The CNN Pipeline

This project implements a standard CNN workflow designed for high-accuracy image classification:

1. Input Layer: Handles raw pixel data (RGB/Grayscale).

2. Convolutional Layer: Applies filters to create feature maps using the operation: $$FeatureMap = f(Input \ast Kernel + bias)$$

3. Activation (ReLU): Introduces non-linearity to the system via $f(x) = \max(0, x)$.

4. Pooling: Reduces spatial dimensions (Max/Average Pooling) to decrease computational load and prevent overfitting.

5. Flattening & Fully Connected: Converts multi-dimensional maps into 1D vectors for final classification.
