An efficient sequential method of tracing contour chains around foreground objects in an image is presented. the image is scanned row by row, extracting the run lengths of each row, determiningtheir connectivity with runs in the preceding row, and incrementally building up contour chains accordingly. the contours are stored in a new list structure that reflects their topological nesting in the image. the organization of this list provides a greater degree of topological information than is provided by other methods.

In this paper we present the result of an investigation on a new method to perform online character recognition. the method is based on a genetic algorithm used as the engine of a learning system to produce prototypes of the characters, and on a string matcher to perform the classification. the learning mechanism, provided by a genetic algorithm, allows the system to have both a writer independent core and an adaptation scheme to finely tune the recognizer to the writer's style. Preliminary experiments have shown that the method is very promising, since it produces prototypes general enough to cope withthe large variability encountered when handling specimen produced by different writers. Moreover, it provides a natural and effective writer-dependent learning of new symbols.

While a multitude of template matching strategies have been applied to printed text recognition, the variation seen in handprinted characters generally reduces the usefulness of this technique. What is suggested in this paper is the use of scalable vector templates, which can be used to generate a template withthe same scale and line width attributes as an arbitrary input character image. the best match is the template having the smallest total distance between black pixels. Multiple templates are used for each character and digits only are used as a sample data set.

Perceptual grouping is a key step in vision to organize image data into structural hypotheses to be used for high level analysis. We propose data allocation and load balancing strategies which reduce the communication cost and evenly distribute the grouping operations among the processors. these techniques result in scalable algorithms for performing perceptual grouping on CM-5. the performance of our algorithms depends only on the total grouping operations generated by the image data and is independent of the distribution of the data among the processors. Our implementations show that given a 1 K/spl times/1 K input image, extraction of line segments and several perceptual grouping steps can be performed in 5.0 seconds using a partition of CM-5 having 32 processing nodes. A serial implementation of these steps on a Sun Sparc 400 takes more than 2 minutes.

this paper compares the performance of several classifier algorithms on a standard database of handwritten digits. We consider not only raw accuracy, but also training time, recognition time, and memory requirements. When available, we report measurements of the fraction of patterns that must be rejected so that the remaining patterns have misclassification rates less than a given threshold.

this paper describes a method of real-time facial-feature extraction which is based on matching techniques. the method is composed of facial-area extraction and mouth-area extraction using colour histogram matching, and eye-area extraction using template matching. By the combination of these methods, we can realize real-time processing, user-independent recognition and tolerance to changes of the environment. Also, this paper touches on neural networks which can extract characteristics for recognizing the shape of facial parts. the methods were implemented in an experimental image processing system, and we discuss the cases that the system is applied to man-machine interface using facial gesture and to sign language translation.

Selecting a set of features which is optimal for a given task is a problem which plays an important role in a wide variety of contexts including patternrecognition, adaptive control, and machinelearning. Our experience with traditional feature selection algorithms in the domain of machinelearning lead to an appreciation for their computational efficiency and a concern for their brittleness. this paper describes an alternate approach to feature selection which uses genetic algorithms as the primary search component. Results are presented which suggest that genetic algorithms can be used to increase the robustness of feature selection algorithms without a significant decrease in computational efficiency.

During the course of most bioprocess development programs a large amount of process data is generated and stored. However, while these data records contain important information about the process, little or no use is made of this asset. the work described here uses a neural network approach to `learn' to recognize patterns in fermentation data. Neural networks, trained using fermentation data generated from previous runs, are then used to interpret data from a new fermentation. We propose a task decomposition approach to the problem. the approach involves decomposing the problem of bioprocess data interpretation into specific tasks. Separate neural networks are trained to perform each of these tasks which include fault diagnosis, growth phase determination and metabolic condition evaluation. these trained networks are combined into a multiple neural network hierarchy for the diagnosis of bioprocess data. the methodology is evaluated using experimental data from fed-batch, Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentations. We argue that the task decomposition approach taken here allows for each network to develop a task specific representation and that this in turn, can lead to network activations and connection weights that are more clearly interpretable. these expert networks can now be pruned to remove nodes that do not contribute significant additional information.

patternrecognition is a central topic in contemporary computer sciences, with continuously evolving topics, challenges, and methods, including machinelearning, content-based image retrieval, and model- and knowledge-based - proaches, just to name a few. the Iberoamerican Congress on pattern Recog- tion (CIARP) has become established as a high-quality conference, highlighting the recent evolution of the domain. these proceedings include all papers presented during the 15th edition of this conference, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in November 2010. As was the case for previous conferences, CIARP 2010 attracted parti- pants from around the world withthe aim of promoting and disseminating - going research on mathematical methods and computing techniques for patternrecognition, computer vision, image analysis, and speech recognition, as well as their applications in such diverse areas as robotics, health, entertainment, space exploration, telecommunications, datamining, document analysis,and natural language processing and recognition, to name only a few of them. Moreover, it provided a forum for scienti?c research, experience exchange, sharing new kno- edge and increasing cooperation between research groups in patternrecognition and related areas. It is important to underline that these conferences have contributed sign- icantly to the growth of national associations for patternrecognition in the Iberoamerican region, all of them as members of the international Association for patternrecognition (IAPR).
