Research abstract
PHYSICAL OPTICS CORPORATION (POC) PROPOSES A NOVEL NEURO-OPTIC SYSTEM FOR PATTERN RECOGNITION WHICH USES MASSIVELY PARALLEL PROCESSING CAPABILITY, BASED ON HOLOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES. THE RESULTING HOLOGRAPHIC NEURO-OPTIC PROCESSOR (HNOP) WILL BE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING HIGHLY PARALLEL OPERATIONS DUE TO A SPECIALLY RECORDED HOLOGRAPHIC INTERCONNECTIVITY MATRIX WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A 2D SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR. THE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SYSTEM IS THAT OUTSTANDING INFORMATION CAPACITY CAN BE ACHIEVED IN ADDITION TO FULL PROCESSING PARALLELITY OF THE RECOGNITION PROCESS. THE INTERCONNECTIVITY OF OUR PROCESSOR CAN BE AS HIGH AS 10(12) WHICH IS 10(4) TIMES BETTER THAN THAT OF HUMAN CORTICAL HYPERCOLUMN. VARIOUS ARCHITECTURES OF POC'S HNOPS ARE ABLE TO PERFORM ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY, FEATURE EXTRACTION, NOVELTY FILTERING IN ADDITION TO AUTOMATIC PATTERN RECOGNITION.
