Convolution Neural

Networks (CNNs)
By PRATHEESH KUMAR N
• Convolution plays a key role in convolutional neural
networks (CNNs).
• CNNs are a type of deep network commonly used to analyze
images.
• CNNs eliminate the need for manual feature extraction, which
is why they work very well for complex problems such as
image classification and medical image analysis.
• CNNs are effective for non-image data analysis such as audio,
time-series, and signal data.
CNNs have several layers, the most common of which
are convolution, ReLu, and pooling.
Layers in a convolutional neural network (CNN)

• Convolution layers act as filters—each layer applies a filter

and extracts specific features from the image.
• These filter values are learned by the network when the
network is trained.
• The initial layers typically extract low-level features while the
deeper layers extract high-level features from the data.
