Design of Associative Memory for Gray-Scale Images by Multilayer Hopfield Neural Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a new design procedure for Hopfield associative memories storing grey-scale images is presented. The proposed architecture, with both intra-layer and inter-layer connections, is an evolution of a previous work based on the decomposition of the image with 2L gray levels into L binary patterns, stored in L uncoupled neural networks: that allows to store images with the commonly used number of 256 gray levels. The learning algorithm, used to store the binary images, guarantees asymptotic stability of the stored patterns, has a low computational cost, and allows to control the precision of the connection weights. Key-Words: Hopfield neural networks, associative memories, grey-scale images, finite precision weights.

A new design method for the complex-valued multistate Hopfield associative memory
A method to store each element of an integral memory set M subset {1,2,...,K}/sup n/ as a fixed point into a complex-valued multistate Hopfield network is introduced. The method employs a set of inequalities to render each memory pattern as a strict local minimum of a quadratic energy landscape. Based on the solution of this system, it gives a recurrent network of n multistate neurons with comp...
متن کاملLocally Connected BSB Neural Networks as Associative Memories Storing Grey- Scale Images
In this paper, we introduce an associative memory storing grey scale images. It’s based on a suitable translation of the grey scale image into a Gray-coded binary image, stored in a single BSB binary neural network. The particular BSB we are going to exploit has the property of local connectivity. The chosen learning algorithm guarantees asymptotic stability of the stored patterns, low computat...
متن کاملA Study on Associative Neural Memories
Memory plays a major role in Artificial Neural Networks. Without memory, Neural Network can not be learned itself. One of the primary concepts of memory in neural networks is Associative neural memories. A survey has been made on associative neural memories such as Simple associative memories (SAM), Dynamic associative memories (DAM), Bidirectional Associative memories (BAM), Hopfield memories,...

متن کاملEfficient Hopfield pattern recognition on a scale-free neural network
Neural networks are supposed to recognise blurred images (or patterns) of N pixels (bits) each. Application of the network to an initial blurred version of one of P pre-assigned patterns should converge to the correct pattern. In the “standard” Hopfield model, the N “neurons” are connected to each other via N bonds which contain the information on the stored patterns. Thus computer time and mem...
