1. A computer-implemented method for object recognition using a recursive cortical network comprising:
- receiving an input image at a training module;
applying a trained recursive cortical network (RCN) to the image using an inference module to activate child features of the RCN;
selecting pools of the RCN containing the activated child features; and
propagating the selection of the pools to identify probabilities of one or more higher-level features matching one or more objects in the input image.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for object recognition using a recursive cortical network comprising receiving an input image at an input module, applying a trained recursive cortical network (RCN) to the image using an inference module to activate child features of the RCN, selecting pools of the RCN containing the activated child features, propagating the selection of the pools to identify probabilities of one or more high-level features matching one or more objects in the input image.

12. A computer-implemented method for object generation using a recursive cortical network (RCN) comprising:
-
activating a high-level feature-node of the RCN according to user entered request; selecting one of one or more pools associated with the high-level feature node at random; selecting a winning feature from each of the one or more pools based on lateral connections; and composing an object based on the selected winning features from each pool. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
