Image Segmentation Using Pulse Coupled Neural Networks

Image segmentation is a very important aspect in the field of image processing. According to certain principles, it will be divided into a number of small regional disjoint. Small region is a sense sets of common attributes of the connectivity pixels. The so-called connectivity which refers to the fact that any two points in the pool existing a connectivity path between all belong to the set. Pulse coupled neural networks was proposed based on the brain simultaneously pulsed release phenomenon of the visual cortex of the cats, monkeys, and other animals, the similar input data can be outbreak synchronized through interrelated neurons. The digital image can be processed by pulse coupled neural networks, the pixels of space based approach and brightness can be made up to a group. Pulse coupled neural networks has a good nature in image processing applications, which can effectively for the various aspects of image processing, and it can be used in the image processing system. Experimental results show that the method can achieve better image segmentation and have a common applicability.
