In this paper, we use Fuzzy Logic and Potential field method for optimal path planning of an autonomous mobile robot and apply to navigation for real-time mobile robot in 2D dynamic environment. For safe navigation of the robot, we use both Global and Local path planning. Global path planning is computed off-line using sell-decomposition and Dijkstra algorithm and Local path planning is computed on-line with sensor information using potential field method and Fuzzy Logic. We can get gravitation between two feature points and repulsive force between obstacle and robot through potential field. It is described as a summation of the result of repulsive force between obstacle and robot which is considered as an input through Fuzzy Logic and gravitation to a feature point. With this force, the robot fan get to desired target point safely and fast avoiding obstacles. We Implemented the proposed algorithm with Pioneer-DXE robot in this paper.

On the laser weld production line, a slight alteration of the welding condition produces many defects. The defects are monitored in real time, in order to prevent continuous occurrence of defects, reduce the loss of material, and guarantee good quality. The measurement system is produced by using three photo-diodes for detection of the plasma and spatter signal in CO$_2$ laser welding. For high speed CO$_2$ laser welding, laser tailored welded blanks for example, on-line weld quality monitoring system was developed by using fuzzy multi-feature pattern recognition. Weld qualities were classified optimal heat input, a little low heat input, low heat input, and focus misalignment, and final weld quality were classified good and bad.

Text extraction and binarization are the important pre-processing steps for text recognition. The performance of text binarization strongly related to the accuracy of recognition stage. In our proposed method, the first stage based on line detection and shape feature analysis applied to locate the position of a business card and detect the shape from the complex environment. In the second stage, several local regions contained the possible text components are separated based on the projection histogram. In each local region, the pixels grouped into several connected components based on the connected component labeling and projection histogram. Then, classify each connect component into text region and reject the non-text region based on the feature information analysis such as size of connected component and stroke width estimation.

본 논문에서는 선삭가공을 부품에 대한 가공 특징형상 추출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 면저, 설계 특징형상과 가공 특징형상 을 효율적으로 나타내기 위한 데이터 구조를 설계하고, 선삭가공에 사용되는 가공 특징형상의 특성을 검토하였다. 이러한 특성 을 이용하여 주사선(Scan Line)과의 교점으로부터 가공 특징형상을 이루는 요소를 검색하고, 검색된 구성요소를 이용하여 가공 특정형상을 구성하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 알고리즘은 기존에 사용되어 왔던 패턴비교 방법에서 주어지 패턴이외의 특징 형상을 추출하기가 어렵고 계산 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점을 극복하였다. 또한 기존의 방법으로는 해결되기 어럽던 가공 특징 형상 의 간섭의 검출에서 효율적으로 적용됨을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a system which recognizes the Korean Sign Language(KSL) and translates into normal Korean speech. A sign language is a method of communication for the deaf-mute who uses gestures, especially both hands and fingers. Since the human hands and fingers are not the same in physical dimension, the same form of a gesture produced by two signers with their hands may not produce the same numerical values when obtained through electronic sensors. In this paper, we propose a dynamic gesture recognition method based on feature analysis for efficient classification of hand motions, and on a fuzzy min-max neural network for on-line pattern recognition.

In this paper, two Fuzzy Logics for path planning of an autonomous mobile robot are proposed. If a target point is given, such problems regarding the velocity and object recognition are closely related with path to which the mobile robot navigates. Therefore, to ensure safety navigation of the mobile robot for two fuzzy logic parts, path planning considering the surrounding environment was performed in this paper. First, feature points for local and global path are determined by utilizing Cell Decomposition off-line computation. Second, the on-line robot using two Fuzzy Logics navigates around path when it tracks the feature points. We demonstrated optimized path planning only for local path using object recognition fuzzy logic corresponds to domestic situation. Furthermore, when navigating, the robot uses fuzzy logic for velocity and target angle. The proposed algorithms for path planning has been implemented and tested with pioneer-dxe mobile robot.

On-line monitoring of fault discharge is an important approach for indicating the condition of electrical insulation of stator winding in high voltage motor. In this paper, several key aspects of on-line monitoring system are discussed, involving the characteristics of fault discharge of stator winding in high voltage motor, spectrum analysis of four simulation fault signals, feature extraction of internal fault discharge from apply voltage to breakdown. The study of the partial discharge activities allows to highlight the ageing stage in the winding fault under test. During the life of the winding insulation fault, the shape of PD signal change relating to the ageing stage. The ageing of stator winding insulation fault of high voltage motor is investigated based on the characteristics of partial discharge pulse distribution and statistical parameters, such as maximum, skewness and kurtosis using discrete wavelet transform coefficients.

A Simple tree-structured line simplification method, which exactly follows the Douglas-Peucker algorithm, has a strength for its simplification index to be involved into the hierarchical data structures. However, the hierarchy of simplification index, which is the core in a simple tree method, may not be always guaranteed. It is validated that the local property of line features in such global approaches as Douglas-Peucker algorithm is apt to be neglected and the construction of hierarchy with no thought of locality may entangle the hierarchy. This study designed a new approach, CALS(Convex hull Applied Line Simplification), a) to search critical points of line feature with convex hull search technique, b) to construct the hierarchical data structure based on these critical points, c) to simplify the line feature using multiple trees. CALS improved the spatial accuracy as compared with a simple tree method. Especially CALS was excellent in case of line features having the great extent of sinuosity.

This paper presents a novel hybrid classifier for face recognition with artificially generated virtual training samples. We utilize both the nearest neighbor approach in feature angle space and a connectionist model to obtain a synergy effect by combining the results of two heterogeneous classifiers. First, a classifier called the nearest feature angle (NFA), based on angular information, finds the most similar feature to the query from a given training set. Second, a classifier has been developed based on the recall of stored frontal projection of the query feature. It uses a frontal recall network (FRN) that finds the most similar frontal one among the stored frontal feature set. For FRN, we used an ensemble neural network consisting of multiple multiplayer perceptrons (MLPs), each of which is trained independently to enhance generalization capability. Further, both classifiers used the virtual training set generated adaptively, according to the spatial distribution of each person's training samples. Finally, the results of the two classifiers are combined to comprise the best matching class, and a corresponding similarit measure is used to make the final decision. The proposed classifier achieved an average classification rate of 96.33% against a large group of different test sets of images, and its average error rate is 61.5% that of the nearest feature line (NFL) method, and achieves a more robust classification performance.
