Noise assisted image processing by ensembles of R-SETs

2017

AbstractWe study how noise can assist the processing of an image in a resistance-single electron transistor (R-SET) model. The image is an 8-bit black and white picture. Every grey level is codified linearly into a sub-threshold input potential applied for a prescribed time window to an ensemble of R-SETs that transforms it into a spiking frequency. The addition of a background white noise potential of high amplitude permits the ensemble to process the image by means of the stochastic resonance phenomenon. Aside from the positive aspects, we analyse the negative impact of using noise and how we can minimize it using redundancy and a longer measuring time. The results are compared with the c…
