That’s it! Note that is termed as the kernel size. We then multiply the values in this chunk element-by-element with the convolution filter (also sized x ) and then add them all to obtain a single output. In image processing, to calculate convolution at a particular location, we extract x sized chunk from the image centered at location. If they find the features they are looking for, they produce a high activation.Ĭonvolution can be thought of as a weighted sum between two signals ( in terms of signal processing jargon ) or functions ( in terms of mathematics ).

The neurons in this layer look for specific features. The convolutional layer can be thought of as the eyes of the CNN. You can also have a sigmoid layer to give you a probability of the image being a cat. The output can be a softmax layer indicating whether there is a cat or something else. In the above diagram, the input is fed to the network of stacked Conv, Pool and Dense layers. To make it work for these images, either we have to train separate MLPs for different locations or we have to make sure that we have all these variations in the training set as well, which I would say is difficult, if not impossible. The classifier predicts it correctly for the centered image but fails in the other two cases. Given below is an example of the number 7 being pushed to the top-left and bottom-right.

We want the network to be Translation-Invariant. If the images in the test set are off-center, then the MLP approach fails miserably. In our training dataset, all images are centered. But there was a problem with that approach. The performance was pretty good as we achieved 98.3% accuracy on test data. In our previous article on Image Classification, we used a Multilayer Perceptron on the MNIST digits dataset. We will use the MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets for illustrating various concepts. We discussed Feedforward Neural Networks, Activation Functions, and Basics of Keras in the previous tutorials. We will also see how data augmentation helps in improving the performance of the network. In this tutorial, we will learn the basics of Convolutional Neural Networks ( CNNs ) and how to use them for an Image Classification task.
