On this paper, we propose SOSL(Self-Organized Supervised Learning) and it's architecture SOSL is hybrid type neural network. It consists of several CBP (Component Back Propagation) neural networks, and a modified PCA neural networks. CBP neural networks perform supervised learning procedure in parallel to clustered and complex input patterns. Modified PCA networks perform it's learning in order to transform dimensions of original input patterns to lower dimensions by clustering and local projection. Proposed SOSL can effectively apply to neural network learning with large input patterns results in huge networks size.

We proposed an enhanced extraction method of vehicle plate, in which both the brightness variation of gray and the Hue value of HSI color model were used. For the extraction of the vehicle plate from a vehicle image, first of all, candidate regions for the vehicle plate were extracted from the image by using the property of brightness variation of the image. A real place region was determined among candidate regions by the density of pixels with the Hue value of green and white. For- extracting the feature area containing characters from the extracted vehicle plate, we used the histogram-based approach of individual characters. And we proposed and applied for the recognition of characters the enhanced ART2 algorithm which support the dynamical establishment of the vigilance threshold with the genera]iced union operator of Yager. In addition, we propose an enhanced SOSL algorithm which is integrated both enhanced ART2 and supervised learning methods. The performance evaluation was performed using 100's real vehicle images and the evaluation results demonstrated that the extraction rates of tole proposed extraction method were improved, compared with that of previous methods based un brightness variation, RGB and HSI individually . Furthermore, the recognition rates of the proposed algorithms were improved much more than that of the conventional ART2 and BP algorithms.
