benchmark = ConvolutionBenchmark()
benchmark.replicate_original_script("DS_Ptflops")  # MobileNets baseline
```

### **Compare Against Deformable Convolutions**
```python
from advance_conv_benchmarks import ConvolutionBenchmark
from advance_conv_benchmarks.layers import DeformableConv2D, TraditionalConv2D

benchmark = ConvolutionBenchmark()

# Get exact numbers for your paper's related work section
results = benchmark.compare_all(
    input_shape=(224, 224, 3),
    output_channels=64,
    kernel_size=3
)

# Generate LaTeX table for your paper
benchmark.print_comparison(results, style="academic_latex")
```

### **Research-Grade Analysis**
```python
# Detailed breakdown suitable for academic papers
detailed = benchmark.detailed_analysis(
    DeformableConv2D, 
    input_shape=(224, 224, 3),
    output_channels=64,
    kernel_size=3
)

print(f"Parameters: {detailed['total_params']:,}")
print(f"FLOPs: {detailed['total_flops']:,}")
print(f"Memory: {detailed['memory_footprint']:.2f}MB")
```
