Convolutional Neural Networks Explained

Now that we understand how exactly image data is pre-processed and received as input by a neural network, we'll explore one of the most popular and widely used types of networks for image data and computer vision tasks called convolutional neural networks or CNNs.

Generally speaking, a convolutional neural network is a network that contains convolutional layers. Convolutional layers have different characteristics and process data differently than the dense or fully connected layers we've discussed so far.
