Abstract: Memristive neural networks can effectively improve the complexity of traditional neural network circuits，the difficulty of integration and high energy consumption． Membrane，memristive neural networks and the application of current memristive neural networks in image processing are summarized． Based on the memristive property，the dynamic variable of the neural network synapse is realized，which makes the memristive neural networks having more advantages and wider application range than the traditional neural networks in the field of image processing． The future development prospects of memristive neural networks are forecasted．

Key words: memristor, memristor neural network, image processing
