An approach is introduced to determine the topology of a feedforward binary neural network automatically. The approach is based on a construction algorithm that constructs one layer of hidden nodes at a time until the problem is solved. In each layer, the algorithm determines the necessary number of nodes through a growth process by finding the best hidden node that would help to partition the input training data set. This is done using a genetic algorithm. The proposed algorithm can determine the necessary number of hidden layers and number of hidden nodes at each layer automatically. Tests on a number of benchmark problems illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed technique, both in terms of network complexity and recognition accuracy, compared with a geometrical learning approach.

In this paper, a novel Hopfield model for silhouette matching invariant to projective transformations is proposed. Although the new network has higher-order energy function, we show that it can be solved using a standard second-order Hopfield network, by taking advantage of the neighborhood information in the data. The experimental results with real data show that the proposed method can provide accurate matching results in image registration and object recognition.

There is considerable interest in motion capture from an image sequence taken from a video camera. However, since the images only consist of 2D information, the distance of an object from the image plane cannot be determined uniquely unless some constraints are imposed. Coplanar motion is a popular constraint adopted for this purpose. If the captured motion is not coplanar, only two possible solutions can be obtained at the best even the actual size of the object is given. Therefore, the motion cannot be captured without resolving the distances of each control point from the image plane. By assuming smooth transition, the problem is formulated as one minimizing the transition between image frames and the application of GA to solve this optimization problem is proposed.

A new method based on MLE-OED is proposed for unsupervised image segmentation of multiple objects which have fuzzy edges. It adjusts the parameters of a mixture of Gaussian distributions via minimizing a new loss function proposed to implement image segmentation based on the image's local spatial information and global intensity distribution properties. The loss function consists of two terms: a local content fitting term, which optimizes the entropy distribution, and a global statistical fitting term, which maximizes the likelihood of the parameters for the given data. The proposed segmentation method was validated by simulated and real examples. The performance in the experiments is better than those of two popular methods.

Methods for mobile robot localization that use eigenspaces of panoramic snapshots of the environment are in general sensitive to changes in the illumination of the environment. Therefore, we propose an approach which achieves a reliable localization under severe illumination conditions. The method uses gradient filtering of the eigenspace. After testing the approach on images obtained by a mobile robot, we show that it outperforms the standard eigenspace-based recognition method.
