Originally published in 1995, this book dealt also with images and neural networks, but with a different goal. The primary focus was not on the application of neural networks to images but on the transfer of knowledge between image processing/computer vision and neural networks. In order to cope with the complexity inherent in most vision tasks, divide-and-conquer techniques had to be applied that naturally led to hierarchical structures. It is very important to exploit the capabilities of hierarchies in a systematic way. The approach taken in this book was by considering the similarity between hierarchical neural networks and image pyramids. Throughout this book, all aspects of this similarity are consider.
