Abstract

A self-organizing map (SOM) can be seen as an analytical tool to discover some underlying rules in the given data set. Based on such distinctive nature called topology-preserving projection, a new method for generating intermediate patterns was proposed. Then, following to this method, producing animation as a series of backward-projected patterns just like a flip book is tried in this article.
