Convolutional Neural Networks


Another important set of neural networks in deep learning is CNN. They are designed specifically for image recognition and classification. CNNs have multiple layers of neural networks that extract information from images and determine the class they fall into.

For example, a CNN can detect whether the image is a cat or not if it is trained with a set of images of cats. We will see the architecture and working of CNN in this section.

For a program, any image is a just a set of RGB numbers in a vector format. If we can make a neural network understand the pattern, it can form a CNN and detect images.

Regular neural nets are universal mathematical approximators that take an input, transform it through a series of functions, and derive the output. However, these regular neural networks do not scale well for an image analysis. For a 32 x 32 pixel RGB image, the hidden layer would have 32*32*3=3072 weights. The regular neural nets work fine for this case. However, when...
