Optical synergetic computers for pattern recognition
Hermann Haken · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1993
Using the concept that pattern recognition can be conceived as pattern formation, and using the mathematical methods of synergetics for the treatment of the spontaneous formation of spatial, temporal or spatio-temporal patterns, we study several laser configurations in which both, competition and pre-processing, allow one to deal with the problem of pattern recognition.
