Pulse coupled neural networks and its applications

This paper surveys the extensive usage of pulse coupled neural networks. The visual cortex system of mammalians was the backbone for the development of pulse coupled neural network. PCNN (Pulse Coupled Neural Networks) is unique from other techniques due to its synchronous pulsed output, adjustable threshold and controllable parameters. is Hence the uniqueness of this network utilized in the fields of image processing. The basic model of PCNN and the consecutive changes implemented, to strengthen the pulse coupled neural network are discussed initially. Then the applications of PCNN are broadly discussed. The other miscellaneous applications utilizing pulse coupled neural networks are thrown light in the last section.
