This paper proposes a novel method for the recognition of passports based on the CDM(Conditional Dilation Morphology) masking and the ART2-based RBF neural networks. For the extraction of individual codes for recognizing, this paper targets code sequence blocks including individual codes by applying Sobel masking, horizontal smearing and a contour tracking algorithm on the passport image. Individual codes are recovered and extracted from the binarized areas by applying CDM masking and vertical smearing. This paper also proposes an ART2-based hybrid network that adapts the ART2 network for the middle layer. This network is applied to the recognition of individual codes. The experiment results showed that the proposed method has superior in performance in the recognition of passport.

In this paper, we propose an on-line recognition system of chinese characters using an adaptive resonance theory-1(ART-1) neural network. Strokes, primitive components of chinese characters are usually warped into a cursive form and classifying them is very difficult. To deal with such cursive strokes, we use an ART-1 neural network that has the following advantages: (1) it automatically assembles similar patterns together to form classes in a self-organized manner: (2) it directly accesses the recognition codes corresponding to binary input patterns after self-stabilizing; (3) it doesn't tends to get trapped in local minima, or globally incorrect solutions. A database for character recognition also dynamically constructed with generalized character lists, and a new character can be included simply by adding a new sequence to the list. Character recognition is achieved by traversing the chinese datbase with a sequence of recognized strokes and positional relations between the strokes. To verify the performance of the system. We tested it for 1800 daily-used basic chinese second per character. This results suggest that the proposed system is pertinent to be put into practical use.

In this paper, we propose a method about the extraction of the pedestrian tracking trajectory in the road and we used the method of mosaic background extraction and adaptive neural network for automatic pedestrian tracking system. We used mosaic background extraction to overcome ghost phenomenon. And we detected pedestrian using differential image analysis. We used adaptive neural network for multiple pedestrian tracking that non­rigid form moving. The ART2 network is capable of detecting the mass­centers of moving objects within one frame. The history of neurons positions in the sequential frames approximates the traces of the targets. The experiments done with the network in simulated environment show promising results.

A fuzzy ARTMAP neural network and a fuzzy ART neural network are proposed to identify $H_2S,\;NH_3$, and their mixtures and to estimate their concentrations, respectively. Features are extracted from a tin oxide gas sensor operated in a thermal modulation plan. After dimensions of the features are reduced by a preprocessing scheme, the features are fed into the proposed fuzzy neural networks. By computer simulations, the proposed method is shown to be fast in learning and stable in concentration estimating compared with other methods.

This study deals with the part-machine grouping (PMG) that considers realistic manufacturing factors, such as the machine duplication, operation sequences with multiple visits to the same machine, and production volumes of parts. Basically, this study is an extension of Won(2006) that has adopted fuzzy ART neural network to group parts and machines. The proposed fuzzy ART neural network algorithm is implemented with an ancillary procedure to enhance the block diagonal solution by rearranging the order of input presentation. Computational experiments applied to large-size PMG data sets with a psuedo-replicated clustering procedure show effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Welding is essential for the manufacture of a range of engineering components which may vary from very large structures such as ships and bridges to very complex structures such as aircraft engines, or miniature components for microelectronic applications. Especially, a domestic situation of the welding automation is still depend on the arc sensing system in comparison to the vision sensing system. Specially, the gap-detecting of workpiece using conventional arc sensor is proposed in this study. As a same principle, a welding current varies with the size of a welding gap. This study introduce to the fuzzy membership filter to cancel a high frequency noise of welding current, and ART2 which has the competitive learning network classifies the signal patterns the filtered welding signal. A welding current possesses a specific pattern according to the existence or the size of a welding gap. These specific patterns result in different classification in comparison with an occasion for no welding gap. The patterns in each case of 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and no welding gap are identified by the artificial neural network.

In this paper, we propose car license plate recognition using morphological information and an enhanced neural network. Morphological information on horizontal and vertical edges was used to extract the license plate from a car image. We used a contour tracking algorithm combined with the method of histogram and location information to extract individual characters in the extracted plate. The enhanced neural network is proposed for recognizing them, which has the method of combining the ART-1 and the supervised teaming method. The proposed method has applied to real world car images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better the extraction rates than the methods with information of the thresholding, the RGB and the HSI, respectively. And the proposed neural network has better recognition performance than the conventional neural networks.

As it is the most important to make sure security and reliability for nuclear Power Plant, it's considered the most crucial issues to develop a fault detective and diagnostic system in spite of multiple hardware redundancy in itself. To develop an algorithm for a fault diagnosis in the nuclear PWR steam generator, this paper proposes a method based on ART2(adaptive resonance theory 2) neural network that senses and classifies troubles occurred in the system. The fault diagnosis system consists of fault detective part to sense occurred troubles, parameter estimation part to identify changed system parameters and fault classification part to understand types of troubles occurred. The fault classification part Is composed of a fault classifier that uses ART2 neural network. The Performance of the proposed fault diagnosis a18orithm was corroborated by applying in the steam generator.

In this paper, we propose a compact Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based tracker in conjunction with a particle filter architecture, in which the CNN model operates as an accurate candidates estimator, while the particle filter predicts the target motion dynamics, lowering the overall number of calculations and refines the resulting target bounding box. Experiments were conducted on the Online Object Tracking Benchmark (OTB) [34] dataset and comparison analysis in respect to other state-of-art has been performed based on accuracy and precision, indicating that the proposed algorithm outperforms all state-of-the-art trackers included in the OTB dataset, specifically, TLD [16], MIL [1], SCM [36] and ASLA [15]. Also, a comprehensive speed performance analysis showed average frames per second (FPS) among the top-10 trackers from the OTB dataset [34].
