前言
上一篇文章我们实现了一个简单的全连接神经网络。但全连接网络有个问题：输入是一维向量，会丢失图像的空间结构信息。
比如一张28×28的手写数字图片，拉成一维后，相邻像素之间的关系就丢失了。这就是为什么识别图像需要卷积神经网络(CNN)。
今天，我们用C语言从零实现一个完整的CNN：
· 实现卷积层、池化层、全连接层
· 训练一个能识别手写数字的模型
· 理解卷积、池化、感受野等核心概念
· 完整实现，可运行
一、CNN的核心原理
- 为什么需要卷积？
方法 参数量 问题
全连接(28×28→128) 784×128=100,352 参数量爆炸，过拟合
卷积(3×3卷积核) 3×3=9 参数共享，平移不变性
- 卷积核如何工作？
```
输入图像(5×5) 卷积核(3×3) 输出特征图(3×3)
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐
│ 1 1 1 0 0 │ │ 1 0 1 │ │ 4 3 4 │
│ 0 1 1 1 0 │ × │ 0 1 0 │ = → │ 2 4 3 │
│ 0 0 1 1 1 │ │ 1 0 1 │ │ 2 3 4 │
│ 0 0 1 1 0 │ └─────────┘ └─────────┘
│ 0 1 1 0 0 │
└─────────────────┘
计算: 1×1 + 1×0 + 1×1 + 0×0 + 1×1 + 1×0 + 0×1 + 0×0 + 1×1 = 4
```
- CNN的标准结构
```
输入(28×28×1)
↓
卷积层(3×3×32) + ReLU → 特征图(26×26×32)
↓
最大池化(2×2) → 特征图(13×13×32)
↓
卷积层(3×3×64) + ReLU → 特征图(11×11×64)
↓
最大池化(2×2) → 特征图(5×5×64)
↓
展平 → 1600个特征
↓
全连接层(128) + ReLU
↓
全连接层(10) + Softmax
```

t->data = calloc(height * width * channels, sizeof(float));
return t;
}
// 释放张量
void tensor_free(tensor_t *t) {
if (t) {

}
}
// 获取像素值
float tensor_get(tensor_t *t, int h, int w, int c) {
return t->data[(c * t->height + h) * t->width + w];
}
// 设置像素值
void tensor_set(tensor_t *t, int h, int w, int c, float val) {

}
// 模拟MNIST数据（实际需加载真实数据）
void generate_mock_data(tensor_t *image, int label) {
// 生成28x28的模拟数据
for (int h = 0; h < 28; h++) {
for (int w = 0; w < 28; w++) {

// 在数字位置加一些模式
int center_h = 14 + (label - 4) * 2;
int center_w = 14;
float dist = sqrt((h - center_h)*(h - center_h) + (w - center_w)*(w - center_w));
if (dist < 8) {
val += 0.5;
}
tensor_set(image, h, w, 0, val > 1 ? 1 : val);
}
}
}

// 模拟训练
printf("开始训练（模拟）...\n");
int epochs = 5;

generate_mock_data(train_image, label);
int pred = cnn_forward(net, train_image);
if (pred == label) correct++;
}

// 清理
tensor_free(train_image);
tensor_free(test_image);
// 注意：需要完整的清理函数释放所有内存
return 0;
}
```
