Research abstract
OPTICAL IMAGE PROCESSING USING NEURAL NETWORK CONCEPTS SHOW PROMISE IN THOSE APPLICATIONS REQUIRING REAL TIME TARGET DETECTION, AND CLASSIFICATION. IN PARTICULAR, THE PRINCIPLES OF OPTICAL BIDIRECTIONAL ASSOCIATIVE MEMORIES (BAMS) FOR HETEROASSOCIATIVE PROCESSING EXHIBITS ALL OF THE CHARACTERISTICS REQUIRED FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS WHERE CONVENTIONAL DIGITAL COMPUTERS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE INADEQUATE. WE PROPOSE TO DESIGN AN OPTICAL BAM FOR REAL TIME OPTICAL IMAGE PROCESSING AND CLASSIFICATION APPLICATIONS WITH THE USE OF HOLOGRAPHIC MEMORY AND PHASE CONJUGATE OPTICS.
