Convolutional Layers and Filters - Deep Learning Dictionary

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a widely popular class of networks that are known for their efficiency in processing image data, and the powerhouse of convolutional neural networks is their convolutional layers.

These layers have convolutional filters, which intuitively, we can think of as having the specialized ability to detect patterns in data. This pattern detection is what makes CNNs so useful for image analysis.
