CNN Architecture

Convolutional neural networks [ CITATION Lec98 \l 2057 ], also known as CNNs, are a specialised
kind of feed forward network that have the power of classifying 2D and 3D images[ CITATION
Tan18 \l 2057 ] as well as identifying objects with similar functionality to the human brain. The
architecture consists of three basic components, namely convolution Layer as the learning agents,
with some Pooling Layer and the Fully Connected Layer as the classification layers. Each unit of the
architecture is used to apply filter through overlapping regions, starting from the convolution layers
till the fully connected layers, to extract the maximum number of features[ CITATION Jun20 \l 2057 ].

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning in artificial intelligence (AI) that

has networks capable of learning unsupervised from data that is unstructured or
unlabeled. Link: https://data-flair.training/blogs/download-face-mask-detector-

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Bhimsen

Rajkumarsingh, for his continuous support and guidance throughout the thesis.

I would like to thank University of Mauritius for providing the resources in the completion of
my final year project. I would also thank my friends for their support and contribution. Their
presence always creates new ideas and brings solution to my work.

Last but not the least, I would like to thank my family for supporting me spiritually
throughout the accomplishment of the degree journey and my life in general.
