- two problems without padding for [[Convolutional Neural Networks]]: 1. shrinking output (after 100 layers there's so little left in final image) 2. lack of usage of corner pixels' information - to fix this, you pad image by 0's - padding value = 1 means you add a single wraparound, which in the image example below means each side gets 2 extra pixels ![[CleanShot 2024-06-26 at [email protected]|350]]
