Patent Images
1. A neural network system comprising:
- an image scanning device generating lightness measurements of pixel areas of an image;
a plurality of neural cells, each cell comprising a plurality of neural layers connected in series, each layer comprising a plurality of neural processing elements, each neural processing element generating an output when a weighted sum of inputs exceeds a threshold;
wherein a first neural layer of each neural cell receives, as inputs having a given degree of abstraction, lightness measurements from a finite region within an image;
wherein processing of an input in the neural layers changes the degree of abstraction of the input; and
wherein the minimum number of neural layers is equal to the difference between the degree of abstraction of an output and the degree of abstraction of the input.

Abstract
A data processing system including a plurality of neural layers characterized in that each neural layer is divided into a plurality of groups and that neurons in one of the group in one layer are connected only with neurons in corresponding group of adjacent layers, whereby independent neural cells are constructed each of which comprises corresponding groups of neurons. The minimum number of neural layers is equal to the difference between the degree of abstraction of an output data and the degree of abstraction of an input data.
