Fig.2. Mapping of feature vector to the output  The SOM introduced by Kohonen [11], is an unsupervised learning neural network. They perform classification by a method that learns from data, instead of using a given rule set. SOM projects a high dimensional space to a one or two dimensional discrete lattice of neuron units. Each node of the map is defined by a vector Wj whose elements are adjusted during the training. An important feature of this neural network is its ability to process noisy data. The map preserves topological relationships between inputs in a way that neighbouring inputs in the input space are mapped to neighbouring neurons in the map space [12].
