본 논문에서는 퍼지 추론 기반의 다항식 RBF 뉴럴네트워크(Polynomial Radial Basis Function Neural Network; pRBFNN)를 설계하고 PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 이용하여 모델의 파라미터를 동정한다. 제안된 모델은 "IF-THEN" 형식으로 기술되는 퍼지 규칙에 의해 조건부, 결론부, 추론부의 기능적 모듈로 표현된다. 조건부의 입력공간 분할에는 HCM 클러스터링에 기반을 두어 구조가 결정되며, 기존에 주로 사용된 가우시안 함수를 RBF로 이용하고, 원뿔형태의 선형 함수를 제안한다. 또한 입력공간 분할시 데이터 집합의 특성을 반영하기 위해 분포상수를 각 입력마다 고려하여 설계함으로서 공간 분할의 정밀성을 높인다. 결론부에서는 기존 상수항의 연결가중치를 다항식 형태로 표현하는 pRBFNN을 제안한다. 제안한 모델의 성능을 평가하기 위해 Box와 Jenkins가 사용한 가스로 시계열 데이터를 적용하고, 기존 모델과의 근사화와 일반화 능력에 대하여 토의한다.

본 논문에서는 다항식 기반 Radial Basis Function(RBF)신경회로망(Polynomial based Radial Basis Function Neural Networks)을 설계하고 이를 2-클래스 패턴 분류 문제에 응용하여 그 성능을 분석한다. 제안된 다항식기반 RBF 신경회로망은 입력층, 은닉층, 출력 층으로 이루어진다. 입력층은 입력 벡터의 값들을 은닉 층으로 전달하는 기능을 수행하고 은닉층은 Fuzzy c-means 클러스터링을 통하여 뉴런의 출력 값으로 내보낸다. 은닉층과 출력층사이의 연결가중치는 상수, 선형식 또는 이차식으로 이루어지며 경사 하강법에 의해 학습된다. Networks의 최종 출력은 연결가중치와 은닉층 출력의 곱에 의해 퍼지추론의 결과로서 얻어진다. 제안된 다항식기반 RBF 신경회로망은 각기 다른 4종류의 2-클래스 분류 문제에 적용 및 평가되어 분류기로써의 성능을 분석한다.

Control of multi-link robot arms is a very difficult problem because of the highly nonlinear dynamics. Decentralized control scheme is developed for control of robot manipulators based on RBF(Radial Basis Function) Neural Networks. RBF Neural Networks is used to approximate the coupling forces among the joints, coriolis force, centrifugal force, gravitational force, and frictional force. The compensation controller is also proposed to estimate the bound of approximation error so that the chattering effect of the control effort can be reduced. The proposed scheme does not require an accurate manipulator dynamic, and it is proved that closed-loop system is asymptotic stable despite the gross robot parameter variations. Numerical simulations for two-link robot manipulator are included to show the effectiveness of controller.

출입 관리는 위조 여권 소지자, 수배자, 출입국 금지자 또는 불법 체류자 등의 출입국 부적격자를 검색하고 출입국자를 관리하기 위하여 행하여진다. 한편, 여권에는 사진, 국적, 성명, 주민등록번호, 성별, 여권번호 등을 포함한 정보들로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 출입국 관리 시스템은 출입국 심사 시간이 길어 출입국자에게 불편이 따르고 또한 출입국 부적격자에 대한 정확한 검색이 불분명하여 체계적으로 관리하기가 어렵다. 이러한 종래의 문제점을 개선하기 위해 영상 처리와 문자 인식을 이용한 여권 인증 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 여권 영상에 대해 소벨 연산자와 스미어링 기법 그리고 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 이용하여 사진영역, 코드 영역 및 개별 코드 문자를 추출하였다. 추출된 개별 코드 인식은 ART2 알고리즘을 기반으로 한 RBF 신경망을 제안하여 여권 인식에 적용하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 실제 여권 영상들을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 여권 인식에 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인하였다.

In this work, to theoretically analyze the nonlinear charging characteristic, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is adopted. Based on the RBFNN, an charging characteristic tendency of a Linear Type Magnetic Flux Pump (LTMFP) is analyzed. In the paper, we developed the LTMFP that generates stable and controllable charging current and also experimentally investigated its charging characteristic in the cryogenic system. From these experimental results, the charging current of the LTMFP was also found to be frequency dependent with nonlinear quality due to the nonlinear magnetic behaviour of superconducting Nb foil. On the whole, in the case of essentially cryogenic experiment, since cooling costs loomed large in the cryogenic environment, it is difficult to carry out various experiments. Consequentially, in this paper, we estimated the nonlinear characteristic of charging current as well as realized the intelligent model via the design of RBFNN based on the experimental data. In this paper, we view RBF neural networks as predominantly data driven constructs whose processing is based upon an effective usage of experimental data through a prudent process of Fuzzy C-Means clustering method. Also, the receptive fields of the proposed RBF neural network are formed by the FCM clustering.

In this paper, we proposed the novel hierarchical algorithm for the recognition of English calling cards that processes multiresolution images of calling cards hierarchically to extract individual characters and recognizes the extracted characters by using the enhanced neural network method. The hierarchical recognition algorithm generates multiresolution images of calling cards, and each processing step in the algorithm selects and processes the image with suitable resolution for lower processing overhead and improved output. That is, first, the image of 1/3 times resolution, to which the horizontal smearing method is applied, is used to extract the areas including only characters from the calling card image, and next, by applying the vertical smearing and the contour tracking masking, the image of a half time resolution is used to extract individual characters from the character string areas. Lastly, the original image is used in the recognition step, because the image includes the morphological information of characters accurately. And for the recognition of characters with diverse font types and various sizes, the enhanced RBF network that improves the middle layer based on the ART1 was proposed and applied. The results of experiments on a large number of calling card images showed that the proposed algorithm is greatly improved in the performance of character extraction and recognition compared with the traditional recognition algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a simulator that provides various algorithms of RBF networks on neuromorphic chips. To develop algorithms based on neuromorphic chips, the disadvantages of using simulators are that it is difficult to test various types of algorithms, although time is fast. This proposed simulator can simulate four times more types of network architecture than existing simulators, and it provides an additional a two-layer structure algorithm in particular, unlike RBF networks provided by existing simulators. This two-layer architecture algorithm is configured to be utilized for multiple input data and compared to the existing RBF for performance analysis and validation of utilization. The analysis showed that the two-layer structure algorithm was more accurate than the existing RBF networks.

In this thesis, we propose the algorithm to improve the performance of speaker verification that is mapping feature parameters by using RBF neural network. There is a big difference between wire vector region and wireless one which comes from the same speaker. For wire/wireless speakers model production, speaker verification system should distinguish the wire/wireless channel that based on speech recognition system. And the feature vector of untrained channel models is mapped to the feature vector(LPC Cepstrum) of trained channel model by using RBF neural network. As a simulation result, the proposed algorithm makes 0.6%∼10.5% performance improvement compared to conventional method such as cepstral mean subtraction.

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.

Current emigration and immigration control inspects passports by the naked eye, registers them by manual input, and compares them with items of database. In this paper, we propose the method to recognize information codes of passports. The proposed passport recognition method extracts character-rows of information codes by applying sobel operator, horizontal smearing, and contour tracking algorithm. The extracted letter-row regions is binarized. After a CDM mask is applied to them in order to recover the individual codes, the individual codes are extracted by applying vertical smearing. The recognizing of individual codes is performed by the RBF network whose hidden layer is applied by ART 2 algorithm and whose learning between the hidden layer and the output layer is applied by a generalized delta learning method. After a photo region is extracted from the reference of the starting point of the extracted character-rows of information codes, that region is verified by the information of luminance, edge, and hue. The verified photo region is certified by the classified features by the ART 2 algorithm. The comparing experiment with real passport images confirmed the good performance of the proposed method.
