title: Growing 3D-SOMs with 2D-input layer as a classification tool in a motion detection system.
abstract: This paper describes the employment of an 'Adaptive Growing Three-Dimensional Self-Organizing Map' for the classification of images. First a short description of growing SOMs is given and the fundamental advantages are mentioned. Then an extension of the original SOM from two to three dimensions with growing feature is presented. By means of some selected examples the general behavior of the algorithm is illustrated.
