Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Role of allocation of signs in the problem of automatic recognition of images with use of neural networks V.V. SMIRNOV The problem of pattern recognition solvable with neural network methods is considered. The image preprocessing stage in this problem required for the formation of the input feature vector of the neural network is analyzed, and approaches to the implementation of this phase of the solution is discussed. In addition, the article cites the results of practical experiments. Key words: neural networks, recognition of images, the theory of an adaptive resonance, allocation of signs.
