Convolutional Neural Networks look for "features" such as straight lines, or cats. As such whenever you spot those features-they get reported to the feature map. Each feature map is looking for something else. One feature map could be looking for straight lines, the other for curves. The feature maps also look for their features in different locations. | |||

Introduction[edit]
The feature map is the output of one filter applied to the previous layer. A given filter is drawn across the entire previous layer, moved one pixel at a time. Each position results in an activation of the neuron and the output is collected in the feature map. You can see that if the receptive field is moved one pixel from activation to activation, then the field will overlap with the previous activation by (field width - 1) input values.

How does it work or a deeper look[edit]
Convolutional Neural Networks look for "features" such as straight lines, or cats. As such whenever you spot those features-they get reported to the feature map. Each feature map is looking for something else. One feature map could be looking for straight lines, the other for curves. The feature maps also look for their features in different locations.

Pictures, diagrams[edit]
Pictures and diagrams go a LONG way to helping someone understand a topic. Especially if your topic is a little abstract or complex. Using a picture or diagram is a two part process:
