The responses we desire for these input images are ‘‘1’’ for the output neuron corresponding to the correct orientation and ‘‘0’’ for the other neurons. We can compute the values of the correlation peaks provided by the filters for every image. This gives us the training input vectors for the second layer. 27 Once the network is designed, we present as inputs the same 27 reconstructed test images we used when testing the first layer. 16 (b) shows the error rates of the classification versus the threshold value.
