What do channels refer to in a convolutional neural network?
Can you provide an example of how channels work in a CNN?
Sure. Let's say we have an input image of a cat. The first set of filters in the CNN might learn to detect edges or lines in the image. Each of these filters creates a new channel, which represents the edges or lines found by that particular filter. The next set of filters might learn to detect more complex features such as curves or shapes, and each filter in that set would create a new channel representing those features.
