🎯 What is a Convolutional Neural Network?
A CNN is a type of deep learning model designed for processing grid-like data (e.g., images). It excels in tasks like image recognition, object detection, and pattern analysis through convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers.
Key Components of CNN
Convolutional Layer
Applies filters to detect features (edges, textures) in images.Pooling Layer
Reduces spatial dimensions (e.g., Max Pooling) to capture invariance.Fully Connected Layer
Classifies features into final output (e.g., labels).
Applications of CNN
🧠 Image Recognition
Used in facial detection, medical imaging, and security systems.📸 Object Detection
Identifies objects within images (e.g.,YOLO, SSD models).📊 Data Analysis
Analyzes 2D/3D data (e.g., satellite imagery, time-series).
Code Example with TensorFlow
import tensorflow as tf
model = tf.keras.Sequential([
tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(32, (3,3), activation='relu', input_shape=(28,28,1)),
tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D(2,2),
tf.keras.layers.Flatten(),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])
