In this paper, a neural network based approach using a self-organizing feature map is proposed for the segmentation of X ray images. A number of algorithms based on such approaches as histogram analysis, region growing, edge detection and pixel classification have been proposed for segmentation of general images. However, few approaches have been applied to X ray image segmentation because of blur of the X ray image and vagueness of its edge, which are inherent properties of X ray images. To this end, we develop a new model based on the neural network to detect objects in a given X ray image. The new model utilizes Mumford-Shah functional incorporating with a modified adaptive SOFM. Although Mumford-Shah model is an active contour model not based on the gradient of the image for finding edges in image, it has some limitation to accurately represent object images. To avoid this criticism, we utilize an adaptive self organizing feature map developed earlier by the authors.[1] It's learning rule is derived from Mumford-Shah energy function and the boundary of blurred and vague X ray image. The evolution of the neural network is shown to well segment and represent. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, segmentation of an industrial part is solved and the experimental results are discussed in detail.

In this paper, we propose a new learning algorithm, ASOFM(Adaptive Self Organizing Feature Map), to solve the defects of Kohonen's Self Organiaing Feature Map. Kohonen's algorithm is sometimes stranded on local minima for the initial weights. The proposed algorithm uses an object function which can evaluate the state of network in learning and adjusts the learning rate adaptively according to the evaluation of the object function. As a result, it is always guaranteed that the state of network is converged to the global minimum value and it has a capacity of generalized learning by adaptively. It is reduce that the learning time of our algorithm is about $30\%$ of Kohonen's.

In this paper, we propose a new mART(modified ART) neural network by combining the winner neuron definition method of SOM(self-organizing map) and the real-time adaptive clustering function of ART(adaptive resonance theory) and construct it in a modular structure, for the purpose of organizing the feature maps of three dimensional targets. Being constructed in a modular structure, the proposed modular mART can effectively prevent the clusters from representing multiple classes and can be trained to organze two dimensional distortion invariant feature maps so as to recognize targets with three dimensional distortion. We also present the recognition result and self-organization perfdormance of the proposed modular mART neural network after carried out some experiments with 14 tank and fighter target models.

Using a neural network for vector quantization, we can expect to have better codebook design algorithm for its adaptive process. Also, the designed codebook puts the codewords in order by its self-organizing characteristics, which makes it possible to partially search the codebook for real time process. To exploit these features of the neural network, in this paper, we propose a new codebook design algorithm that modified the KSFM(Kohonen`s Self-organizing Feature Map) and then combines the K-means algorithm. Experimental results show the performance improvment and the ability of the partical seach of the codebook for the real time process.

The Self Creating and Organizing (SCO) is a new architecture and one of the unsupervized learning algorithm for the artificial neural network. SCO begins with only one output node which has a sufficiently wide response range, and the response ranges of all the nodes decrease automatically whether adapting the weights of existing node or creating a new node. It is compared to the Kohonen's Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM). The results show that SCONN has lots of advantages over other competitive learning architecture.

In this paper, we propose a fast motion estimation algorithm using motion prediction and neural network. Considering that the motion vectors have high spatial correlation, the motion vector of current block is predicted by those of neighboring blocks. The codebook of motion vector is designed by Kohonen self-organizing feature map(KSFM) learning algorithm which has a fast learning speed and 2-D adaptive chararteristics. Since the similar codevectors are closely located in the 2-D codebook the motion is progressively estimated from the predicted codevector in the codebook. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method has a good performance with reduced computational complexity.

코호넨의 SOFM(Self-Organizing Feature Map)온 빠른 검증 학습이 가능하여 다층 퍼셉트론의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 패턴분류기로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 기본적으로 고정된 크기와 구조의 네트워크를 사용하기 때문에 실재 문제에 적용하기가 쉽지 않다는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 패턴에 대한 사전 정보없이 복잡한 패턴공간을 적응적으로 분할하기 위해 구조적응되는 자기조직화 신경망을 소개하고 이를 인쇄체 한글 문자의 인식에 적용한 결과를 보여준다. 여기에서 제안하는 신경망은 SOFM의 각 셀이 좀더 자세한 SOFM으로 확장될 수 있도록하며, 확률분포가 0인 셀을 제거함으로써 패턴 공간에 보다 근사한 분류를 가능하게 한다. 실제로 이러한 방식이 한글과 같은 복잡한 분류 문제에서 어떻게 작동하는지 설명하고, 한글 완성형 2350자에 대해 실험한 결과를 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 LVQ를 퍼지화한 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙들을 제안하였다. 퍼지 LVQ 학습법칙 1은 기존의 학습률 대신에 퍼지 학습률을 사용하였는데 이는 조건 확률의 퍼지화에 기반을 두고 있다. 퍼지 LVQ 학습법칙 2는 클래스들 사이에 존재하는 입력벡터가 결정 경계선에 대한 정보를 더 가지고 있는 것을 반영한 것이다. 이 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙들을 improved IAFC(Integrted Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering)신경회로망에 적용하였다. improved IAFC신경회로망은 ART-1 (Adaptive Resonance Theory)신경회로망과 Kohonen의 Self-Organizing Feature Map의 장점을 취합한 퍼지 신경회로망이다. 제안한 supervised IAFC 신경회로망 1과 supervised IAFC neural 신경회로망 2의 성능을 오류 역전파 신경회로망의 성능과 비교하기 위하여 iris 데이터를 사용하였는데 Supervised IAFC neural network 2가 오류 역전파 신경회로망보다 성능이 우수함을 보여주었다.

This paper presents a fuzzy neural network model which solves the underutilization problem. This fuzzy neural network has both stability and flexibility because it uses the control structure similar to AHT(Adaptive Resonance Theory)-l neural network. And this fuzzy nenral network does not need to initialize weights and is less sensitive to noise than ART-l neural network is. The learning rule of this fuzzy neural network is the modified and fuzzified version of Kohonen learning rule and is based on the fuzzification of leaky competitive leaming and the fuzzification of conditional probability. The similarity measure of vigilance test, which is performed after selecting a winner among output neurons, is the relative distance. This relative distance considers Euclidean distance and the relative location between a datum and the prototypes of clusters. To compare the performance of the proposed fuzzy neural network with that of Kohonen Self-Organizing Feature Map the IRIS data and Gaussian-distributed data are used.
