Title
Invariant feature maps for analysis of orientations in image data
Abstract
We present a method that uses competitive learning and a neighbourhood function in a similar way to the self-organising map (SOM) (3). The network consists of a number of modules that are positioned in an array (normally in one or two dimensions) where each module performs a subspace projection and the rotation of these subspaces is weighted b y the neighbourhood function. Non-linear activation functions are introduced so that each node performs non- linear PCA on the training data captured in its Voronoi region. We show that this network may be used for position invariant detection of bars at varying orientations.
