🔍 What is Image Recognition?
Image recognition is a field of artificial intelligence that enables machines to identify objects, people, scenes, and activities within digital images. It leverages algorithms and neural networks to analyze visual data and extract meaningful information.

Key Technologies in Image Recognition

Here are some foundational methods and frameworks driving modern image recognition systems:

  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
    🧠 CNNs are designed to automatically learn and extract features from images through layers of convolution and pooling operations.

  • Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)
    🧪 GANs consist of two neural networks competing to generate realistic images. One network creates images, while the other evaluates their authenticity.
