In Zhuang et al. (1988), a linear algorithm was presented to estimate a single instantaneous rigid motion from optic flow image point data. In order to obtain reasonable answers, however, the data must be quite accurate. This was shown by a lot of simulated experiments. As was well recognized, all machine vision feature extractors, recognizers, and matchers explicitly or implicitly needed for computing optic flow are unavoidably error prone and seem to make occasional errors which indeed are blunders. The realistic assumption for errors in optic flow should be a contaminated Gaussian noise which is a regular white Gaussian noise with probability 1 - (epsilon) plus an outlier process with probability (epsilon) , Huber (1981). Either the linear algorithm or the least-squares estimator are very sensitive to minor deviations from the Gaussian noise model assumption. In Haralick et al. (1989), the classical M-estimator was successfully applied to solve a single pose estimation from corresponding point data. However, lots of experiments conducted in Haralick et al. (1989) showed that the M-estimator only allowed a low proportion of outliers. For multiple pose segmentation and estimation, an estimator of high robustness is needed. A highly robust estimator called by the MF-estimator for general regression is presented and is applied to an important problem in computervision, i.e., segmenting and estimating multiple instantaneous rigid motions from optic flow data. To be realistic, the observed or processed optic flow data are contaminated by various noises including outliers. Notationally, `MF' represents an abbreviation of `Model Fitting.' The MF- estimator is a result of partially modeling the unknown log likelihood function.

With the use of fuzzy logic techniques, neural computing can be integrated in symbolic reasoning to solve complex real world problems. In fact, artificial neural networks, expert systems, and fuzzy logic systems, in the context of approximate reasoning, share common features and techniques. A model of Fuzzy Connectionist Expert System is introduced, in which an artificial neural network is designed to construct the knowledge base of an expert system from, training examples (this model can also be used for specifications of rules in fuzzy logic control). Two types of weights are associated with the synaptic connections in an AND-OR structure: primary linguistic weights, interpreted as labels of fuzzy sets, and secondary numerical weights. Cell activation is computed through min-max fuzzy equations of the weights. Learning consists in finding the (numerical) weights and the network topology. This feedforward network is described and first illustrated in a biomedical application (medical diagnosis assistance from inflammatory-syndromes/proteins profiles). Then, it is shown how this methodology can be utilized for handwritten pattern recognition (characters play the role of diagnoses): in a fuzzy neuron describing a number for example, the linguistic weights represent fuzzy sets on cross-detecting lines and the numerical weights reflect the importance (or weakness) of connections between cross-detecting lines and characters.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of a superresolution (or spectral extrapolation) procedure on a neural network, based on the Hopfield model. This was first proposed by Abbiss et al. [1]. We show the computational advantages and disadvantages of such an approach for different coding schemes and for networks consisting of very simple two state elements as well as those made up of more complex nodes capable of representing a continuum. With the appropriate hardware, we show that there is a computational advantage in using the Hopfield architecture over some alternative methods for computing the same solution. We also discuss the relationship between a particular mode of operation of the neural network and the regularized Gerchberg-Papoulis algorithm.

The first objective of this study is to analyze the use of neural networks for bandwidth compression. This is achieved by developing a neural network algorithm using the Kohonen self-organization technique to perform vector quantization. The second objective of the study is to combine the neural network vector quantizer with a DPCM encoder for more efficient bandwidth compression. The bandwidth compression techniques are simulated and their performance is evaluated using one-dimensional wideband signals. Vector quantization (VQ) has proved to be an efficient method for bandwidth compression of both one-dimensional signals and imagery data. The reason VQ is not utilized in many practical applications is due to the fact that the performance of VQ becomes superior to other techniques such as transform coding and DPCM only for large vector dimensions. Large vector dimensions also increase the number of computations (per sample) and the memory requirements of the VQ; the increase is an exponential function of the vector dimension. For this reason, in this study VQ has been used in combination with other methods of bandwidth compression so that using a small vector dimension still improves the overall system performance. neural networks present a parallel approach to data classification that may simplify the architecture of the classifier in the VQ, thus making vector quantizers with large dimensions more practical. In this study, we have developed a neural network algorithm for vector quantization which is based on Kohonen self-organization technique. In the following we discuss the neural network classifiers and their utilization in vector quantization of the DPCM encoders. Simulation results showing the system performance of these systems for one-dimensional modulated signals is presented and the results are discussed.
