Locally coupled chaotic oscillator network for scene segmentation

A chaotic oscillatory correlation network for scene segmentation is presented. It is a two-dimensional array with locally coupled chaotic elements. It offers a mechanism to escape the synchrony-desynchrony dilemma. As a result, this model has unbounded capacity of segmentation. Chaotic dynamics in the periodically driven Wilson-Cowan oscillator is analyzed by calculating the Lyapunov exponents. Computer simulations confirm the theoretical prediction.
