Convolutional Neural Networks Explained: How AI Understands Images

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a type of neural network specifically designed to process image data, overcoming the limitations of traditional neural networks. Unlike standard networks that flatten images into long lists of numbers, CNNs utilize filters (or kernels) to scan local patches of an image, preserving spatial relationships and reducing the number of parameters. This approach enables CNNs to effectively learn features from images, making them foundational for applications like image classification, face recognition, and object detection. AI
