Abstract:The Cellular Neural Network (CNN) is an artificial neural network of the nearest neighbour
interaction type. It has been used for image processing, pattern recognition, moving object detection, signal
processing, augmented reality and etc. The cellular neural network CMOS array was implemented by Anguita et
al [1 - 5] and Dalla Betta et al [6]. The design of a cellular neural network template is an important problem,
and has received wide attention [7 - 9]. Based on the dynamic analysis of a cellular neural network, this paper
presents, a design method for the template of the hole-filler used to improve the performance of the handwritten
character recognition using Leapfrog method.
