본 연구에서는 복잡한 비선형 모델링 방법인 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크(Radial Basis Function Neural Network)와 PNN(Polynomial Neural Network)을 접목한 새로운 형태의 Radial Basis Function Polynomial Neural Network(RPNN)를 제안한다. RBF 뉴럴 네트워크는 빠른 학습 시간, 일반화 그리고 단순화의 특징으로 비선형 시스템 모델링 등에 적용되고 있으며, PNN은 생성된 노드들 중에서 우수한 결과값을 가진 노드들을 선택함으로써 모델의 근사화 및 일반화에 탁월한 효과를 가진 비선형 모델링 방법이다. 제안된 RPNN모델의 기본적인 구조는 PNN의 형태를 이루고 있으며, 각각의 노드는 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크로 구성하였다. 사용된 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크에서의 커널 함수로는 FCM 클러스터링을 사용하였으며, 각 노드의 후반부는 다항식 구조로 표현하였다. 또한 각 노드의 후반부 파라미터들은 최소자승법을 이용하여 최적화 하였다. 제안한 모델의 적용 및 유용성을 비교 평가하기 위하여 비선형 데이터를 이용하여 그 우수성을 보인다.

This paper demonstrates a enhanced FCM to identify the causes of ground faults in power distribution systems. The discrimination scheme which can automatically recognize the fault causes is proposed using Fuzzy RBF networks. By using the actual fault data, it is shown that the proposed method provides satisfactory results for identifying the fault causes.

This paper discusses a blind equalization technique for FIR channel system, that might be minimum phase or not, in digital communication. The proposed techniques consist of two parts. One is to estimate the original channel coefficients based on fourth-order cumulants of the channel output, the other is to employ RBF neural network to model an inverse system fur the original channel. Here, the estimated channel is used as a reference system to train the RBF. The proposed RBF equalizer provides fast and easy teaming, due to the structural efficiency and excellent recognition-capability of R3F neural network. Throughout the simulation studies, it was found that the proposed blind RBF equalizer performed favorably better than the blind MLP equalizer, while requiring the relatively smaller computation steps in tranining.

The automatic recognition of transport containers using image processing is very hard because of the irregular size and position of identifiers, diverse colors of background and identifiers, and the impaired shapes of identifiers caused by container damages and the bent surface of container, etc. We proposed and evaluated the novel recognition algorithm of container identifiers that overcomes effectively the hardness and recognizes identifiers from container images captured in the various environments. The proposed algorithm, first, extracts the area including only all identifiers from container images by using CANNY masking and bi-directional histogram method. The extracted identifier area is binarized by the fuzzy binarization method newly proposed in this paper and by applying contour tracking method to the binarized area, container identifiers which are targets of recognition are extracted. We proposed and applied the ART2-based RBF network for recognition of container identifiers. The results of experiment for performance evaluation on the real container images showed that the proposed algorithm has more improved performance in the extraction and recognition of container identifiers than the previous algorithms.

The judgment of forged passports plays an important role in the immigration control system, for which the automatic and accurate processing is required because of the rapid increase of travelers. So, as the preprocessing phase for the judgment of forged passports, this paper proposed the novel method for the recognition of passport based on the fuzzy binarization and the fuzzy RBF neural network newly proposed. first, for the extraction of individual codes being recognized, the paper extracts code sequence blocks including individual codes by applying the Sobel masking, the horizontal smearing and the contour tracking algorithm in turn to the passport image, binarizes the extracted blocks by using the fuzzy binarization based on the membership function of trapezoid type, and, as the last step, recovers and extracts individual codes from the binarized areas by applying the CDM masking and the vertical smearing. Next, the paper proposed the enhanced fuzzy RBF neural network that adapts the enhanced fuzzy ART network to the middle layer and applied to the recognition of individual codes. The results of the experiment for performance evaluation on the real passport images showed that the proposed method in the paper has the improved performance in the recognition of passport.

Diagnosis techniques based on the dissolved gas analysis(DGA) have been developed to detect incipient faults in power transformers. Various methods exist based on DGA such as IEC, Roger, Dornenburg, and etc. However, these methods have been applied to different problems with different standards. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve an accurate diagnosis by DGA without experienced experts. In order to resolve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel diagnosis method using fuzzy clustering and a radial basis neural network(RBFNN). In the neural network, fuzzy clustering is effective for selecting the efficient training data and reducing learning process time. After fuzzy clustering, the RBF neural network is developed to analyze and diagnose the state of the transformer. The proposed method measures the possibility and degree of aging as well as the faults occurred in the transformer. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, various experiments are performed and their results are presented.

This paper presents a method of improving the performance of a day-ahead 24-h load curve and peak load forecasting. The next-day load curve is forecasted using radial basis function (RBF) neural network models built using the best design parameters. To improve the forecasting accuracy, the load curve forecasted using the RBF network models is corrected by the weighted sum of both the error of the current prediction and the change in the errors between the current and the previous prediction. The optimal weights (called "gains" in the error correction) are identified by differential evolution. The peak load forecasted by the RBF network models is also corrected by combining the load curve outputs of the RBF models by linear addition with 24 coefficients. The optimal coefficients for reducing both the forecasting mean absolute percent error (MAPE) and the sum of errors are also identified using differential evolution. The proposed models are trained and tested using four years of hourly load data obtained from the Korea Power Exchange. Simulation results reveal satisfactory forecasts: 1.230% MAPE for daily peak load and 1.128% MAPE for daily load curve.

In this paper, we proposed a container identifier recognition method for containers used in harbors. After converting a real container image to a gray image, edges are detected from the gray image applying Prewitt mask and candidate identifier area is extracted using morphological features of individual identifier for identifying containers. Because noises are included in the extracted candidate identifier area, noises are eliminated and each identifier is separated using 4-directional edge tracking algorithm and Grassfire algorithm. Each identifier in the noise-free candidate identifier area is recognized using FCM-based row RBF network for discriminating containers. We used 300 real container images for experiment to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, and we could verify the proposed method is better than a conventional method.

RBF 네트워크의 중간층은 클러스터링하는 층이다. 즉, 이 충의 목적은 주어진 자료 집합을 유사한 클러스터들(homogenous cluster)로 분류하는 것이다. 여기서 유사하다는 것은 입력 데이터들에 대한 특징 벡터 공간사이에서 한 클러스터내의 벡터들 간에 거리를 측정하여 정해진 반경 내에 존재하면 같은 클러스터로 분류하고 정해진 반경 내에 존재하지 않으면 다른 클러스터로 분류한다. 그러나 정해진 반경 내에서 클러스터링하는 것은 잘못된 클러스터를 선택하는 단점을 가지게 된다. 그러므로 중간층을 결정하는 .것은 RBF 네트워크의 전반적인 효율성에 큰 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 중간층을 결정하기 위한 방법으로 퍼지 C-Means 클러스터링 알고리즘을 적용한 퍼지 RBF 네트워크를 제안한다. 제안된 퍼지 RBF 네트워크의 학습은 크게 두 단계로 구분된다. 첫 번째 단계는 입력층과 중간층 사이에 퍼지 C-Means 알고리즘이 수행되고, 두 번째 단계는 중간층과 출력층 사이에 지도학습이 수행된다. 제안된 방법의 학습 성능을 평가하기 위하여 실제 주민등록증에서 추출한 숫자패턴에 적용한 결과, 기존의 RBF네트워크 보다 학습 성능이 개선된 것을 확인하였다.
