Probably the area where deep learning (DL) has had the biggest impact is in image processing. The dream that software can run a simulation of the neocortex using an artificial neural network is decades old, leading to many disappointments as well as breakthroughs. The human visual perceptual system achieves remarkable object recognition performance, even in noisy environments or under geometric transformations or background variation. For years the computer vision ...
