Characteristic Of Mutually Coupled Two-Layer CNN And Its Stability

This paper presents some interesting image processing applications with the mutually coupled two-layer Cellular Neural Networks (CNNs). We found that the two-layer CNNs are very useful compared to single layer CNNs in some applications such as center point detection, skeletonization, and so on. We also focus our discussions on both their transients and operations. In addition, the stability of the two-layer CNNs with mutually coupled symmetric templates is also discussed based on those of decoupling CNN technique.
