Many technical methods are used for nondestructive testing field for solid materials. Among those, ultrasonic inspection methods are widely used and one of the popular methods involves the extraction of an appropriate set of features followed by the use of a neural network for the classification of the signals in the feature space. This paper describes an approach which uses LMS method to determine the coordinates of the ultrasonic probe followed by the use of SAFT with centroid technique to estimate the location of the ultrasonic reflector. The method is employed for classifying UT-NDE signals from the steam generator tubes in a nuclear power plant. The classification results are presented for the ultrasonic signals from cracks and deposits within steam generator tubes.

This paper presents a translation, rotation and scale invariant methodology for the recognition of closed planar shape images using the bispectrum of a contour sequence and the learning vector quantization(LVQ) neural classifier. The contour sequences obtained from the closed planar images represent the Euclidean distance between the centroid and all boundary pixels of the shape, and are related to the overall shape of the images. The higher order spectra based on third order cumulants is applied to tihs contour sample to extract fifteen bispectral feature vectors for each planar image. There feature vector, which are invariant to shape translation, rotation and scale transformation, can be used to represent two0dimensional planar images and are fed into a neural network classifier. The LVQ architecture is chosen as a neural classifier because the network is easy and fast to train, the structure is relatively simple. The experimental recognition processes with eight different hapes of aircraft images are presented to illustrate the high performance of this proposed method even the target images are significantly corrupted by noise.

In this study, the effects and the interactions of water content, SP-binder ratio, and water-binder ratio on the workability performance of concrete were investigated. The experiments were designed based on flatted simplex-centroid experiment design modified from standard simplex-centroid one. The data gotten from the design was used to build the concrete slump model using neural networks. Research reported in this paper shows that a small number of slump experiments can be performed and meaningful data obtained with the experiment design. Such data would be suitable for building slump model using neural networks. The trained network can be satisfactorily used for exploring the effects of the components and their interactions on the workability of concrete. It has found that a high water content and a high SP/b ratio is essential for high workability, but achieving this by increasing these parameters will not in itself guarantee high workability. The w/b played a very important role in producing workability and had rather profound effects; however, the medium value about 0.4 is the best w/b to reach high slump without too much effort on trying to find the appropriate water content and SP/b.

본 논문에서는 중심신경망을 이용하여 위성영상으로부터 직사각형 형태의 3차원 건물의 지붕모델을 재구성하는 방법을 연구하였다. 제안된 3차원 지붕모델 재구성 기법의 핵심은 3차원 선소의 군집화에 있다. 이를 위해 한 쌍의 스테레오 영상으로부터 구해진 DEM (Digital Elevation Map) 데이터와 2차원 선소에 의해서 3자원 선소를 발생하였다. 제안된 군집화 과정은 중심신경망을 이용한 방법에 의해 수행되며, 2단계로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 선소 추출과정에서 끊어지거나, 중복된 3차원 선소를 건물을 이루는 주된 선소로 군집화하고, 두 번째 단계에서는 건물을 구성하는 주된 선소를 구하기 위해 서로 평행인 선소들의 군으로 군집화를 수행한다. 이 군집화 결과를 최종 클러스터링 과정을 통해 직사각형 형태의 지붕모델로 재구성하게 된다. 제안된 방법이 대전지역의 고해상도 IKONOS 위성영상에 의해 실험되었다. 재구성된 건물모델이 원래 건물의 위치와 형태를 대체로 정확히 반영하여, 본 논문에서 제안된 기법을 고해상도 위성영상에 적용하여 도시지역의 건물모델을 구축하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음이 입증되었다.

This paper propose a method for pattern recogniton using spectrum analyzer and fuzzy ARTMAP. Contour sequences obtained from 2-D planar images represent the Euclidean distance between the centroid and all boundary pixels of the shape, and are related to the overall shape of the images. The Fourier transform of contour sequence and spectrum analyzer are used as a means of feature selection and data reduction. The three dimensional spectral feature vectors are extracted by spectrum analyzer from the FFT spectrum. These Spectral feature vectors are invariant to shape translation, rotation, and scale transformations. The fuzzy ARTMAP neural network which is combined with two fuzzy ART modules is trained and tested with these feature vectors. The experiments include 4 aircrafts and 4 industrial parts recognition process are presented to illustrate the high performance of this proposed method in the ion problems of noisv shapes.

In the present study, the neural network (NN) model with cluster analysis method was developed to predict storm surge in the whole Korean coastal regions with special focuses on the regional extension. The model used in this study is NN model for each cluster (CL-NN) with the cluster analysis. In order to find the optimal clustering of the stations, agglomerative method among hierarchical clustering methods was used. Various stations were clustered each other according to the centroid-linkage criterion and the cluster analysis should stop when the distances between merged groups exceed any criterion. Finally the CL-NN can be constructed for predicting storm surge in the cluster regions. To validate model results, predicted sea level value from CL-NN model was compared with that of conventional harmonic analysis (HA) and of the NN model in each region. The forecast values from NN and CL-NN models show more accuracy with observed data than that of HA. Especially the statistics analysis such as RMSE and correlation coefficient shows little differences between CL-NN and NN model results. These results show that cluster analysis and CL-NN model can be applied in the regional storm surge prediction and developed forecast system.

Self-Oranizing Map(SOM) is an unsupervised neural network providing cluster analysis of high dimensional input data. The output from the SOM is represented in map that help us to explore data. The weak point of conventional SOM is when the map is large, it take a long time to train the data. The computing time is known to be O(MN) for trainning to find the winning node (M,N are the number of nodes in width and height of the map). This paper presents a new method to reduce the computing time by creating new map. Each node in a new map is the centroid of nodes' group that are in the original map. After create a new map, we find the winning node of this map, then find the winning node in original map only in nodes that are represented by the winning node from the new map. This new method is called "High Speed Self-Oranizing Map"(HS-SOM). Our experiment use HS-SOM to cluster documents and compare with SOM. The results from the experiment shows that HS-SOM can reduce computing time by 30%-50% over conventional SOM.

A personal computer based color machine vision system with video camera and fluorescent lighting system was used to generate images of stationary tobacco leaves. Image processing algorithms were developed to extract both the geometric and the color features of tobacco leaves. Geometric features include area, perimeter, centroid, roundness and complex ratio. Color calibration scheme was developed to convert measured pixel values to the standard color unit using both statistics and artificial neural network algorithm. Improved back propagation algorithm showed less sum of square errors than multiple linear regression. Color features provide not only quality evaluation quantities but the accurate color measurement. Those quality features would be useful in grading tobacco automatically. This system would also be useful in measuring visual features of other agricultural products.
