Now that we know about the architecture of a CNN, let's see what type of layers are used to construct it. CNNs typically use the following types of layers:
Input layer: This layer takes the raw image data as it is.
Convolutional layer: This layer computes the convolutions between the neurons and the various patches in the input. If you need a quick refresher on image convolutions, you can check out this link:

. The convolutional layer basically computes the dot product between the weights and a small patch in the output of the previous layer.
Rectified Linear Unit layer: This layer applies an activation function to the output of the previous ...

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
