Channel distortion and coarticulation effect in the connected digit telephone speech make it difficult to recognize, and degrade recognition performance in the telephone environment. In this paper, as a basic research to improve the recognition performance of Korean connected digit telephone, error patterns are investigated and analyzed. Telephone digit speech database released by SITEC with HTK system is used for recognition experiments. Both DWFBA and MRTCN methods are used for feature extraction and channel compensation, respectively. Experimental results are discussed with our findings.

This paper proposes a new method for the recognition of road surface marks and numbers. The proposed method designates a region of interest on the road surface without first detecting a lane. The road surface markings are extracted by location and size using a connection component analysis. Distortion due to the perspective effect is minimized by normalizing the size of the road markings. The road surface marking of the connected component is recognized by matching it with the stored road marking templates. The proposed method is implemented using C language in Raspberry Pi 4 system with a camera module for a real-time image processing. The system was fixedly installed in a moving vehicle, and it recorded a video like a vehicle black box. Each frame of the recorded video was extracted, and then the proposed method was tested. The results show that the proposed method is successful for the recognition of road surface marks and numbers.

Feature vectors for conventional speech recognition are usually extracted in full frequency band. Therefore, each sub-band contributes equally to final speech recognition results. In this paper, feature Teeters are extracted indepedently in each sub-band. The cepstral resolution of each sub-band feature is controlled for the optimal speech recognition. For this purpose, different dimension of each sub-band ceptral vectors are extracted based on the multi-band approach, which extracts feature vector independently for each sub-band. Speech recognition rates and clustering quality are suggested as the criteria for finding the optimal combination of sub-band Teeter dimension. In the connected digit recognition experiments using TIDIGITS database, the proposed method gave string accuracy of 99.125%, 99.775% percent correct, and 99.705% percent accuracy, which is 38%, 32% and 37% error rate reduction relative to baseline full-band feature vector, respectively.

Extraction and selection of the informative features play a central role in pattern recognition. This paper describes a modified back-propagation algorithm that performs selection of the informative features and trains a neural network simultaneously. The algorithm is mainly composed of three repetitive steps : training, connection pruning, and input unit elimination. Afer initial training, the connections that have small magnitude are first pruned. Any unit that has a small number of connections to the hidden units is deleted,which is equivalent to excluding the feature corresponding to that unit.If the error increases,the network is retraned,again followed by connection pruning and input unit elimination.As a result,the algorithm selects the most im-portant features in the measurement space without a transformation to another space.Also,the selected features are the most-informative ones for the classification,because feature selection is tightly coupled with the classifi-cation performance.This algorithm helps avoid measurement of redundant or less informative features,which may be expensive.Furthermore,the final network does not include redundant parameters,i.e.,weights and biases,that may cause degradation of classification performance.In applications,the algorithm preserves the most informative features and significantly reduces the dimension of the feature vectors whiout performance degradation.

CP(Counterpropagation)알고리즘은 서로 다른 두 개의 신경망이 하나로 결합 된 혼합형 모델로서, 다른 신경망 모델에 비해 비교적 단순하고 빠른 학습 속도를 보인다. 그러나 CP 알고리즘은 다양한 패턴이 입력되면 충분한 경쟁층의 수가 설정되지 않아 학습이 불안정하고, 출력층에서 연결강도를 조정할 때 일반적인 학습률 조정방법으로 불안정한 학습 결과를 보인다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 다수의 경쟁층을 설정하여 경쟁층에서 패턴 분류의 정확성을 높이고, 입력 벡터와 승자 뉴런의 대표 벡터간의 차이와 승자 빈도수를 반영하여 학습률을 동적으로 조정하여 경쟁층에서의 학습이 안정적으로 진행되도록 하고, 출력층에서 연결강도를 조정할 때 모멘텀(momentum)학습법을 적용한 개선된 CP 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 개선된 CP 알고리즘에서 경쟁층의 수를 효율적으로 설정하기 위해 퍼지 제어 기법을 이용하여 경쟁층의 수를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 CP 알고리즘에 입력되는 패턴의 정보를 이용하여 퍼지 소속 함수를 설계하고 입력에 대한 소속도를 계산한 후, 퍼지 제어 규칙을 적용하고, Mamdani의 Min_Max 추론 방법으로 추론한다. 퍼지 추론을 통해 최종적으로 얻어진 값을 무게 중심법으로 비퍼지화 하여 최종적으로 개선된 CP 알고리즘의 경쟁층의 수를 결정하는데 적용한다. 제안된 방법의 학습 및 인식 성능을 평가하기 위해, 숫자, 영어 등과 같이 다양한 패턴을 실험에 적용한 결과, 제안된 방법이 경쟁층의 수를 결정하는데 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a design of attenuator based on meta-material structure and its application. The unit-cell attenuator based on the lossy transmission line consists of the CRLH(Composite Right/Left Handed) transmission line and PIN diodes to be controlled internal loss according to diode bias voltage to change resistance of diode. Also, to reduce the initial losses, there is used parallel connection of PIN diodes. To increase attenuations, it is connected a cascade unit-cell of attenuator with periodic structure. The attenuation quantities of unit-cell are about 10dB and phase variations are 15o maximum at 1.5 GHz ~ 2.5 GHz. Also, its application is represented a vector modulator.

We propose a hierarchical architecture of ART2 Network for performance improvement and fast pattern classification model using fitness selection. This hierarchical network creates coarse clusters as first ART2 network layer by unsupervised learning, then creates fine clusters of the each first layer as second network layer by supervised learning. First, it compares input pattern with each clusters of first layer and select candidate clusters by fitness measure. We design a optimized fitness function for pruning clusters by measuring relative distance ratio between a input pattern and clusters. This makes it possible to improve speed and accuracy. Next, it compares input pattern with each clusters connected with selected clusters and finds winner cluster. Finally it classifies the pattern by a label of the winner cluster. Results of our experiments show that the proposed method is more accurate and fast than other approaches.

Home-Network is an integrated network of the PC and all electric home appliances in the home so that they can communicate with each other. In the 21th century, here are various technology for Home Network environment such as HomePNA, IEEE 1394, Ethernet Lan and Bluetooth. For Home Network construction, generally, the standard series interface 'RS232' is used to make communication possible between electric home appliances. However Home network using RS232 has a problem. That is, All machines have to be connected to each other with RS232 using Point-to-Point mode. In this case, the system becomes complicated because we have to use circuits as much as there are machines and increased expenses. To improve this problem, In this thesis, designed home network using RS422 Multi-drop mode serial communication and controled it with embedded linux system. And connected RS422 with motors and sensors using PIC to make the home network virtual environment.

In the Malaysian license plates, alphabets and numerals which are made by plastic, are adhered to a frame as embossing style and occasionally characters in horizontal, vertical directions are aligned with narrow space. So the extraction of character stroke information can be hard in the vehicle images of low illumination intensity. In this paper, Malaysian license plate recognition algorithm for low illumination intensity image is proposed. DoG filtering based character stroke generation method is introduced to derive exact connected components of strokes in the vehicle image of low illumination intensity. After localization of plate by connected component analysis, characters are segmented and recognized. Algorithm is experimented for the 6,046 vehicle images captured in Kuala Lumpur by IR camera without using any special light during day and night. The experimental results show that recognition accuracy of plates is 96.1%.
