CNN

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN or ConvNet) is a class of deep neural networks designed to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features from input images and other grid-like data. By using convolutional layers, pooling, and non-linear activations, CNNs excel at recognizing patterns such as edges, textures, and objects with far fewer parameters than fully connected networks. They are foundational to modern computer vision and have enabled breakthroughs in image classification, detection, segmentation, and many other perception tasks.

Key Features

  • •Convolutional layers that learn local receptive fields and spatially shared filters
  • •Hierarchical feature extraction from low-level edges to high-level object parts
  • •Parameter sharing and sparse connectivity, reducing model size and overfitting risk
  • •Pooling/subsampling layers for translation invariance and dimensionality reduction
  • •Support for multi-channel inputs (e.g., RGB images, feature maps)

Pricing

OpenSource

CNNs are an algorithmic architecture, not a commercial product; they are implemented in open-source frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch and can be used freely, though compute and cloud infrastructure incur costs.

Alternatives

Vision Transformer (ViT)MLP-MixerCapsule NetworksTraditional feature-based methods (SIFT, HOG + SVM)
