title: Channels ---> Filters: Direct Relationship?
body: <p>If you have 32 input channels and 16 filters, do channels 17-32 get dropped? Or do 16 random channels get dropped or do all of the channels pass on? What if there are more filters than input channels?</p>
  
  <p>I read that the first filter/kernel convolves with the corresponding channel in a convolution layer  --first channel with first filter, second channels with second filter, ect -- but <strong>what happens if the number of input channels is not equal to the number of filters?</strong>
