tensorflow identity

Return a tensor with the same shape and contents as the input tensor or value.
Args:
input: A Tensor.
name: A name for the operation (optional).
Returns:

A Tensor. Has the same type as input.

举例：

a = tf.random_uniform([2,3], minval = 10, maxval = 11)
sess.run(a)

输出：

array([[ 10.32342529,  10.05036354,  10.71219158],
       [ 10.92466164,  10.04347134,  10.30799294]], dtype=float32)

b = tf.identity(a)
sess.run(b)

输出:

array([[ 10.19113731,  10.08955765,  10.86665058],
       [ 10.10772514,  10.18272018,  10.47456551]], dtype=float32)

总结：两个输出是一样的，所以identity可以理解完成了tensor的复制，产生了一个同样形状和内容的tensor
