Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 320))

Abstract

Spiking Neural Networks are the third generation of Artificial Neural Networks and is fast gaining interest among researchers in image processing applications. The paper attempts to provide a state-of-the-art of SNNs in image processing. Several existing works have been surveyed and the probable research gap has been exposed.
