Study Notes

CNN vs. Fully-Connected Network

CNNs are better than FCNs when dealing with images because they preserve the dimensional relationships between image pixels, whereas FCNs rearrange them, resulting in the loss of this dimensional relationship.
CNNs have a smaller number of parameters to train, which means faster and more accurate training.

CNN Construction

The input layer receives raw pixel values of the input image and passes them forward to subsequent layers for feature extraction and classification.
Convolutional layers apply specified filters to the input data to extract relevant features, with each filter searching for one feature in the image.
Activation functions are applied after convolution to add non-linearity to the network.
Pooling layers (max or avg) reduce the dimensions of feature maps obtained from convolutional layers, extracting the most important information.
Flatten layers serve as a bridge between convolutional and fully connected layers, enabling the network to process extracted features and make predictions.

Convolutional Layers

Each filter extracts one feature from the image, and the network determines the feature during training.
Each filter produces one feature map, and applying multiple filters detects multiple features from the image.
The number of trainable parameters in a layer is calculated by counting the number of filter parameters.

Convolutional Operation

The mathematical equation of a filter is Y = w * X + b, making the convolution operation a linear function.
