โฆ Synopsis
PCNN's represent a new advance in imaging technology, allowing images to be refined to levels well beyond that of the original. This volume provides an introduction to the topic by reviewing the theoretical foundations as well as a number of image processing applications, including segmentation, edge extraction, texture extraction, object identification, object isolation, motion processing, noise suppression, and image fusion. This is the first book to cover PCNN technology, an area which will have many applications in medical, military and industrial imaging.

Pulse-coupled neural networks represent a new and exciting advance in image processing research. When exposed to grey scale or colour images they produce a series of binary pulse images which allow the content of the image to be assessed much more accurately than from the original.
