Abstract

This paper introduces how to use multi-valued PCNN (Pulse Coupled Neural Network) proposed in this paper to do classification. 2-dimensional data can be projected onto two-dimensional PCNN locally laterally linked. Different pulse waves generated by training data label different regions corresponding to different classes. The same pulse wave labels the region corresponding to the same class. Meeting of different pulse waves obtains the separatrixes of different classes. In order to differentiate different pulse waves, outputs of neurons in PCNN should be multi-valued. We call networks composed of these neurons multi-valued PCNNs. The number of classes determines the number of output value of each neuron. N-valued PCNN can be used to classify N-1different classes. Experimental results of the 2-dimensional salmon-weever classification show that the correct recognition rate of test set is 98.11% (3477/3544) when training samples are only 10% of all samples.
