Abstract

Stable cellular neural networks with binary outputs implement a non‐linear mapping between sets of input and output images. Such a mapping is studied in detail. We prove two theorems: the first one yields a sufficient condition in order that the non‐linear mapping be well‐defined; the second one yields a condition, that allows to describe the mapping through a simple algorithm based on the sign of the initial derivatives. Then we enunciate two additional theorems and two corollaries, that identify the class of templates satisfying the above condition: such a class is shown to be rather large and include, as particular cases, the monotonic templates, and several kinds of non‐monotonic templates. Finally,a rigorous design procedure is proposed. Copyright Β© 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In order to be able to take full advantage of the great application potential that lies in cellular neural networks (CNNs) we need to have successful design and learning techniques as well. In almost any analogic CNN algorithm that performs an image processing task, binary CNNs play an important rol

This paper presents image thinning algorithms using cellular neural networks (CNNs) with one-or two-dimensional opposite-sign templates (OSTs) as well as non-unity gain output functions. Two four-layer CNN systems with one-dimensional (1-D) OSTs are proposed for image thinning with 4-or 8-connectivi

In this paper a global design method for associative memories using discrete-time cellular neural networks (DTCNNs) is presented. The proposed synthesis technique enables to realize associative memories with several advantageous features. First of all, grey-level as well as bipolar images can be sto
