Pulse-coupled neural networks and parameter optimization methods

In this paper, a review of parameter optimization methods of pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNNs) is presented. Considering that PCNN has been used in image processing for many years, the aim of this paper was to provide an overview of the work that has been done and to serve as a useful reference for those who are looking for PCNN parameter optimization methods and those who are researching PCNN applications for a specific field. This paper first briefly reviews the PCNN model, including the standard PCNN and several variants of PCNN. Then, we emphasize the optimization methods for PCNN’s parameters, describing three types of parameter optimization methods in detail. Next, the paper summarizes the applications of the optimized models of PCNN with adaptive parameters in image segmentation, image fusion, image denoising and edge detection.
