Abstract

A chaotic oscillatory network for scene segmentation is presented. It is a two-dimensional array with locally coupled chaotic elements. It offers a mechanism to escape from the synchrony-desynchrony dilemma. As a result, this model has unbounded capacity of segmentation. Chaotic dynamics and chaotic synchronization in the model are analyzed. Desynchronization property is guaranteed by the definition of chaos. Computer simulations confirm the theoretical prediction
