Abstract

This paper describes a neural network architecture that has beendeveloped to perform deformation tolerant object recognition fromgrey-scale images. It uses a form ofdeformable template matching, generating new templates in aself-organising manner. The results demonstrate the network‘s ability to buildclasses when no suitable classes are available. The amount ofdeformation allowed within a class can be controlled to allow thenetwork to be applied to a wide range of applications. Results arepresented for a set of generated images which allow the effects of theselection of the major network parameters to be shown.
