Abstract

In order to obtain a more stable and more error-tolerant method of data reduction, a neural network algorithm has been developed to process thermal images of the human body. The basis backpropagation network consists of three layers of neuron units. The minimum network consists of an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. Each unit in the input layer has a feedforward connection to each of the hidden layer units. Similarly, each of the hidden layer units has a feedforward connection to each of the output layer units. Trained on a computed ideal dataset, this algorithm has been shown to more reliably process actual image data.
