Membrane computing and image processing: a short survey

TLDR
Some of the open research lines in the area of membrane computing are presented, focusing on segmentation problems, skeletonization and algebraic-topological aspects of the images.
Abstract
Membrane computing is a well-known research area in computer science inspired by the organization and behavior of live cells and tissues. Their computational devices, called P systems, work in parallel and distributed mode and the information is encoded by multisets in a localized manner. All these features make P systems appropriate for dealing with digital images. In this paper, some of the open research lines in the area are presented, focusing on segmentation problems, skeletonization and algebraic-topological aspects of the images. An extensive bibliography about the application of membrane computing to the study of digital images is also provided.

Numerical Spiking Neural P Systems

TL;DR: It is proved that NSN P is Turing universal as number generating devices, where the production functions in each neuron are linear functions, each involving at most one variable, and as number accepting devices,NSN P systems are proved to be universal as well, even if each neuron contains only one production function.
