Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep learning models designed to process data with grid-like structures, such as images. They are widely used in computer vision tasks like image classification, object detection, and more. Here's a breakdown of their key components and applications:
Core Concepts 📚
Convolutional Layer
Applies filters to detect spatial hierarchies (e.g., edges, textures).Pooling Layer
Reduces spatial dimensions (e.g., Max Pooling for downsampling).Fully Connected Layer
Final layer that performs classification based on extracted features.Activation Functions
Introduces non-linearity (e.g., ReLU, Sigmoid).
Applications 🚀
Image Recognition
CNNs excel in identifying objects within images.Video Analysis
Processes spatiotemporal data by extending CNNs to 3D volumes.Medical Imaging
Used for tumor detection and tissue classification.
