Thank you again for your prompt reply.
The the “fusion layer” your own implementation to concatenate the output of both images after passing them through a conv layer?
The “fusion layer” takes places between layer2 and layer3 of the pre-trained resnet50 model. For self.conv2 in my custom DeepFusionNetwork, I am simply reducing the output of 1024, which is generated from the concatenation, to 512, to match the input of layer2 in resnet50.
I hope that this makes sense and that I have done that correctly.

If so, could you check the statistics of these activations?
By this, do you mean something like this?
If they are largely different, you might need to normalize them before concatenating.
In terms of normalisation, I’m assuming you mean something like this (i.e. there is no special means of normalisation required just because I am concatenating features)
