3D SOM Neighborhood Algorithm

Abstract

Neighborhood algorithm is an important part of 3D SOM algorithm. We proposed three kinds of neighborhood shape and two kinds of neighborhood decay function for threedimensional self-organizing feature maps (3D SOM) algorithm and applied them to three-dimensional image compression coding. Experimental results show that the 3D orthogonal cross neighborhood shape and exponential function algorithm have better peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and subject quality than others.
