VGGNet — Visual Geometry Group Network

Fact

A CNN image model built by stacking many small convolution layers.

In Plain Words

VGGNet is like checking a photo with a tiny magnifying glass, again and again. After enough passes, it spots the cat’s whiskers.

It was once a top image classifier. People still use it to pull useful visual features from pictures.
