Overview: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)

In today's society, we see many cars obtain features that allow the vehicle to do more work than the driver, such as keeping the driver in the correct lane, auto-brake, self-parking, and we've recently seen 100% self-driving cars hit the road. But, the truth is, many of us are still wondering -- what kind of technologies allow the vehicle to know whether it's a red or green light -- or where the lines on the road are. And behind all of this is Convolutional Neural Networks. Convolutional Neural Networks, also known as CNNs, are a form of neural networks that are popular for image analysis, computer vision, data analysis or classification problems. CNNs are known to pick out certain patterns and sense them through using convolutional layers.
