A KIND OF TWO-INPUT CNN WITH APPLICATION

Abstract

This paper presents a kind of two-input Cellular Neural Network (CNN). This kind of CNN has three templates: A-template, B-template and C-template. The B-template and C-template are in charge of coupling two input images to be processed by the CNN equation. It is expected the new CNN may be used to process simultaneously two images. As an application of the CNN, a background replacement (BR) CNN is introduced. The BR CNN can replace the light colored background of a RBG image by another color image. Two computer simulation examples show that the BR CNN image processing can display animated drawing effects, and animated cartoons.
