چکیده

Besides their topological properties, Kohonen maps are often used for vector quantization only. These auto-organised networks are often compared to other standard and/or adaptive vector quantization methods, and, according to the large literature on the subject, show either better or worst properties in terms of quantization, speed of convergence, approximation of probability densities, clustering,... The purpose of this paper is to define more precisely some commonly encountered problems, and to try to give some answers through well-known theoretical arguments or simulations on simple examples.

Low bitrate image compression using self-organized Kohonen maps

In this paper, we propose a new image compression algorithm based on Kohonen self-organized maps. The compression is based on vector quantization (VQ) of the DCT coefficients of image blocks, where the VQ is implemented by a Kohonen network. At low bitrates, our proposed method performs better than an earlier compression scheme developed by Amerijckx et al. [1] and shows better subjective resul...

Compression of Medical Images using Improved Kohonen Algorithm

Nowadays, neural networks are largely used in signal processing and images. In particular, Kohonen networks or Self Organizing Maps are unsupervised learning models. This method performs a vector quantization (VQ) on the values obtained after processing. The vector quantization has a potential to give more data compression maintaining the same quality. In this paper we propose new scheme to ima...

Long-Term Time Series Forecasting Using Self-Organizing Maps: the Double Vector Quantization Method

Kohonen self-organisation maps are a well know classification tool, commonly used in a wide variety of problems, but with limited applications in time series forecasting context. In this paper, we propose a forecasting method specifically designed for long-term trends prediction, with a double application of the Kohonen algorithm. We also consider practical issues for the use of the method.

A Micropower Learning Vector Quantizer for Parallel Analog-to-digital Data Compression

An analog VLSI architecture for learning vector quantization (LVQ), with on-chip adaptation and dynamic storage of the analog templates, is presented. The architecture extends to Fuzzy ART and Kohonen self-organizing maps through digital programming. The analog memory and adaptive element of the LVQ cell comprise 6 MOS transistors and one capacitor, and provide for robust selfrefresh of the dyn...

Understanding Kohonen Networks

Kohonen neural nets are some kind of competitive nets. The most commonly known variants are the Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) and the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ). The former model uses an unsupervized learning, the latter is an e cient classi er. This paper tries to give, in simple words, a clear idea about the basis of competitive neural nets and competitive learning emphasizing on the SO...
