Recently, a new extension of the standard neural networks, the so-called functional networks, has been described [E. Castillo, Functional networks, Neural Process. Lett. 7 (1998) 151–159]. This approach has been successfully applied to the reconstruction of a surface from a given set of 3D data points assumed to lie on unknown Bézier [A. Iglesias, A. Gálvez, Applying functional networks to CAGD...

Jet engines need to be certified before going into service, i. e., any dangerous vibration has to be detected. Therefore the eigenmodes, displayed as curves in Campbell diagrams, need to be identified first. At the moment this is done manually by engineers. In this paper we introduce a way of automatically detecting eigenmodes in Campbell diagrams by introducing an extension of Hough transform.
