Using the quantization error from Self-Organized Map (SOM) output for detecting critical variability in large bodies of image time series in less than a minute

29 Oct 2017  ·  Birgitta Dresp-Langley, John Mwangi Wandeto ·

The quantization error (QE) from SOM applied on time series of spatial contrast images with variable relative amount of white and dark pixel contents, as in monochromatic medical images or satellite images, is proven a reliable indicator of potentially critical changes in image homogeneity. The QE is shown to increase linearly with the variability in spatial contrast contents across time when contrast intensity is kept constant.
