An oscillatory network model with controllable synchronization and a neuromorphic dynamical method of information processing

Аннотация

A spatially two-dimensional oscillatory neural network model with inhomogeneous modifiable oscillatory coupling is designed and an adaptive dynamical method of brightness image segmentation (image reconstruction) based on self-organized cluster synchronization in the oscillatory network is developed. The method imitates the known phenomenon of dynamical binding via synchronization that is presumably used by a number of the brain neural structures in their work. The oscillatory-network approach demonstrates the following capabilities: (1) high-quality segmentation of real grey-level and color images; (2) selective image segmentation (exclusion of unnecessary information); (3) solution of the simplest problem of object selection in a visual scene—the problem of the successive selection of all spatially separated image fragments of almost equal brightness.
