The application provides an image recognition
simulation model and
system, the image recognition
simulation model comprising: an
optical diffraction neural network for a handwritten
digit recognition task, the
optical diffraction neural network comprising: an input layer, a
diffraction layer and an output layer; the input layer modulates incident light into a
wavefront array carrying image information; the
diffraction layer performs multiple diffractions on the light output by the input layer to simulate a
convolution weight matrix, and adjusts a phase distribution in a manner of error back propagation; and the output layer generates a focused
light spot corresponding to the number of categories, the focused
light spot focusing on a number corresponding to a plurality of detection points, and a detection surface
light spot intensity distribution of the focused light spot is used to represent a classification probability. Through nano structure design, high degree of freedom regulation of
light field amplitude, phase and polarization is realized in a two-dimensional plane; meanwhile, through multi-layer cascading extension network depth, feature abstraction capability is improved, nonlinear mapping is realized through multi-layer cascading
diffraction, and a classification
light intensity distribution is directly output, and the
light intensity distribution represents a
classification result.
