Abstract

Space-invariant lateral interconnects and winner-take-all concepts can be combined to produce optical neural networks to process the output plane of a conventional optical pattern recognition system. Advantages in clutter rejection, sensor fusion, preference for smoothly moving targets, etc. are readily obtainable. The output plane energy distribution will be vastly simplified as well. In the limit, the output plane will be one or more isolated points representing target locations.
