Abstract

The mathematical background of MNNs can be found in mathematical morphology (MM). Since MM can be conducted very generally in the complete lattice setting, MNNs are closely related to other lattice-based neurocomputing models.This paper reviews some important types of feedforward morphological neural networks including their mathematical background. In addition, we analyze and compare the performance of feedforward morphological models and conventional multi-layer perceptrons in some classification problems.
