PCNNs represent a new advance in imaging technology, allowing images to be refined to levels well beyond that of the original. This volume provides an introduction to the topic by reviewing the theoretical foundations as well as a number of image processing applications, including segmentation, edge extraction, texture extraction, object identification, object isolation, motion processing, noise suppression, and image fusion. This is the first book to cover PCNN technology, an area which will have many applications in medical, military and industrial imaging.
