Neural associative memory storing gray-coded gray-scale images

We present a neural associative memory storing gray-scale images. The proposed approach is based on a suitable decomposition of the gray-scale image into gray-coded binary images, stored in brain-state-in-a-box-type binary neural networks. Both learning and recall can be implemented by parallel computation, with time saving. The learning algorithm, used to store the binary images, guarantees asymptotic stability of the stored patterns, low computational cost, and control of the weights precision. Some design examples and computer simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
