Biological information fusion using a PCNN and belief filtering
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper focuses on extracting and fusing visual feature information to discern targets much like a human fuses visual, auditory, and somatosensory data. Extraction of features is performed using a Pulse Coupled Neural Network to simulate visual-cortex processing of linking related-feature information. The feature-based biological sensor fusion approach extracts features from images, associates relevant features, and uses a belief filter to confirm or deny target identity.

This paper presents the first physiologically motivated pulse coupled neural network (PCNN)-based image fusion network for object detection. Primate vision processing principles, such as expectation driven filtering, state dependent modulation, temporal synchronization, and multiple processing paths are applied to create a physiologically motivated image fusion network. PCNN's are used to fuse ...
متن کاملA Medical Image Fusion Algorithm Based on Multi-channel PCNN in NSCT Domain
Medical image fusion plays an important role in clinical applications such as image-guided surgery, image-guided radiotherapy, non-invasive diagnosis, and treatment planning. In order to improve the comprehension of multiple medical image information, we consider the advantage of non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) in multi-scale analysis method and multiple directions and apply it to mu...
متن کاملAn Image Fusion Method Based on NSCT and Dual-channel PCNN Model
NSCT is one of useful multiscale geometric analysis tools, which takes full advantage of geometric regularity of image intrinsic structures. The dual-channel PCNN is a simplified PCNN model, which can process multiple images by a single PCNN. This saves time in the process of image fusion and cuts down computational complexity. In this paper, we present a new image fusion scheme based on NSCT a...

Multimodal medical image fusion plays a vital role in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. In the image fusion methods based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and pulse coupled neural network (PCNN), authors have used normalized coefficient value to motivate the PCNN-processing, which makes the fused image blurred, detail loss and decrease in contrast. In this paper, we present...
متن کاملSensor Fusion Cognition using Belief Filtering for Tracking and Identification
Humans exhibit remarkable abilities to estimate, filter, predict, and fuse information in target tracking tasks. To improve track quality, we extend previous tracking approaches by investigating human cognitive-level fusion for constraining the set of plausible targets where the number of targets is not known a priori. The target track algorithm predicts a belief in the position and pose for a ...
