A new fuzzy Hopfield-model net based on rough-set reasoning is proposed for the classification of multispectral images. The main purpose is to embed a rough-set learning scheme into the fuzzy Hopfield network to construct a classification system called a rough-fuzzy Hopfield net (RFHN). The classification system is a paradigm for the implementation of fuzzy logic and rough systems in neural network architecture. Instead of all the information in the image being fed into the neural network, the upperand lower-bound gray levels, captured from a training vector in a multispectal image, are fed into a rough-fuzzy neuron in the RFHN. Therefore, only 2/N pixels are selected as the training samples if an N-dimensional multispectral image was used. In the simulation results, the proposed network not only reduces the consuming time but also reserves the classification performance. © 2004 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
