A new type of hierarchical neural-like networks: representation

Presents a new kind of hierarchical binary network which may be considered as a specific case of cellular networks. Such networks are defined by primitives or processes which are personalised for network implementation in specific applications. The way in which a network may be described is provided by a process (network process) which may be used both for simulation software and for deducing the general hardware architecture of the network. Following a description of the algorithms of different simulation primitives, a network example for noise elimination in images is included to illustrate the potential of this kind of network
