CNN Backbone

A CNN backbone refers to the foundational convolutional neural network architecture used for feature extraction in various computer vision tasks. Current research focuses on improving efficiency (e.g., through structured pruning), enhancing robustness (e.g., by incorporating rotation invariance), and adapting backbones for specific applications (e.g., lifelong learning, multi-label classification). These advancements are crucial for optimizing resource consumption in embedded systems and improving accuracy across diverse domains, impacting fields like robotics, medical image analysis, and remote sensing.
