How to add a new custom layer at the beginning of CNN?

Hi,

I need to classify some images using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). I am using the AlexNet package for this.

Now, I want to customize AlexNet by adding a custom image processing function as its first layer.

I've checked the documentation (mainly this part) and only found ways of inserting Convolutional, Pooling and ReLU layers.

Is there a way to add a custom image processing function (apart from those three)?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Did you find how to do it? I need to do something simmilar: add a function before convolutional layer that takes an image as input and returns an image
