In this paper we proposed a heterogeneous hidden layer consisting of both sigmoid functions and RBFs(Radial Basis Function) in multi-layered neural networks. Focusing on the orthogonal relationship between the sigmoid function and its derivative, a derived RBF that is a derivative of the sigmoid function is used as the RBF in the neural network. so the proposed neural network is called ONN(Orthogonal Neural Network). Identification results using a nonlinear function confirm both the ONN＇s feasibility and characteristics by comparing with those obtained using a conventional neural network which has sigmoid function or RBF in hidden layer

This study presents the process of the continuous-time system identification for unknown nonlinear systems. The Radial Basis Function(RBF) error filtering identification model is introduced at first. This identification scheme includes RBF network to approximate unknown function of nonlinear system which is structured by affine form. The neural network is trained by the adaptive law based on Lyapunov synthesis method. The identification scheme is applied to engine and the performance of RBF error filtering Identification model is verified by the simulation with a three-state engine model. The simulation results have revealed that the values of the estimated function show favorable agreement with the real values of the engine model. The introduced identification scheme can be effectively applied to model-based nonlinear control.

FCM 기반 RBF 네트워크는 서로 다른 학습 구조가 결합된 혼합형 모델로서, 입력층과 중간층의 학습 구조는 FCM 알고리즘을 적용하고, 중간층과 출력층 사이의 학습 구조는 Max_Min 신경망을 적용한다. 입력층과 중간층의 학습시 입력벡터와 중간층의 노드중에서 중심과 입력벡터간의 가장 가까운 노드를 승자 노드로 선택하여 출력층으로 전달한다. 그리고 중간층과 출력층 사이의 학습 구조는 Max_Min 신경망을 적용하여 중간층의 승자 뉴런이 출력층의 입력벡터로 적용한다. 하지만 많은 패턴이 입력벡터로 제시될 경우 학습 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 중간층과 출력층의 학습 구조인 Max_Min 알고리즘의 학습 성능을 개선시키기 위해 퍼지 제어시스템을 이용하여 학습률을 동적으로 조정하는 퍼지 제어 기법을 이용한 FCM 기반 RBF 네트워크를 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 학습 성능을 평가하기 위하여 컨테이너 영상에서 추출한 숫자, 영문 식별자를 학습 데이터로 적용한 결과, 기존의 ART2 기반 RBF 네트워크보다 학습 시간이 적게 소요되고, 학습의 수렴성이 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

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.

In this paper, we proposed the novel method for the recognition of English calling cards by using the projection method and the enhanced RBF (Radial Basis Function) network. The recognition of calling cards consists of the extraction phase of character areas and the recognition phase of extracted characters. In the extraction phase, first of all, noises are removed from the images of calling cards, and the feature areas including character strings are separated from the calling card images by using the horizontal smearing method and the 8-directional contour tracking method. And using the image projection method, the feature areas are split into the areas of individual characters. We also proposed the enhanced RBF network that organizes the middle layer effectively by using the enhanced ART1 neural network adjusting the vigilance threshold dynamically according to the homogeneity between patterns. In the recognition phase, the proposed neural network is applied to recognize individual characters. Our experiment result showed that the proposed recognition algorithm has higher success rate of recognition and faster learning time than the existing neural network based recognition.

Under competitive power markets, various long-term and short-term contracts based on spot price are used by producers and consumers. So an accurate forecasting for spot price allow market participants to develop bidding strategies in order to maximize their benefit. Artificial Neural Network is a powerful method in forecasting problem. In this paper we used Radial Basis Function(RBF) network to forecast spot price. To learn ANN, in addition to price history, we used some other effective inputs such as load level, fuel price, generation and transmission facilities situation. Results indicate that this forecasting method is accurate and useful.

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.

Generally, it is difficult to find constant patterns on identifiers in a container image, since the identifiers are not normalized in color, size, and position, etc. and their shapes are damaged by external environmental factors. This paper distinguishes identifier areas from background noises and removes noises by using an ART2-based quantization method and general morphological information on the identifiers such as color, size, ratio of height to width, and a distance from other identifiers. Individual identifier is extracted by applying the 8-directional contour tracking method to each identifier area. This paper proposes a refined ART2-based RBF network and applies it to the recognition of identifiers. Through experiments with 300 container images, the proposed algorithm showed more improved accuracy of recognizing container identifiers than the others proposed previously, in spite of using shorter training time.

본 연구에서는 퍼지 추론 메커니즘에 기반 한 Polynomial RBF Neural Network(p-RBFNN)를 설계하고 얼굴인식 문제로 적용하여 분류기로서의 성능을 분석한다. 제안된 p-RBFNN 구조는 FCM 클러스터링에 기반 한 분할 함수를 활성 함수로 사용하며, 다항식 함수로 구성된 연결가중치를 사용함으로서 기존 신경회로망 분류기의 선형적인 특성을 개선한다. p-RBFNN 구조는 언어적 해석관점에서 "If-then"의 퍼지 규칙으로 표현되며 퍼지 추론 메커니즘에 의해 구동된다. 즉 조건부, 결론부, 추론부 세 가지의 기능적 모듈로 나뉘어 네트워크 구조가 형성된다. 조건부는 FCM 클러스터링을 사용하여 입력 공간을 분할하고, 결론부는 분할된 로컬 영역을 다항식 함수로 표현한다. 마지막으로, 네트워크의 최종출력은 추론부의 퍼지추론에 의한다. 또한 제안된 p-RBFNN을 얼굴인식 문제로 적용하여 성능을 분석한다.

This paper presents the optimized approximation of finite element modeling for a complex tool holder spindle using both DOE (Design of Experiment) with Optimal Latin Hypercube (OLH) method and approximation modeling method with Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network structure. The complex tool holder is used for holding a (milling/drilling) tool of a machine tool. The engineering problem of complex tool holder results from the twisting of spindle of tool holder. For this purpose, we present the optimized approximation of finite element modeling for a complex tool holder spindle using both DOE (Design of Experiment) with Optimal Latin Hypercube (OLH) method (specifically a module of $iSight^{(R)}$ FD-3.1) and approximation modeling method with Radial Basis Function (RBF) (another module of $iSight^{(R)}$ FD-3.1) neural network structure
