly.
A well-known method is dynamic routing, in which the connection weights between capsules are iteratively adjusted to maximize feature agreement.
This makes the detection of objects and their parts more accurate, as the network models hierarchical relationships better.
