| Abstract: | A modified counter propagation network model and an extended self-organizing map model have the same three-layer network architecture
while employing slightly different learning rules. Their network architecture comprises an input layer, a Kohonen layer and
an output layer. The neurons between two neighboring layers are fully connected and the neighboring neurons within the Kohonen
layer also have neighborhood connections. The modified counter propagation network model employs the Kohonen algorithm to
train the Kohonen layer while using the Widrow–Hoff rule to train the output layer. However, the extended self-organizing
map model applies a modified Kohonen’s learning rule to train both the Kohonen layer and the output layer. This paper compares
the performances of these two models in supervised classification of remotely sensed data. The training results show that
compared to the extended self-organizing map model, the modified counter propagation model has faster learning speed but larger
output errors. The classification results indicate that the extended self-organizing map model has a faster classification
speed and a much higher classification precision than the modified counter propagation model. |
