Liquid metal combustion chambers are under consideration as power sources for propulsion devices used in undersea vehicles. Characteristics of the reactive jet are studied to gain information about the internal combustion phenomena, including temporal and spatial variation of the jet flame, and the effects of phase changes on both the combustion and imaging processes. A ray tracing program which employs simplified Monte Carlo methods has been developed for use as a predictive tool for radiographic imaging of closed liquid metal combustors. A complex focal spot is characterized by either a monochromatic or polychromatic emission spectrum. For the simplest case, the x-ray detection system is modeled by an integrating planar detector having 100% efficiency. Several simple geometrical shapes are used to simulate jet structures contained within the combustor, such as cylinders, paraboloids, and ellipsoids. The results of the simulation and real time radiographic images are presented and discussed.

A novel weighted outer-product learning (WOPL) scheme for associative memory neural networks (AMNNs) is presented. In the scheme, each fundamental memory is allocated a learning weight to direct its correct recall. Both the Hopfield and multiple training models are instances of the WOPL model with certain sets of learning weights. A necessary condition of choosing learning weights for the convergence property of the WOPL model is obtained through neural dynamics. A criterion for choosing learning weights for correct associative recalls of the fundamental memories is proposed. In this paper, an important parameter called signal to noise ratio gain (SNRG) is devised, and it is found out empirically that SNRGs have their own threshold values which means that any fundamental memory can be correctly recalled when its corresponding SNRG is greater than or equal to its threshold value. Furthermore, a theorem is given and some theoretical results on the conditions of SNRGs and learning weights for good associative recall performance of the WOPL model are accordingly obtained. In principle, when all SNRGs or learning weights chosen satisfy the theoretically obtained conditions, the asymptotic storage capacity of the WOPL model will grow at the greatest rate under certain known stochastic meaning for AMNNs, and thus the WOPL model can achieve correct recalls for all fundamental memories. The representative computer simulations confirm the criterion and theoretical analysis.

In computational perception, `visual motion analysis' is most commonly identified with the problem of measuring the infinitesimal rate of translation at various local spatial neighborhoods in a time-varying signal. Many problems associated with measuring these motion vectors can be addressed by considering the following simplified one-dimensional case. Given two samples, an original function fo(x), and another sample ft(x) taken momentarily afterwards;compute the translation parameter τ which provides a best-fit for the transformation model, Tτ : fo(x) &rarr ft(x) = fo(x + τ) over some finite local region. The `goodness' of this fit requires evaluation by a suitable performance metric since measurement uncertainty and added noise will corrupt the solution of τ. This error can be reduced if the measurement is supported by a wider spatial region. However, the `pure translation' model is usually only valid within some small local neighborhood. These two competing constraints inherently compromise the measurement process. In this paper, a new technique is developed for estimating this translation parameter using a localized (`wavelet') representation, and it provides a measure of the uncertainty of the resulting estimate. In addition, a trade-off is identified between the local neighborhood width and the uncertainty of the translation estimate. It is similar to the well-known Heisenberg uncertainty principle: The product of the variances of the uncertainty of position and translation is bounded below by a finite constant.

Iterated transformation theory (ITT), also known as fractal coding, is a relatively new block compression method which removes redundancies between different scale representations of the uncompressed signal. In ITT coding we are looking for a piecewise continuous mapping from the space of all images with the same support onto itself which has a close approximation of the desired image as a unique fixed point. The mapping is then the code for the image, and for decoding we iterate the mapping on any initial image, orders of magnitude faster than encoding. We have reduced the computational load of finding the piecewise continuous transformation by using a self-organizing feature map (SOFM) artificial neural network which finds similar features in different resolution representations of the image. The patterns are mapped onto a two-dimensional array of formal neurons forming a code book similar to vector quantization (VQ) coding. We use the (SOFM) ordering properties by searching for mapping not only to the best feature match neuron but also to its neighbors in the network. In this paper we describe the ITT-SOFM algorithm and its software implementation with application to image coding of still gray images. computer simulations show compression results comparable to or better than state-of-the-art VQ coders, and computational complexity better than most of the well known clustering algorithms.

In a nearest neighbor classifier, an input sample is assigned to the class of the nearest prototype. The decision rule is simple and robust. However, it is computationally expensive in terms of memory space and computer time to implement a nearest neighbor classifier if each training sample is stored as a prototype and used to compare with every testing sample. The performance of the classifier is degraded if only a small number of training samples are used as prototypes. An algorithm is presented in this paper for modifying the prototypes so that the classification rate can be increased. This algorithm makes use of a two-layer perceptron with one second order input. The perceptron is trained and mapped back to a new nearest neighbor classifier. It is shown that the new classifier with only a small number of prototypes can even perform better than the classifier that uses all training samples as prototypes.

A set of neural lattices that are based on the central limit theorem is described. Each of the described lattices, generates in parallel a set of multiple scale Gaussian smoothing of their input arrays. The recursive smoothing principle of the lattices can be extended to any dimension. In addition, the lattices can generate in real time a variety of multiple scale operators such as Canny's edge detectors, Laplacians of Gaussians, and multidimensional sine, cosine, Fourier, and Gabor transforms.

The Fukushima's neocognitron model is generalized to a parallel neocognitron architecture which is applied for gray-scale facial recognition. Experiments show that the system can recognize human faces after learning. Results using the single neocognitron model for facial recognition or other gray-scale image recognition problems are not satisfactory.
