A convolutional neural network (CNN) is a deep learning architecture specifically designed for processing grid-like data, such as images. It extracts hierarchical features by applying convolutional operations, enabling the model to recognize patterns like edges, textures, and objects. The structure of a CNN includes layers like convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. Convolutional layers use filters to scan the input data, generating feature maps that highlight relevant details. Pooling layers reduce the size of these maps, preserving important features while lowering computational requirements. CNNs are widely used in tasks like image recognition, object detection, and segmentation. For example, in healthcare, they assist in analyzing X-rays and MRIs to detect abnormalities, improving diagnostic accuracy. They are also integral to autonomous systems like self-driving cars.
