Inherent Features of Wavelets and Pulse Coupled Neural Networks

Biologically inspired image/signal processing like the pulse coupled neuralnetwork (PCNN) and the wavelet (packet) transforms are described. The twomethods are applied to two-dimensional data in order to demonstrate the fea-tures of each method, pinpoint dif ferences as well as similarities. The inherentproperties (with respect to filtering, segmentation, etc) of the two appracheswith respect to detectors for physics experiments as well as remote sensingare discussed.wavelets, pulse coupled neural networks, image/signal pre-processing,segmentation, edge detection, object isolation
