Computer Vision
CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)
An AI architecture designed to look at pictures, scanning them like a grid to find edges, shapes, and objects.
Definition
Deep neural network specialized for processing grid-like data such as images. Uses convolutional layers to automatically detect spatial features. The dominant architecture for computer vision before Vision Transformers.
Why it matters
The technology that enabled self-driving cars, face unlock, and medical image diagnosis.
