Abstract
The relationship between backpropagation and extended Kalman
filtering for training multilayer perceptrons is examined. These two
techniques are compared theoretically and empirically using sensor
imagery. Backpropagation is a technique from neural networks for
assigning weights in a multilayer perceptron. An extended Kalman filter
can also be used for this purpose. A brief review of the multilayer
perceptron and these two training methods is provided. Then, it is shown
that backpropagation is a degenerate form of the extended Kalman filter.
The training rules are compared in two examples: an image classification
problem using laser radar Doppler imagery and a target detection problem
using absolute range images. In both examples, the backpropagation
training algorithm is shown to be three orders of magnitude less costly
than the extended Kalman filter algorithm in terms of a number of
floating-point operations
