A Multistable Cellular Nonlinear Network for quality control by visual inspection

摘要

We propose a Cellular Nonlinear Network (CNN) ruled by reaction-diffusion equations for quality control by artificial visual inspection. We show that, using a specific nonlinearity allows to extract regions of interest in a noisy and weakly contrasted image without any processing time setting. We finally present the electronic realization of an elementary cell of the CNN for a possible electronic integration.
