Implementation of Hierarchical Spatial Filters with Orientation Selectivity by Using Diffusion Network

In this paper, we propose a neural network which detect edges of different orentation and spatial frequency in arbitrary image data. We constructed the proposed neural network iwth two different types neural network. A diffusion network performs the gaussian operation efficiently by the diffusion process. And the spatial difference network has specially designed connections suitble to detect the contours of a specific oriention. Simulation results showed that the proposed neural network can extract the edges of selected orientation efficiently by applying the neural network to a test pattern and the real image.
