“…As an example, one of the CNNs mentioned above is presented in this paper (see Figure 8). This CNN was specifically designed to classify the features extracted from the acoustic signals gathered from the road pavement and to recognize variation in the structural health status of the road [44]. The abovementioned CNN was built while paying attention to the recommendations and the recurrent problems described in the literature [45,46], and it has the following characteristics: (1) two fully connected layers (with 70 and 30 hidden nodes, respectively), which carry out pattern recognition using the activation function ReLu (relu(x) := max(0, x), i.e., this function, f (z), is zero The abovementioned CNN was built while paying attention to the recommendations and the recurrent problems described in the literature [45,46], and it has the following characteristics: (1) two fully connected layers (with 70 and 30 hidden nodes, respectively), which carry out pattern recognition using the activation function ReLu (relu(x): = max(0, x), i.e., this function, f (z), is zero when z < 0, and it is equal to z when z 0); (2) one convolutional layer, which automatically extracts additional features from the input); (3) one pooling layer, which carries out the average pooling of the features extracted while applying the valid padding; (4) Adadelta Optimized was selected as the optimizer function (for the adjustment of weights and biases); (5) the activation function Softmax cross entropy measures the probability error in discrete classification tasks, and confusion matrices were used to show and analyze the results of the classification.…”
