In this study, the artificial defects in rotary compressor are classified using pattern recognition of acoustic emission signal. For this purpose the computer program is developed. The neural network classifier is compared with the statistical classifier such as the linear discriminant function classifier and empirical Bayesian classifier. It is concluded that the former is better. It is possible to acquire the recognition rate of above 99% by neural network classifier.

A license plate recognition system consists of image processing in which characters and features are extracted, and pattern recognition in which extracted characters are classified. Feature extraction plays an important role in not only the level of data reduction but also performance of recognition. Thus, in this paper, we focused on the recognition of numeral characters especially on the feature extraction of numeral characters which has much effect in the result of plate recognition. We suggest a hybrid statistical feature model which assures the best dispersion of input data by reassignment of clustering property of input data. And we verify the effectiveness of suggested model using multi-layer perceptron and learning vector quantization neural networks. The results show that the proposed feature extraction method preserves the information of a license plate well and also is robust and effective for even noisy and external environment.

The pattern recognition methods of chemometrics have been applied to multivariate data, for which ninety four Korean ancient glass pieces have been determined for 12 elements by neutron activation analysis. For the purpose, principal component analysis and non-linear mapping have been used as the unsupervised learning methods. As the result, the glass samples have been classified into 6 classes. The SIMCA (statistical isolinear multiple component analysis), adopted as a supervised learning method, has been applied to the 6 training set and the test set. The results of the 6 training set were in accord with the results by principal component analysis and non-linear mapping. For test set, 17 of 33 samples were each allocated to one of the 6 training set.

This paper proposes an efficient method for automatically distinguishing various facial expressions. To recognize the emotions from facial expressions, the facial images are obtained by digital cameras, and a number of feature points were extracted. The extracted feature points are then transformed to 49-dimensional feature vectors which are robust to scale and translational variations, and the facial emotions are recognized by statistical pattern classifiers such Naive Bayes, MLP (multi-layer perceptron), and SVM (support vector machine). Based on the experimental results with 5-fold cross validation, SVM was the best among the classifiers, whose performance was obtained by 50.8% for 6 emotion classification, and 78.0% for 3 emotions.

Classification is an important research field in pattern recognition with high-dimensional predictors. The support vector machine(SVM) is a penalized feature selector and classifier. It is based on the hinge loss function, the non-convex penalty function, and the smoothly clipped absolute deviation(SCAD) suggested by Fan and Li (2001). We developed the algorithm for the multiclass SVM with the SCAD penalty function using the local quadratic approximation. For multiclass problems we compared the performance of the SVM with the $L_1$, $L_2$ penalty functions and the developed method.

This paper considers a recent environment in the manufacturing process in which data in large amounts can be obtained on-line in real-time. Under this environment an on-line real-time Statistical Process Control (SPC) scheme equipped with detection of a process change, change-point estimation, and recognition of the change pattern is proposed. The proposed SPC scheme is composed of a Cusum chart, filtering methods and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). We examine the performance of this scheme by Monte Carlo simulation and show its usefulness.

In this paper, the robustness of the artificial neural networks to noise is demonstrated with a multilayer perceptron, and the reason of robustness is due to the statistical orthogonality among hidden nodes and its hierarchical information extraction capability. Also, the misclassification probability of a well-trained multilayer perceptron is derived without any linear approximations when the inputs are contaminated with random noises. The misclassification probability for a noisy pattern is shown to be a function of the input pattern, noise variances, the weight matrices, and the nonlinear transformations. The result is verified with a handwritten digit recognition problem, which shows better result than that using linear approximations.

For many years, researchers in face description area have been representing and recognizing faces based on different methods that include subspace discriminant analysis, statistical learning and non-statistics based approach etc. But still automatic face recognition remains an interesting but challenging problem. This paper presents a novel and efficient face image representation method based on Optimized Local Ternary Pattern (OLTP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the OLTP texture feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into a feature vector that can act as face descriptor. The recognition is performed using nearest neighbor classification method with Chi-square distance as a similarity measure. Extensive experimental results on Yale B, ORL and AR face databases show that OLTP consistently performs much better than other well recognized texture models for face recognition.

The important issue of emotion recognition from speech is a feature extracting and pattern classification. Features should involve essential information for classifying the emotions. Feature selection is needed to decompose the components of speech and analyze the relation between features and emotions. Specially, a pitch of speech components includes much information for emotion. Accordingly, this paper searches the relation of emotion to features such as the sound loudness, pitch, etc. and classifies the emotions by using the statistic of the collecting data. This paper deals with the method of recognizing emotion from the sound. The most important emotional component of sound is a tone. Also, the inference ability of a brain takes part in the emotion recognition. This paper finds empirically the emotional components from the speech and experiment on the emotion recognition. This paper also proposes the recognition method using these emotional components and the transition probability.

A pattern recognition (PR) system is addressed for non-intrusive load monitoring. To effectively recognize two appliances (for example, an electric iron and a cook top), we propose a novel feature extraction method based on high order moments of power signals. Simulation results confirm that the PR system with the proposed high order moment features and kernel discriminant analysis can effectively separate two appliances.
