Voronoi Pyramids and Hoppeld Networks

چکیده
We present an algorithm for image segmentation with irregular pyramids. Instead of starting with the original pixel grid, we rst apply an adaptive Voronoi tessellation to the image. For irregular pyramid construction we present a Hoppeld neural network which controls the decimation process. The validity of our approach is demonstrated by several examples in image segmentation.

Voronoi Pyramids Controlled by Hopfield Neural Networks
We present an algorithm for image segmentation with irregular pyramids. Instead of starting with the original pixel grid, we rst apply some adaptive Voronoi tesselation to the image. This provides the advantage that the number of cells in the bottom level of the pyramid is already reduced as compared to the number of pixels of the original image. Furthermore the Voronoi diagram is a powerful to...
متن کاملNeural Networks versus Image
Neural networks and image pyramids are massively parallel processing structures. In this paper we exploit the similarities as well as the diierences between these structures. The general goal is to exchange knowledge between these two elds. After introducing the basic concepts of neural networks and image pyramids we give a translation table of the vocabulary used in image pyramids and those us...

متن کاملOscillations in Discrete and Continuous Hoppeld Networks
This chapter is neatly partitioned into two parts: one dealing with oscillations in discrete Hoppeld networks and the other with oscillations in continuous Hoppeld networks. The single theme spanning both parts is that of the Hoppeld model and its energy function. The rst part deals with analyzing oscillations in the discrete Hoppeld network with symmetric weights, and speculating on possible u...
متن کاملAutoassociative Memory with high Storage Capacity
The general neural unit (GNU) 1] is known for its high storage capacity as an autoassociative memory. The exponential increase in its storage capacity with the number of inputs per neuron is far greater than the linear growth in the famous Hoppeld network 2]. This paper shows that the GNU attains an even higher capacity with the use of pyramids of neurons instead of single neurons as its nodes....
