8.1 Using Multilayer Neural Networks for Recognition

Multilayer neural networks covered in detail in earlier chapters can handle many tasks. Nevertheless, if we want to analyze their properties and the way they work, the most appropriate area is probably image recognition in which a neural network (or other type of learning machine) classifies images into certain classes. The analyzed objects may vary widely, from digital camera images to scanned or grabbed analog images. We present a comparison of digital and analog images in Figure 8.1 to help explain this point. Each neuron of the hidden layer receives three weights for neurons 1.1 and 1.2; each neuron of the output layer receives three weights for ...
