Subspace classifier is a popular pattern recognition method based on Karhunen-Loeve transform. This classifier describes a high dimensional pattern by using a reduced dimensional subspace. Because of the loss of information induced by dimensionality reduction, however, a subspace classifier sometimes shows unsatisfactory recognition performance to the patterns having quite similar principal components each other. In this paper, we propose the use of multiple novelty neural network classifiers constructed on novelty vectors to adopt minor components usually ignored and present a method of improving recognition performance through combining those with the subspace classifier. We develop the proposed classifier on handwritten numeral database and analyze its properties. Our proposed classifier shows better recognition performance compared with other classifiers, though it requires more weight links.

In this paper, a method that apply LP algorithm to image for speech recognition is suggested, using both speech and image information for recogniton of korean numeral speech. The input speech signal is pre-emphasized with parameter value 0.95, analyzed for B th LP coefficients using Hamming window, autocorrelation and Levinson-Durbin algorithm. Also, a gray image signal is analyzed for 2-dimensional LP coefficients using autocorrelation and Levinson-Durbin algorithm like speech. These parameters are used for input parameters of neural network using back-propagation algorithm. The recognition experiment was carried out at each noise level, three numeral speechs, '3','5', and '9' were enhanced. Thus, in case of recognizing speech with 2-dimensional LP parameters, it results in a high recognition rate, a low parameter size, and a simple algorithm with no additional feature extraction algorithm.

This paper describes the recognition of totally unconstrained handwritten numerals using neural networks. Neural networks with multiple output nodes have been successfully used to classify complex handwritten numerals. The recognition system consists of the preprocessing stage to extract features using Kirsch mask and the classification stage to recognize the numerals using the fully-connected recurrent neural networks (RNN). Simulation results with the numeral database of Concordia university, Montreal, Canada, are presented. The recognition system proposed in this paper outperforms other recognition systems reported on the same database.

This paper describes the implementation methods of the MLP (mulilayer perteptrons) recognizers for numerals and non-nummerals. The MLP has known to be a very efficient classifier to recognize handwritten numerals in terms of recognition accuracy, speed, and memory requirements. The MLP in the previous researches, however, focuses on the only numeral inputs and does not pay attention to non-numeral inputs with respect to recognition accuracy, rejection rates, and other characteristics. In this paper, we present some implementation methods of the MLP in the environments that numeral and non-numerals are mixed. The MLP had been developed by three methods, and investigated with three error types introduced. The experiments had been conducted on a total of about 63,000 numerals and non-numerals. The promising method to recognize numeral and non-numerals is described in terms of the three error types.

Recently, It is gradually raised necessity that thickness of thin film is measured accuracy and managed in industrial circles and medical world. Ultrasonic Signal processing method is likely to become a very powerful method for NDE method of detection of microdefects and thickness measurement of thin film below the limit of Ultrasonic distance resolution in the opaque materials, provides useful information that cannot be obtained by a conventional measuring system. In the present research, considering a thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution sandwiched between three substances as acoustical analysis model, demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic Signal processing technique using information of ultrasonic frequency for NDE of measurements of thin film thickness, sound velocity, and step height, regardless of interference phenomenon. Numeral information was deduced and quantified effective information from the image. Also, pattern recognition of a defected input image was performed by neural network algorithm. Input pattern of various numeral was composed combinationally, and then, it was studied by neural network. Furthermore, possibility of pattern recognition was confirmed on artifical defected input data formed by simulation. Finally, application on unknown input pattern was also examined.

An implementation method of real-time numeral recognizer based on gesture is presented in this paper for various information devices. The proposed algorithm steadily captures the motion of a hand on 3D open space with the Kinect sensor. The captured hand motion is simplified with PCA, in order to preserve the trace consistency and to minimize the trace variations due to noises and size changes. In addition, we also propose a new HMM using both the gradient and the positional features of the simplified hand stroke. As the result, the proposed algorithm has robust characteristics to the variations of the size and speed of hand motion. The recognition rate is increased up to 30%, because of this combined model. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm gives a high recognition rate about 98%.

A fuzzy classifier which needs various analyses of features using genetic algorithms is proposed. The fuzzy classifier has a simple structure, which contains a classification part based on fuzzy logic theory and a rule generation ation padptu sing genetic algorithms. The rule generation part determines optimal fuzzy membership functions and inclusior~ or exclusion of each feature in fuzzy classification rules. We analyzed recognition rate of a specific object, then added finer features repetitively, if necessary, to the object which has large misclassification rate. And we introduce repetitive analyses method for the minimum size of string and population, and for the improvement of recognition rates. This classifier is applied to three examples of the classification of iris data, the discrimination of thyroid gland cancer cells and the recognition of confusing handwritten and printed numerals. In the recognition of confusing handwritten and printed numerals, each sample numeral is classified into one of the groups which are divided according to the sample structure. The fuzzy classifier proposed in this paper has recognition rates of 98. 67% for iris data, 98.25% for thyroid gland cancer cells and 96.3% for confusing handwritten and printed numeral!;.

In this paper, we propose a feature vector and its applying method which can be utilized for the extraction of the car license plate region. The proposed feature vector is extracted from direction code histogram of edge direction of gradient vector of image. The feature vector extracted is forwarded to the MLP classifier which identifies character and garbage and then the recognition of the numeral and the location of the license plate region are performed. The experimental results show that the proposed methods are properly applied to the identification of character and garbage, the rough location of license plate, and the recognition of numeral in license plate region.

This paper proposes a new method of weighted template matching for machine-printed numeral recognition. The proposed weighted template matching, which emphasizes the feature of a pattern using adaptive Hamming distance on local feature areas, improves the recognition rate while template matching processes an input image as one global feature. Template matching is vulnerable to random noises that generate ragged outlines of a pattern when it is binarized. This paper offers a method of chain code trimming in order to remove ragged outlines. The method corrects specific chain codes within the chain codes of the inner and the outer contour of a pattern. The experiment compares confusion matrices of both the template matching and the proposed weighted template matching with chain code trimming. The result shows that the proposed method improves fairly the recognition rate of the machine-printed numerals.

임의 길이 숫자열을 인식하기 위해서는 우선 숫자열 영상을 인식기가 다룰 수 있는 형태로 변환해야 한다. 만일, 사용하는 인식기가 낱자 단위 인식기라면 낱자 단위로 분할하여야 하는데, 두자 이상의 숫자들이 접촉한 경우 정확한 분할이 어렵다. 이 논문은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 접촉 숫자쌍을 분할하지 않고 통째로 인식하는 방법을 사용한다. 필기 숫자열을 인식하기 위해 제안한 방법은 두 개의 인식기를 이용한다. 숫자열에서 분할된 패턴이 낱자인 경우 낱자 인시기가, 접촉 숫자쌍일 경우 접촉 숫자쌍 인식기가 인식한다. NIST 데이터베이스에 대한 실험 결과 2~10개의 숫자를 포함한 숫자열에 대하여 83.76%의 숫자열 인식률을 보여 접촉 숫자열 패턴을 낱자 단위로 분할하지 않고도 효과적으로 인식할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
