The development of a fast, accurate, and inexpensive position-controlled pneumatic actuator that may be applied to various practical positioning applications with various external loads is described in this paper. A novel modified pulse-width modulation (MPWM) valve pulsing algorithm allows on/off solenoid valves to be used in place of costly servo valves. A comparison between the system response of the standard PWM technique and that of the modified PWM technique shows that the performance of the proposed technique was significantly increased. A state-feedback controller with position, velocity and acceleration feedback was successfully implemented as a continuous controller. A switching algorithm for control parameters using a learning vector quantization neural network (LVQNN) has newly proposed, which classifies the external load of the pneumatic actuator. The effectiveness of this proposed control algorithm with smooth switching control has been demonstrated through experiments with various external loads.

Even though the impact of manufacturing quality to reliability is not considered much as well as that of design area, a major cause of an early failure of the product is known as manufacturing problem. This research applies two different types of neural network algorithms, the Back propagation (BP) algorithm and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm, to identify and classify the nonrandom variation pattern on the control chart based on knowledge-based diagnosis of dimensional variation. The performance and efficiency of both algorithms are evaluated to choose the better pattern recognition system for auto body assembly process. To analyze hundred percent of the data obtained by Optical Coordinate Measurement Machine (OCMM), this research considers an application in which individual observations rather than subsample means are used. A case study for analysis of OCMM data in underbody assembly process is presented to demonstrate the proposed knowledge-based pattern recognition system.

A service robot is expected to be useful in indoor environment such as a hotel, a hospital and so on. However, many service robots are driven by wheels so that they cannot climb stairs to move to other floors. If the robot cannot use elevators. In this paper, the mobile manipulator system was developed, which can operate numeral buttons on the operating panel in the elevator. To perform this task, the robot is composed of an image recognition module, an ultrasonic sensor module and a manipulator. The robot can recognize numeral buttons and an end-effector in manipulator by the vision system. The Learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm is used to recognize the number on the button. The barcode mark on the end-effector is used to recognize the end-effector. The manipulator can push numeral buttons using informations captured by the vision system. The proposed method is evaluated by experiments.

본 논문에서는 신경회로망을 이용한 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) 기반 위치인식 시스템을 제안하였다. 위치를 지정한 다수의 고정노드를 구성하고, 이동노드로부터 수신되는 RSSI를 측정한다. LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization) 네트워크의 학습을 위해 정해진 위치 정보를 목표값으로 하여 고정노드에서 측정된 RSSI를 입력으로 사용하여 학습을 진행한다. 실내에 고정노드를 배치하고, 실험을 통해서 삼각측량법과 위치 추적 성능을 검토하였다.

The CSVM(Current Support Vector Machine) that is a digital architecture performing all phases of recognition process including kernel computing, learning, and recall of SVM(Support Vector Machine) on a chip is proposed. Concurrent operation by parallel architecture of elements generates high speed and throughput. The classification problems of bio data having high dimension are solved fast and easily using the CSVM. Quadratic programming in original SVM learning algorithm is not suitable for hardware implementation, due to its complexity and large memory consumption. Hardware-friendly SVM learning algorithms, kernel adatron and kernel perceptron, are embedded on a chip. Experiments on fixed-point algorithm having quantization error are performed and their results are compared with floating-point algorithm. CSVM implemented on FPGA chip generates fast and accurate results on high dimensional cancer data.

A derivation method for a quantized gradient for machine learning on an embedded system is proposed, in this paper. The proposed differentiation method induces the quantized gradient vector to an objective function and provides that the validation of the directional derivation. Moreover, mathematical analysis shows that the sequence yielded by the learning equation based on the proposed quantization converges to the optimal point of the quantized objective function when the quantized parameter is sufficiently large. The simulation result shows that the optimization solver based on the proposed quantized method represents sufficient performance in comparison to the conventional method based on the floating-point system.

The efficient representation and encoding of signals with limited resources, e.g., finite storage capacity and restricted transmission bandwidth, is a fundamental problem in technical information processing systems. Typically under realistic circumstances, the encoding and communication of message has to deal with different sources of noise and disturbances. In this paper, I propose a unifying approach to data compression by robust vector quantization, which explicitly deals with channel noise, and random elimination of prototypes. The resulting algorithm is able to limit the detrimental effect of noise in a very general communication scenario. In this paper, based on the robust vector quantization I have an experiment about speech coding.

본 논문에서는 차량 번호판에서 추출된 문자영역의 DCT(Digital Cosine Transform) 계수와 LVQ(Learning Vector quantization) 신경회로망을 이용하여 상대적으로 간결한 구조로 잡음의 영향을 적게 받는 차량 번호판 인식 시스템을 제안하였다. 입력된 차량영상의 RGB칼라정보를 이용하여 번호판 영역을 추출하고 추출된 번호판의 히스토그램과 문자의 상대적 위치정보를 병합하여 문자영역을 추출하였다. 이렇게 추출된 문자영역의 명암도 영상에 DCT를 적용하여 얻은 특징 벡터를 LVQ신경회로망의 입력으로 사용하여 인식 과정을 수행한다. 본 논문의 실험과정에서는 다양한 환경에서 촬영된 109대의 자가용 차량영상에 대하여 제안된 시스템을 실험하였으며 상대적으로 높은 번호판 영역 추출율과 인식률을 보였다.

최근에 연구되기 시작한 폴리(Foley) 음향 생성 모델 중 벡터 양자화 변분 오토인코더(Vector Quantized-Variational AutoEncoder, VQ-VAE) 구조와 Pixelsnail 등 생성모델을 활용한 생성 기법은 중요한 연구대상 중 하나이다. 한편, 딥러닝 기반의 음향 신호의 압축/복원 분야에서는 기존의 VQ-VAE 구조에 비해 잔여 벡터 양자화 기술이 더 적합한 것으로 보고되고 있으며, 따라서 본 논문에서는 폴리 음향 생성 분야에서도 잔여 벡터 양자화 기술이 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을지 연구하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 기존의 VQ-VAE 기반의 폴리 음향 생성 모델에 잔여 벡터 양자화 기술을 적용하되, Pixelsnail 등 기존의 다른 모델과 호환이 가능하고 연산 자원의 소모를 늘리지 않는 모델을 고안하여 그 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 효과를 검증하기 위하여 DCASE2023 Task7의 데이터를 활용하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 그 결과 평균적으로 0.3 가량의 Fréchet audio distance 의 향상을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 다만 그 성능 향상의 정도가 제한적이었으며, 이는 연산 자원의 소모를 유지하기 위하여 시간-주파수축의 분해능이 저하된 영향으로 판단된다.
