This paper presents a new electromyogram (EMG) pattern recognition method based on the Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) algorithm which is originally devised for image pattern recognition. In the modified HTM algorithm, a simplified two-level structure with spatial pooler, temporal pooler, and supervised mapper is proposed for efficient learning and classification of the EMG signals. To enhance the recognition performance, the category information is utilized not only in the supervised mapper but also in the temporal pooler. The experimental results show that the ten kinds of hand motion are successfully recognized.

Pattern recognition is one of the most common problems encountered in engineering and scientific disciplines, which involves developing prediction or classification models from historic data or training samples. This paper introduces a new approach, called the Representational Capability (RC) algorithm, to handle pattern recognition problems using radial basis function (RBF) models. The RC algorithm has been developed based on the mathematical properties of the interpolation and design matrices of RBF models. The model development process based on this algorithm not only yields the best model in the sense of balancing its parsimony and generalization ability, but also provides insights into the design process by employing a design parameter (${\delta}$). We discuss the RC algorithm and its use at length via an illustrative example. In addition, RBF classification models are developed for heart disease diagnosis.

In this study, researchers developed the estimative algorithm for artificial defects in semiconductor packages and performed it by pattern recognition technology. For this purpose, the estimative algorithm was included that researchers made software with MATLAB. The software consists of some procedures including ultrasonic image acquisition, equalization filtering, Self-Organizing Map and Backpropagation Neural Network. Self-Organizing Map and Backpropagation Neural Network are belong to methods of Neural Networks. And the pattern recognition technology has applied to classify three kinds of detective patterns in semiconductor packages: Crack, Delamination and Normal. According to the results, we were confirmed that estimative algorithm was provided the recognition rates of $75.7\%$ (for Crack) and $83_4\%$ (for Delamination) and $87.2\%$ (for Normal).

This paper presents a lip print recognition by the pattern kernels for a personal identification. A lip print recognition is developed less than the other physical attributes of a fingerprint, a voice pattern, a retinal blood/vessel pattern, or a facial recognition. A new method is proposed to recognize a lip print bi the pattern kernels. The pattern kernels are a function consisted of some local lip print pattern masks. This function converts the information on a lip print into the digital data. The recognition in the multi-resolution system is more reliable than recognition in the single-resolution system. The results show that the proposed algorithm by the multi-resolution architecture can be efficiently realized.

In this paper, a machine vision system for recognizing and classifying the patterns and marks engraved by die molding or laser marking on the glass panels of computer monitors is suggested and evaluated experimentally. The vision system is equipped with a neural network and an NGC pattern classifier including searching process based on normalized grayscale correlation and adaptive binarization. This system is found to be applicable even to the cases in which the segmentation of the pattern area from the background using ordinary blob coloring technique is quite difficult. The inspection process is accomplished by the use of the NGC hypothesis and ANN verification. The proposed pattern recognition system is composed of three parts: NGC matching process and the preprocessing unit for acquiring the best quality of binary image data, a neural network-based recognition algorithm, and the learning algorithm for the neural network. Another contribution of this paper is the method of generating the training patterns from only a few typical product samples in place of real images of all types of good products.

In this paper, a new traffic sign detection algorithm.. and a symbol recognition algorithm are proposed. For traffic sign detection, a dominant color transform is introduced, which serves as a tool of highlighting a dominant primary color, while discarding the other two primary colors. For symbol recognition, the curvilinear shape distribution on a circle centered on the centroid of symbol, called a circular pattern vector, is used as a spatial feature of symbol. The circular pattern vector is invariant to scaling, translation, and rotation. As simulation results, the effectiveness of traffic sign detection and recognition algorithms are confirmed, and it is shown that group of circular patter vectors based on concentric circles is more effective than circular pattern vector of a single circle for a given equivalent number of elements of vectors.

Pattern recognition of a cucumber were conducted to detect directly the binary images by using thresholding method, which have the threshold level at the optimum intensity value. By restricting conditions of learning pattern, output patterns could be extracted from the same and similar input patterns by the algorithm. The algorithm of pattern recognition was developed to determine the position of the cucumber from a real image within working condition. The algorithm, designed and developed for this project, learned two, three or four learning pattern, and each learning pattern applied it to twenty sample patterns. The restored success rate of output pattern to sample pattern form two, three or four learning pattern was 65.0%, 45.0%, 12.5% respectively. The more number of learning pattern had, the more number of different out pattern detected when it was conversed. Detection of feature pattern of cucumber was processed by using auto scanning with real image of 30 by 30 pixel. The computing times required to execute the processing time of cucumber recognition took 0.5 to 1 second. Also, five real images tested, false pattern to the learning pattern is found that it has an elimination rate which is range from 96 to 98%. Some output patterns was recognized as a cucumber by the algorithm with the conditions. the rate of false recognition was range from 0.1 to 4.2%.

[1] and [2] present an approach to diagnosing possible defects in the mechanical systems of a nuclear power plant. In this paper, by using a fault library as a database and training data, we develop a diagnostic algorithm 1) to decide whether an Air Operated Valve system is sound or not and 2) to identify the defect from which an Air-Operated Valve system suffers, if any. This algorithm is composed of three stages: a neural net stage, a non-neural net stage, and an integration stage. The neural net stage is a simple perceptron, a pattern-recognition module, using a neural net. The non-neural net stage is a simple pattern-matching algorithm, which translates the degree of matching into a corresponding number. The integration stage collects each output and makes a decision. We present a simulation result and confirm that the developed algorithm works accurately, if the input matches one in the database.

Most pattern classifiers have been designed based on the ML (Maximum Likelihood) training algorithm which is simple and relatively powerful. The ML training is an efficient algorithm to individually estimate the model parameters of each class under the assumption that all class models in a classifier are statistically independent. That assumption, however, is not valid in many real situations, which degrades the performance of the classifier. In this paper, we propose a minimum-error-rate training algorithm based on the MAP (Maximum a Posteriori) approach. The algorithm regards the normalized outputs of the classifier as estimates of the a posteriori probability, and tries to maximize those estimates. According to Bayes decision theory, the proposed algorithm satisfies the condition of minimum-error-rate classificatin. We apply this algorithm to NPM (Neural Prediction Model) for speech recognition, and derive new disrminative training algorithms. Experimental results on ten Korean digits recognition have shown the reduction of 37.5% of the number of recognition errors.
