CNN Receptive Field Explained | Deep Learning Animation

In this video, we explore the critical concept of the receptive field in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Understanding the receptive field is essential for grasping how CNNs process images and detect patterns. We will explain both the theoretical and effective receptive fields, highlighting how they influence network performance and design. We start by defining the receptive field and its importance in CNNs, demonstrating how it grows with each convolutional layer. We'll use examples to compute the receptive field for different network configurations and show how pooling layers can significantly expand it. Finally, we'll delve into the differences between theoretical and effective receptive fields, providing insights on how CNNs utilize information during training.
