On Convolutional Neural Networks and Photographic Lenses
Convolutional neural networks are camera lenses to a computer.
The analogy does not stop at the point that both compress visual information:
- The evolution of convolutional neural network architectures resembles the evolution of camera lenses.
- The P-R curve showing the performance of a convolutional neural network is strikingly similar to the MTF curve evaluating lens performance.
