A Simple Explanation of How Image Recognition Works

I really liked the visual representation of the "8" bitmap! It's kind of neat how `0` has a fairly pixel density compared to `255`, so even as numbers the `8` is still recognizable.

I'm the author. I just saw this post.

I actually cheated to make that illustration better. In a real grayscale image, 0 is black and 255 is white. I inverted the image to make the numbers easier to see as an "8". I swapped it so that black was 0 and white was 255 :)
