Image Segmentation Using Frequency Locking of Coupled Oscillators
Synchronization of coupled oscillators is observed at multiple levels of neural systems, and has been shown to play an important function in visual perception. We propose a computing system based on locally coupled oscillator networks for image segmentation. The system can serve as the preprocessing front-end of an image processing pipeline where the common frequencies of clusters of oscillators reflect the segmentation results. To demonstrate the feasibility of our design, the system is simulated and tested on a human face image dataset and its performance is compared with traditional intensity threshold based algorithms. Our system shows both better performance and higher noise tolerance than traditional methods.

Multi-Phase Locking Value: A Generalized Method for Determining Instantaneous Multi-frequency Phase Coupling
Many physical, biological and neural systems behave as coupled oscillators, with characteristic phase coupling across different frequencies. Methods such as $n:m$ phase locking value and bi-phase locking value have previ…

We introduce a scalar reduction method beyond weak perturbations for forced or coupled systems to determine the existence and stability of $n{:}m$ phase-locked states affected by heterogeneity. We consider various biolog…
