Image processing using the PCNN time matrix as a selective filter

This paper describes a novel scheme for image processing based on the PCNN time matrix. The time matrix is a mapping from the spatial image information to time information generated by a PCNN. The time matrix contains useful information related to spatial information of the image that is under processing. Based on this matrix, image processing operations may be defined; image segmentation, edge detection, and selective filters. This paper slates this new image processing scheme based on the time matrix and illustrates the application of the scheme.
