Abstract

The PCNN convolution kernel is one of the main components of the PCNN. It can be manipulated to provide a variety of computations. The original Eckhorn model used a Gaussian type of interconnections, but when the PCNN is applied to image processing problems these interconnections are available to the user for altering the behaviour of the network.
