A Cellular Neural Associative Array for Symbolic Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system which combines the descriptional power of symbolic representations with the parallel and distributed processing model of cellular automata and the speed and robustness of connectionist symbol processing is described. Following a cellular automata based approach , the aim of the system is to transform initial symbolic descriptions of patterns to corresponding object level descriptions in order to identify patterns in complex or noisy scenes. A learning algorithm based on a hierarchical structural analysis is used to learn symbolic descriptions of objects. The underlying symbolic processing engine of the system is a neural based associative memory (AURA) which use enables the system to operate in high speed. In addition, the use of distributed representations allow both eecient inter-cellular communications and compact storage of rules.

متن کاملCellular Associative Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition
A common factor of many of the problems in shape recognition and, in extension, in image interpretation is the large dimensionality of the search space. One way to overcome this situation is to partition the problem into smaller ones and combine the local solutions towards global interpretations. Using this approach, the system presented in this thesis provides a novel combination of the descri...

We propose to present a novel syntactic pattern matching technique [1] that combines the correlative learning and generalisation properties of associative memories, with the parallel and distributed operation of cellular automata [2]. The tool is used for recognizing two dimensional objects in images. Each section of the object to be studied is represented by a cell, initially containing a low ...

This paper describes a novel associative processor that uses neural associative memories as its processing elements. The machine has been designed to tackle problems in AI and computer vision and using nodes that allow rapid search using inexact information over very large data sets. Each processing element is an advanced distributed associative memory (ADAM) which is capable of storing large n...
