Abstract

Pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) is different from traditional artificial neural networks, models of which have biological background and are based on the experimental observations of synchronous pulse bursts in the cat visual cortex. However, it is very difficult to determine the exact relationship between the parameters of PCNN model. Focusing on the famous difficult problem of PCNN, how to determine the optimum parameters automatically, this paper proposes the definition of water valley area, establishes a modified PCNN, and puts forward an adaptive PCNN parameters determination algorithm based on water valley area. Extensive experimental results on image processing demonstrate its validity and robustness.
