Abstract:

An algorithm based on potential functions for positioning images is proposed. Each point in the n-dimensional space of receptors which appears when the objects are displayed, is considered to be a potential source its potential has a maximum value and decreases away from this point. The process of teaching a machine to recognize visual images is based on an improved algorithm of potentials where the potentials of the images are computed from a given equation. The block diagram of the algorithm used in conjunction with the BESM-2M computer is presented.
