Abstract :
Properties and performances of associative memories, based on Complex-valued Synergetic Computer (CVSC), are explored in this paper. All the parameters of CVSC are encoded by complex values. CVSC is extended from the conventional Synergetic Computer (RVSC) in which the parameters are real values. Performances of associative memories in CVSC are investigated through a problem of image retrievals where the input images are partially occluded or noise-affected. From the experimental results concerning the retrieval performances related to various sizes of images and different levels of defectiveness of input images, we found that CVSC outperforms RVSC.
