Title
An improved pulse coupled neural network for image processing
Abstract
To develop new image processing applications for pulse coupled neural network (PCNN), this paper proposes an improved PCNN model by redesigning the linking input, activity strength, linking weight, pulse threshold and pixel update rule. Two typical image processing examples based on such a model, namely fingerprint orientation field estimation and noise removal, are presented for explaining how to use the PCNN and determine parameters in image processing. Experiments show that the improved model is quite useful, and the PCNN-based approaches achieve better image processing results than the traditional ones.
