Detailed Description

The winner-take-all base class.

This is a 2D winner-take-all, a.k.a., spatial maximum detector. It is just a base class with virtual function definitions. Various winner-take-all variants are available below, which provide implementations for these virtual functions. The WTA receives input through the input() function, and its current state (membrane potential of neurons) can be retrieved using getV(). Various inplementations will typically derive from class Image and inherit all the standard methods of class Image.

See also WinnerTakeAllAdapter for an intermediate base class that provides the getV() output functions. Why are those functions not in this base class? The reason is that Brain only requires the input interface of WinnerTakeAll, and separating the output interface allows us to make a stub class that has just no-op input functions.
