Abstract
Neural units with higher-order synaptic operations have good computational properties in information processing and control applications. This paper presents neural units with higher-order synaptic operations for visual image processing applications. We use the neural units with higher-order synaptic operations for edge detection and employ the Hough transform to process the edge detection results. The edge detection method based on the neural unit with higher-order synaptic operations has been applied to solve routing problems of mobile robots. Simulation results show that the proposed neural units with higher-order synaptic operations are efficient for image processing and routing applications of mobile robots.
