What is feature maps in convolutional neural network?
Feature maps are generated by applying Filters or Feature detectors to the input image or the feature map output of the prior layers. Feature map visualization will provide insight into the internal representations for specific input for each of the Convolutional layers in the model.
What is a feature map used for?
Feature Mapping is one such process of representing features along with the relevancy of these features on a graph. This ensures that the features are visualized and their corresponding information is visually available. In this manner, the irrelevant features are excluded and only the relevant ones are included.
Is CNN best for feature extraction?
CNN provides better image recognition when its neural network feature extraction becomes deeper (contains more layers), at the cost of the learning method complexities that had made CNN inefficient and neglected for some time.
Does CNN need feature selection?
Feature selection is an important technique to improve neural network performances due to the redundant attributes and the massive amount in original data sets. In this paper, a CNN with two convolutional layers followed by a dropout, then two fully connected layers, is equipped with a feature selection algorithm.
