숫자를 인식하는 방법에는 여러 가지가 있지만 단일 인식기를 구성하는 경우보다 다중 인식기를 이용하는 방법이 뛰어나다는 연구 발표가 있었다. 그래서 다중 인식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는데, 다중 인식기를 이용하는 방법에는 크게 직렬 조합형과 병렬 조합형이 있는데, 직렬 조합형은 인식기를 파이프라인 처럼 구성하여 순차적으로 인식하는 방법이고, 병렬조합형은 인식기를 병렬로 구성하여 인식기들의 결과를 조합하여 얻어내는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 무제약 필기체 숫자를 인식하기 위한 병렬 파이프라인 다중 인식기의 구조와 결합 방법을 제안 하고자 한다. 조선대학교 필기체 숫자 데이터를 이용하여 실험한 결과 기존의 방법보다 비교적 높은 인식률을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose a multiple classifier combination method based on image degradation modeling to improve recognition performance on low-quality images. Using an image degradation model, it generates a set of classifiers each of which is specialized for a specific image quality. In recognition, it combines the results of the recognizers by weighted averaging to decide the final result. At this time, the weight of each recognizer is dynamically decided from the estimated quality of the input image. It assigns large weight to the recognizer specialized to the estimated quality of the input image, but small weight to other recognizers. As the result, it can effectively adapt to image quality variation. Moreover, being a multiple-classifier system, it shows more reliable performance then the single-classifier system on low-quality images. In the experiment, the proposed multiple-classifier combination method achieved higher recognition rate than multiple-classifier combination systems not considering the image quality or single classifier systems considering the image quality.

The character recognition technique is one of the artificial intelligence and has been widely applied in the automated system robot HCI(Human Computer Interaction), etc. This paper introduces the character set and the representative character that can be used in the recognition of the mage ROI. The character codes in this ROI include the digit, symbol, English and Hereat etc. We proposed the efficient multi-classifier structure by combining the small-size classifiers hierarchically. Moreover, we generated each small-size classifiers by delta-bar-delta learning algorithm. We tested the performance with various kinds of images and achieved the accuracy of 99%. The proposed multi-classifier showed the efficiency and the reliability for the mixed character code set.

We propose the character recognition system for Gerber files. The Gerber file is the vector-formatted drawing file for PCB manufacturing, which includes various symbols, figures and characters. Also, the characters are written in horizontal, vertical, and reverse-vortical directions. In this paper, we newly propose the Gerber-character recognition system to recognize all of component names located in PCB. To improve the performance, we develop the multiple recognizers by neural networks and the verifier considering the structural features. The developed system has been installed to the auto-programming software for PCB assembly and inspection machines.

패턴 인식 분야에서 다중 분류기 시스템은 여러 분류기의 결과들을 조합하여 전체 성능을 항상 시키는 시스템이다. 다중 분류기를 사용함으로써 단일 분류기 보다 더 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있음은 이미 널리 알려진 사실이다. 서로 다른 구조를 갖는 분류기들은 상호 보완적인 정보를 제공하기 때문에 각 분류기마다 입력 공간에 대해서 지역적으로 좋은 성능을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 지역적으로 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 분류기 선택 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 주어진 입력 공간에 비해 각 분류기들을 학습하는 과정에서 자기조직화지도를 생성하고 각 노드별로 평가함으로써 입력이 주어지면, 해당 노드에서 가장 성능이 좋은 분류기를 선택하여 전체 성능을 향상시키는 시스템이다.

In this Paper. we propose a recognition method of machine printed characters based on the combination of recognition units using multiple neural networks. In our recognition method, the input character is classified into one of 7 character types among which the first 6 types are for Hangul character and the last type is for non-Hangul characters. Hangul characters are recognized by several MLP (multilayer perceptron) neural networks through two stages. In the first stage, we divide Hangul character image into two or three recognition units (HRU : Hangul recognition unit) according to the combination fashion of graphemes. Each recognition unit composed of one or two graphemes is recognized by an MLP neural network with an input feature vector of pixel direction angles. In the second stage, the recognition aspect features of the HRU MLP recognizers in the first stage are extracted and forwarded to a subsequent MLP by which final recognition result is obtained. For the recognition of non-Hangul characters, a single MLP is employed. The recognition experiments had been performed on the character image database collected from 50,000 real letter envelope images. The experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed method.

The mechanism of emotion is complex and influenced by a variety of factors, so that it is crucial to analyze emotion in broad and diversified perspectives. In this study, we classified neutral and negative emotions(sadness, fear, surprise) using arousal evaluation, which is one of the psychological evaluation scales, as well as physiological signals. We have not only revealed the difference between physiological signals coupled to the emotions, but also assessed how accurate these emotions can be classified by our emotional recognizer based on neural network algorithm. A total of 146 participants(mean age $20.1{\pm}4.0$, male 41%) were emotionally stimulated while their physiological signals of the electrocardiogram, blood flow, and dermal activity were recorded. In addition, the participants evaluated their psychological states on the emotional rating scale in response to the emotional stimuli. Heart rate(HR), standard deviation(SDNN), blood flow(BVP), pulse wave transmission time(PTT), skin conduction level(SCL) and skin conduction response(SCR) were calculated before and after the emotional stimulation. As a result, the difference between physiological responses was verified corresponding to the emotions, and the highest emotion classification performance of 86.9% was obtained using the combined analysis of arousal and physiological features. This study suggests that negative emotion can be categorized by psychological and physiological evaluation along with the application of machine learning algorithm, which can contribute to the science and technology of detecting human emotion.

This paper describes an intelligent real-time monitoring system of a semiconductor processing equipment, which determines normal or not for a wafer in processing, using multiple time-series pattern recognition. The proposed system consists of three phases, initialization, learning and real-time prediction. The initialization phase sets the weights and tile effective steps for all parameters of a monitoring equipment. The learning phase clusters time series patterns, which are producted and fathered for processing wafers by the equipment, using LBG algorithm. Each pattern has an ACI which is measured by a tester at the end of a process The real-time prediction phase corresponds a time series entered by real-time with the clustered patterns using Dynamic Time Warping, and finds the best matched pattern. Then it calculates a predicted ACI from a combination of the ACI, the difference and the weights. Finally it determines Spec in or out for the wafer. The proposed system is tested on the data acquired from etching device. The results show that the error between the estimated ACI and the actual measurement ACI is remarkably reduced according to the number of learning increases.

UP Link is One of the commercial product which converts HTML to HDML convertor in order to show the internet www contents in the mobile environments. When UP browser accesses HTML pages, the agent in the UP Link controls the converter to change the HTML to the HDML, I-Mode, which is developed by NTT-Docomo of Japan, has many contents through the long and stable commercial service. Micro Explorer, which is developed by Stinger project, also has many additional function. In this paper, we designed and implemented WAP convertor which can accept C-HTML contents and mHTML contents. C-HTML format by I-Mode is a subset of HTML format, mHTML format by ME is similar to C-HTML, So the content provides can easily develop C-HTML contents compared with WAP and the other case. Since C-HTML, mHTML and WML are used under the mobile environment, the limited transmission capacity of one page is also similar. In order to make a match table. After that, we apply conversion algorithm on it. If we can not find matched element, we arrange some tags which only can be supported by WML to display in the best shape. By the result, we can convert over 90% contents.
