Abstract

In this paper, a new improvement approach of the perfect recall rate of a block splitting type morphological associative memory (BMAM) is presented. The BMAM is one of MAMs without the kernel image, which is realized in more compact size as keeping the perfect recall rate as same as a normal MAM (without the kernel image). However, the MAM without kernel image has a problem that the perfect recall rate is inferior to a standard MAM (with the kernel image). Therefore, we try to improve the problem by a majority logic scheme and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach through autoassociation experiments of alphabet patterns compared to the traditional approaches in terms of the noise tolerance.
