An effective new character recognition procedure implemented on a new type of hardware system is proposed. This procedure applied a new architecture, called CNND. This CNND contains one or more analog cellular neural Networks (CNN) and some digital logic, incorporating the advantages of the fast analog CNN signal processing and the fast and easy decision capability of digital logics. This paper shows that this CNND system can be used for recognition of multifont printed or handwritten characters. Implemented in hardware, the system could hit the 100 000 char/s recognition speed with a recognition rate of more than 95 %. We show that the CNN results of pictures (maximum 40 * 40 pixels) of printed characters can be coded into about n * 20 bits (n = 2 ... 6) , so the coded results can be used to address memories of about 1 MB. The codes of CNN results of possible character pictures are used to address the memories while the memory contents are filled by the character categories. Prior to the hardware implementation the decision memories are filled by the results of recognition simulation for the possible pictures of each character-class in a filling procedure. In the memory filling procedure the simulated recognition uses a new random-type nearest neighbor (NN) method, which is ideal for the recent proposal of hardware applications. Recognition of handwritten characters is demonstrated in the same system with good recognition accuracy.

Template parameters of cellular neural networks (CNNs) should be robust enough to random variability of VLSI tolerances and noise. Using the CNN for image processing, one of the main problems is the robustness of a given task in a real VLSI chip. It will be shown that very different tasks such as 2D or 3D deconvolution and texture segmentation can be solved in a real VLSI CNN environment without significant loss of efficiency and accuracy under low precision (about 6-8 bits) and random variability of the VLSI parameters. The CNN turns out to be very robust against template noise, image noise, imperfect estimation of templates and parameter accuracy. The parameters of a template are tuned using genetic learning. These optimized parameters depend on the precision of the architecture. It was found that about 6-8 bits of precision is enough for a complicated multilayer deconvolution, while only 4 bits of precision is enough for difficult texture segmentation in the presence of noise and parameter variances, The tolerance sensitivity of template parameters is considered for VLSI implementation. Theory and examples are demonstrated by many results using real-life microscopic images and natural textures.

Recognition of small patterns covering only a few pixels in an image cannot be done by conventional recognition methods. A theoretically new pattern recognition method has been developed for undersampled objects which are (much) smaller than the window-size of a picture element (pixel), i.e. these objects are of subpixel size. The proposed statistical technique compares the gray-level histogram of the patterns of a set of scanned objects to be examined with the (calculated) gray-level densities of different (in shape or size) possible objects, and the recognition is based on this comparison. This method does not need high-precision movement of scanning sensors or any additional hardware. Moreover, the examined patterns should be randomly distributed on the screen, or a random movement of camera is (or target or both are) needed. Effects of noise are analysed, and filtering processes are suggested in the histogram domain. Several examples of different object shapes (triangle, rectangle, square, circle, curving lines, etc.) are presented through simulations and experiments. A number of possible application areas are suggested, including astronomy, line-drawing analysis and industrial laser measurements.
