2. Deep learning technology and convolutional neural network principle
2.1 Overview of Deep Learning
Deep learning is a machine learning method that imitates the neural structure of the human brain. It performs nonlinear transformation and feature extraction on data through a multi-layer neural network to achieve complex task learning. Deep learning has achieved remarkable results in speech recognition, natural language processing, image recognition and other fields. The advantage of deep learning methods is that they can automatically learn multi-level feature representations, avoiding the difficulty of manually designing features.
Deep learning methods mainly include convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory network (LSTM) and so on. This article focuses on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) because of their outstanding performance in the field of image recognition.
2.2 The principle of convolutional neural network (CNN)
Convolutional neural network (CNN) is a special neural network structure with local receptive field, weight sharing and multi-channel characteristics, which can efficiently process image data. CNN consists of multiple layers of neurons, including convolutional layers, activation function layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. Below we detail the principles and functions of these layers.
2.2.1 Convolution layer
The convolution layer is the core component of CNN, which is responsible for convolution operation on the input image to extract the local features of the image. The convolution operation generates a new feature map by sliding a small-sized convolution kernel on the image for local weighted summation. The weight of the convolution kernel is learned through training data, which can capture features such as edges and textures in the image.
2.2.2 Activation function layer
The activation function layer is located after the convolutional layer and is responsible for introducing nonlinear activation
The activation function layer is located after the convolutional layer and is responsible for introducing a nonlinear activation function so that the neural network can fit complex nonlinear relationships. Commonly used activation functions include ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit), Sigmoid, and Tanh. In convolutional neural networks, the ReLU activation function is widely used due to its high computational efficiency and its ability to effectively alleviate the problem of gradient disappearance.
2.2.3 Pooling layer
The pooling layer is located after the convolutional layer and the activation function layer, and is responsible for downsampling the feature map, thereby reducing the spatial size of the data and reducing the computational burden. The pooling operation can be maximum pooling, average pooling, etc., and its purpose is to preserve salient features while enhancing the translation invariance of the model.
2.2.4 Fully connected layer
The fully connected layer is located at the end of the convolutional neural network and is responsible for fusing the multi-layer feature maps and outputting the final classification results. The neurons in the fully connected layer are connected to all the neurons in the previous layer to realize the integration of global information. Usually, a flattening layer (Flatten) is added before the fully connected layer to flatten the multi-dimensional feature map into a one-dimensional vector.
2.2.5 Loss function and optimization algorithm
The loss function is used to measure the difference between the prediction result of the neural network and the real label. The commonly used loss functions include cross-entropy loss, mean square error loss, etc. The optimization algorithm updates the network weights by minimizing the loss function. Common optimization algorithms include stochastic gradient descent (SGD), momentum (Momentum), Adam, etc.
So far, we have introduced the basic principles and components of convolutional neural networks. In the next part, we will use this as a basis to design and implement an image recognition system based on deep learning.
3. Design of image recognition system
3.1 System architecture and design ideas
The image recognition system based on deep learning designed in this paper aims to realize accurate recognition and classification of objects in images. In order to achieve this goal, the system adopts convolutional neural network as the core technology, and has designed the following aspects:

(2) Convolutional neural network model construction: According to the principle of convolutional neural network, design and build a network structure suitable for image recognition tasks.
(3) Model training and evaluation: The model is trained through the training data set, and the performance of the model is evaluated using the verification data set.
3.2 Data preprocessing
3.2.1 Image scaling and cropping
In order to adapt the input image to the size requirements of the convolutional neural network, the original image is proportionally scaled and center cropped to obtain a fixed-size image. In addition, data enhancement techniques, such as random cropping, flipping, and rotating, can also be used to increase the diversity of training samples and improve the generalization ability of the model.
3.2.2 Image normalization
Image normalization is to scale image pixel values to a fixed range (such as 01 or -11), which helps to improve model convergence speed and training stability. Commonly used normalization methods include max-min normalization and Z-score normalization.
3.3 Construction of Convolutional Neural Network Model
In the image recognition system in this paper, we built a convolutional neural network with multiple convolutional layers, activation function layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. The network structure is as follows:
(1) Input layer: Receive the preprocessed image data.
(2) Convolution layer 1 and activation function layer 1: Use a smaller convolution kernel (such as 3x3) for convolution operations to extract the basic features of the image; use the ReLU activation function to increase nonlinearity.

3.4.2 Training process and parameter setting
During the model training process, we need to set some hyperparameters, such as learning rate, batch size, training rounds, etc. By tuning these parameters, we can optimize model performance. During the training process, the weights of the model are updated according to the training dataset, and the validation dataset is used for performance evaluation after each training round.
3.4.3 Evaluation indicators
In order to evaluate the performance of the image recognition system, we use evaluation indicators such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision and F1-score. These metrics can fully reflect the performance of the model in classification tasks.
