ABSTRACT:
A training apparatus for establishing the network definition function of a trainable processing apparatus, such as, for example, a neural network, is disclosed. The training apparatus analyzes a signal and includes means for providing a training sequence, the training sequence including a first signal and a distorted version of the first signal. The training sequence is transmitted to an analysis means which generates a distortion perception measure that indicates the extent to which the distortion would be perceptible to a human observer. The network definition function is determined by applying the distortion perception measure to the trainable processing apparatus.
