Abstract
Cellular Neural Networks (CNN) provides fast parallel computational capability for image processing applications. The behavior of the CNN is defined by two template matrices. In this paper, adjustment of these template-matrix coefficients have been realized using supervised learning algorithm based on back-propagation technique and wavelet function. Back-propagation algorithm has been modified for dynamic behavior of CNN. Wavelet function is utilized to provide the activation function derivation in this learning algorithm. The supervised learning algorithm is then executed to obtain a compact CNN architecture, called as Wave-CNN. The proposed new learning algorithm and Wave-CNN architecture performance have been tested for 2D image processing applications.
