Research on Image Classification Combining Wavelet Analysis and Spiking Neural Network

Abstract

Wavelet analysis is a variant of Fourier analysis, which can be used for time-frequency analysis of signal processing, and has achieved remarkable results in the field of image processing. The spike neural network is called the third-generation neural network, which is different from the previous generation, the neural network of the spike neural network is more inspired by neuroscience, and this neural network is constructed in a way closer to the human brain mechanism, which can be applied to many machine learning tasks. Image classification is one of the basic tasks in the field of computer vision. We explore the application of wavelet analysis to the training process of the spiking neural network, before the original data is input into the neural network, we process it with wavelet transform, so that the characteristics of the input data are easier to be learned by the neural network.
