The internal representations of 'learned' knowledge in neural networks are still poorly understood, even for backpropagation networks. The paper discusses a possible interpretation of learned knowledge of a network trained for parameter estimation from images. The outputs of the hidden layer are the internal components of the output parameters. The input-to-hidden weight maps, functioning as a kind of internal measuring model of the parameter components, include statistical features of the training set and seem to have a clear physical and geometrical meaning
