Abstract
The paper presents a hybrid neural network system for automatic target recognition, or ATR. The ATR system uses a hybrid of a biological inspired neural net called the Pulse Coupled Neural Net, PCNN, and traditional feedforward neural nets. The PCNN is an iterative neural network in which, for example, a grey scale input image results in a 1D time signal invariant to rotation, scale and translation alternations. The PCNN can also extract edges, perform object segmentation and extract texture information. The PCNN pre-processor generates a 1D time signal that is input to a feedforward pattern recognition net.

Image object classification using saccadic search, spatio-temporal pattern encoding and self-organisation

TL;DR: A strategy using multiple self-organising feature maps (SOM) in a hierarchical manner is used, using a certain degree of user selection, a database of sub-images is grouped according to similarities in signature space.

Image classification using the frequencies of simple features

TL;DR: The p-gram encoding scheme provides invariance to translation of the objects within the image and tolerance to scale variations as well and is successful for this limited image domain.

Fast learning in networks of locally-tuned processing units

TL;DR: This work proposes a network architecture which uses a single internal layer of locally-tuned processing units to learn both classification tasks and real-valued function approximations (Moody and Darken 1988).

TL;DR: A network that allocates a new computational unit whenever an unusual pattern is presented to the network, which learns much faster than do those using backpropagation networks and uses a comparable number of synapses.

The ART of adaptive pattern recognition by a self-organizing neural network

TL;DR: Art architectures are discussed that are neural networks that self-organize stable recognition codes in real time in response to arbitrary sequences of input patterns, which opens up the possibility of applying ART systems to more general problems of adaptively processing large abstract information sources and databases.
