Automatic analysis of CHIMERA experimental data by means of a hierarchical pre-attentive neural system

Biological vision processes are at the basis of many studies in the image-processing field. In this context, neural networks developed by S. Grossberg constitute an interesting approach. The paper presents a novel method for the automatic analysis of scatter plots from CHIMERA experimental data based on Grossberg's pre-attentive neural systems. The design and implementation of a system developed for this purpose are illustrated. The proposed method yields satisfactory results also in very noisy cases. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
