According to the present invention, a reflection surface is formed at the end of the optical waveguide forming a core so that the path of light can be exactly changed and is focused. A light source/photodetector is buried within a trench using the silicon optical bench and an optical waveguide is manually aligned on the surface of the silicon optical bench, so that alignment error between the light source/photodetector and the optical waveguide can be minimized. A ferrule into which the optical waveguide is inserted is fixed to an adaptor so that alignment error between the optical waveguide and the light source/photodetector is minimized. Therefore, the present invention can minimize the coupling loss in the process during which the optical signal is transmitted to increase the optical output.

The second-order neural network, which is made of adders and multipliers, corrects positional translations generated in a complex-log mapping unit to output the same result for the same object irrespective of the scale and/or rotation of the object. The present invention enables high-rate image pattern classification and recognition based on parallel processing, which is the advantage obtained in neural network models, because consistent neural networks and consistent network structure computation models are applied to all steps from the image input step to the pattern classifying and recognizing step.
