Deep Learning Fundamentals for Image Classification

Deep Learning Fundamentals

Before building deep learning models, it is important to understand the core concepts used in image classification. Unlike traditional machine learning algorithms, deep learning models learn patterns directly from image data without manually defining features.

In this module, you will learn about digital images, image preprocessing, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), activation functions, pooling layers, and model evaluation. These concepts provide the foundation for implementing the Image Classification System.

Understanding Digital Images

A digital image is made up of thousands of tiny units called pixels. Each pixel stores color information, and together they form the complete image.

The CIFAR-10 dataset contains RGB images, where each image has three color channels:

  • Red (R)
  • Green (G)
  • Blue (B)

Each pixel value ranges from 0 to 255, representing the intensity of each color.

For this project, every image has a size of 32 × 32 × 3.
