imageprocessing and machine learning communities have long addressed the problems involved in the analysis of large high-dimensional data sets. To deal with high-dimensional data efficiently, learning core properties of given data set is important. The manifold learning methods such as ISOMap try to identify a low-dimensional manifold from a set of unorganized samples. ISOMap method is an extension of the classical multidimensional scaling method for dimension reduction, which find a linear subspace in which dissimilarity between data points is preserved. In order to measure dissimilarity, ISOMap uses the geodesic distances on the manifold instead of Euclidean distance. In this paper, we propose a modification of ISOMap using class information, which is often given in company with input data in many applications such as pattern classification. Since the conventional ISOMap does not use class information in approximating true geodesic distance between each pair of data points, it is difficult to construct a data structure related to class-membership that may give important information for given task such as data visualization and classification. The proposed method utilizes class-membership for measuring distance of data pair so as to find a low-dimensional manifold preserving the distance between classes as well as the distance between data points. Through computational experiments on artificial data sets and real facial data sets, we confirm that the proposed method gives better performance than the conventional ISOMap.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we propose a modification of the general Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach where a prespecified tracking error is tolerated. The introduction of error tolerance (ET) in the MPC optimization algorithm reduces considerably the average duration of each optimization step and makes the MPC computationally more efficient and attractive for industrial applications. On the other hand a challenging scheduled crystallization process serves as a case study to show the practical relevance of the new intelligent predictive control. Comparative tests with different control policies are performed: (i) Classical MPC with analytical or artificialneural Network (ANN) process model; (ii) ET MPC with analytical or ANN process model; (iii) Proportional-Integral (PI) control. Besides the computational benefits of ET MPC, the integration of ANN into the ET MPC brings substantial improvements of the final process performance measures and further relaxes the computational demands.

Face detection is the cornerstone of a wide range of applications such as video surveillance, robotic vision and biometric authentication. One of the biggest challenges in face detection based applications is the speed at which faces can be accurately detected. In this paper, we present a novel SoC (System on Chip) architecture for ultra fast face detection in video or other image rich content. Our implementation is based on an efficient and robust algorithm that uses a cascade of artificialneural Network (ANN) classifiers on AdaBoost trained Haar features. The face detector architecture extracts the coarse grained parallelism by efficiently overlapping different computation phases while taking advantage of the finegrained parallelism at the module level. We provide details on the parallelism extraction achieved by our architecture and show experimental results that portray the efficiency of our face detection implementation. For the implementation and evaluation of our architecture we used the Xilinx FX130T Virtex5 FPGA device on the ML510 development board. Our performance evaluations indicate that a speedup of around 100X can be achieved over a SSE-optimized software implementation running on a 2.4 GHz Core-2 Quad CPU. The detection speed reaches 625 frames per sec (fps).

In this paper, the study results on the fish age estimation issues, as an application of the method of digital imageprocessing, presented by analysis from otolith image. First, a kind of artificialneural Network (ANN), the Pulse-coupled neuralnetworks (PCNN), is proposed, and used to identify the different summer or winter year-rings patterns. Second, a well-founded approach, using morphological features, is brought forwand to automatically detect the nucleus within the otolith images. Finally, the Morphological Method is used to deduce the fish's age. The results of this paper maybe significant in fishery research, and the methods can be used in other biologic features identify fields.

Biometric systems based on one-modal biometrics are often not able to meet the desired performance requirements for large user population applications, due to problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-university, spoof attacks, and unacceptable error rates. Therefore, multimodal biometrics refers to the use of a combination of two or more biometric modalities in a single recognition or identification system. In order to ensure that the performance of multibiometric systems such as fingerprint and iris will be powerful with respect to the quality of obtained fingerprint and iris images, these images are denoised and enhanced. In this study, curvelet transform is applied biometric images for enhancement. Obtained results after applied curvelet transform is compared to the other traditional image enhancement algorithms. Features obtained from enhanced fingerprints and iris images are selected by using Genetic Algorithms because of too huge dataset. Selected features are input to artificialneuralnetworks for biometric recognition. Thus, the recognition is achieved very fast without to reduce the performance.

artificialneuralnetworks are highly parallel structures inspired by the human brain. They have been used successfully in many human-like applications, such as pattern recognition. Performance of these networks can be enhanced if used properly in conjunction with equally powerful mathematical tools. In this paper, we used the discrete wavelet transform as a pre-processing tool for two well-known neural classifiers;Competitive Layer networks and Learning Vector networks. The wavelets transform was used successfully to approximate the input patterns of the two classifiers and thus reduced their input-layer requirements considerably. Such reduction facilitates cost-effective hardware implementations of artificialneuralnetworks.

Wavelet functions have been used as the activation function in feedforward neuralnetworks. An abundance of R&D has been produced on wavelet neural network area. Some successful algorithms and applications in wavelet neural network have been developed and reported in the literature. However, most of the aforementioned reports impose many restrictions in the classical backpropagation algorithm, such as low dimensionality, tensor product of wavelets, parameters initialization, and, in general, the output is one dimensional, etc. In order to remove some of these restrictions, a family of polynomial wavelets generated from powers of sigmoid functions is presented. We described how a multidimensional wavelet neuralnetworks based on these functions can be constructed, trained and applied in pattern recognition tasks. As an example of application for the method proposed, it is studied the exclusive-or (XOR) problem.

A key function for an autonomous robot is recognition and tracking of pertinent objects observed through a camera. Real-time interpretation of camera images is critical to a robot's interaction with the physical world. This paper presents preliminary results in using artificialneuralnetworks (ANN) to examine the pixels of an image. While processing all pixels through ANNs would jeopardize the real-time processing requirements, the accuracy gained facilitates use of algorithms that only need to examine a fraction of the pixels composing an image in order to recognize and track the objects of interest. Presented herein is a test environment and problem statement, description of a methodology that employed ANNs to address the problem, and details of the algorithms that interpret images. The results show a high degree of success within the domain of the test environment.

The process of segmenting images is one of the most critical ones in automatic image analysis whose goal can be regarded as to find what objects are presented in images. artificialneuralnetworks have been well developed. First two generations of neuralnetworks have a lot of successful applications. Spiking Neuron networks (SNNs) are often referred to as the 3(rd) generation of neuralnetworks which have potential to solve problems related to biological stimuli. They derive their strength and interest from an accurate modeling of synaptic interactions between neurons, taking into account the time of spike emission. SNNs overcome the computational power of neuralnetworks made of threshold or sigmoidal units. Moreover, SNNs add a new dimension, the temporal axis, to the representation capacity and the processing abilities of neuralnetworks. In this paper, we present how SNN can be applied with efficacy in image segmentation.

Since speech is one of the most direct and effective means of human communication, it's natural to apply biomimetic processing mechanism to automatic speech recognition to solve the existing speech recognition problems. In this paper, three typical techniques were selected respectively: simulated evolutionary computation(SEQ, artificialneural network(ANN) and fuzzy logic and reasoning technique, from intelligence building processing simulation, intelligence structure simulation and intelligence behavior simulation, to identify their applications in different stages of speech recognition. A SEC usage and the corresponding algorithm were presented to generate training speech data, and a method of Elman network as acoustic model was also presented.
