[comp.ai.neural-nets] Please help: unoriented spatial kernel; Motion OC

jjstrout@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu (02/06/91)

        I am a student at Miami University (in Ohio!), and I'm trying to
program a C implementation of the Motion OC filter described by Grossberg
and Rudd in _NN_, Nov. 1989.  There is a term in Equation 6 that I don't
understand; it is F[j,i], "where F[j,i] is an unoriented spatial kernel."

I can't find "unoriented spatial kernel" (or anything like it) in my neural
networks books, and the Handbook of Mathematics mentions "kernel" only in
reference to the function under an integral, and I don't see how that applies
to the problem at hand.

        Can anyone help me?  What is this function F[j,i]; can it be defined
in simpler terms?  If so, I will very much appreciate your reply.

                                                Thank you,

                                                Joe Strout
