Abstract

In this paper we investigate a hardware Pulse Couple Neural Network (PCNN) to be used as the pre-processing stage for a vision system which uses as processing core the Optical Broadcast Neural Network (OBNN) Processor [Optical Engineering Letters 42 (9), 2488 (2003)]. The temporal patterns are to remain constant independently of the position of the spatial pattern in the input image and its orientation. The objective is to obtain synchronous temporal patterns, with fixed pulse rates, from a determined spatial pattern.
