Simulation Implementation of 1D CNN and 2D CNN Networks

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely applied in signal and image processing domains. 1D CNNs primarily handle sequential data like audio signals or time-series data, while 2D CNNs are more suitable for processing two-dimensional data such as images. Simulating these network architectures in MATLAB helps understand their operational mechanisms and application scenarios.

The implementation of 1D CNN typically includes input layers, convolutional layers, activation functions, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. Convolutional layers extract features by applying one-dimensional filters to input data, activation functions (like ReLU) introduce non-linearity, and pooling layers reduce dimensionality while enhancing translation invariance of features. MATLAB offers comprehensive matrix operation functions that enable efficient 1D CNN implementation through vectorized operations and optimized convolution functions like conv for one-dimensional data processing.

2D CNN follows a similar structure but employs two-dimensional filters suitable for image processing tasks. In MATLAB, multi-layer network structures can be rapidly constructed using functions from the Deep Learning Toolbox, such as conv2d for convolutional operations and maxPooling2dLayer for downsampling. Simulation experiments allow visual observation of how convolutional operations extract image features, with implementations often involving parameter tuning for filter sizes and stride configurations.

Both 1D and 2D CNN simulations fundamentally rely on understanding the mathematical principles of convolution operations, forward propagation, and backpropagation. Through sub-function decomposition approaches, each layer's computation process can be modularized for easier debugging and optimization. MATLAB's robust matrix computation capabilities facilitate these implementations while helping beginners deeply comprehend CNN working principles through hands-on coding experiments involving gradient calculations and weight updates.
