The object recognition mechanism of human being is not well understood yet. On research of animal experiment using an ape, however, neurons that respond to simple shape (e.g. circle, triangle, square and so on) were found. And Hypothesis has been set up as human being may recognize object as combination of such simple shapes. That mechanism is called Figure Alphabet Hypothesis, and those simple shapes are called Figure Alphabet. As one way to research object recognition algorithm, we focused attention to this Figure Alphabet Hypothesis. Getting idea from it, we proposed the feature extraction algorithm for object recognition. In this paper, we described recognition of binarized images of multifont alphabet characters by the recognition model which combined three-layered neural network in the feature extraction algorithm. First of all, we calculated the difference between the learning image data set and the template by the feature extraction algorithm. The computed finite difference is a feature quantity of the feature extraction algorithm. We had it input the feature quantity to the neural network model and learn by backpropagation (BP method). We had the recognition model recognize the unknown image data set and found the correct answer rate. To estimate the performance of the contriving recognition model, we had the unknown image data set recognized by a conventional neural network. As a result, the contriving recognition model showed a higher correct answer rate than a conventional neural network model. Therefore the validity of the contriving recognition model could be proved. We'll plan the research a recognition of natural image by the contriving recognition model in the future.

The design of a pattern recognition system generally involves the three aspects: preprocessing, feature extraction, and decision making. Among them, a feature extraction method determines an appropriate subspace of dimensionality in the original feature space of dimensionality so that it can reduce the complexity of the system and help to improve successful recognition rates. Linear transforms, such as principal component analysis, factor analysis, and linear discriminant analysis have been widely used in pattern recognition for feature extraction. This paper shows that singular value decomposition (SVD) can be applied usefully in feature extraction stage of pattern recognition. As an application, a remote sensing problem is applied to verify the usefulness of SVD. The experimental result indicates that the feature extraction using SVD can improve the recognition rate about 25% compared with that of PCA.

This paper describes an integrated CAD and CAPP system for prismatic parts of injection mold which generates a complete process plan automatically from CAD data of a part without human intervention. This system employs Auto CAD as a CAD model and GS-CAPP as an automatic process planning system for injection mold. The proposed CAD/CAPP system consists of three modules such as CAD data conversion module, manufacturing feature recognition module, and CAD/CAPP interface module. CAD data conversion module transforms design data of AutoCAD into three dimensional part data. Manufacturing feature recognition module extracts specific manufacturing features of a part using feature recognition rule base. Each feature can be recognized by combining geometry, position and size of the feature. CAD/CAPP interface module links manufacturing feature codes and other head data to automatic process planning system. The CAD/CAPP system can improve the efficiency of process planning activities and reduce the time required for process planning. This system can provide a basis for the development of part feature based design by analyzing manufacturing features.

We consider the feature recombination technique in a multiband approach to speaker identification and verification. To overcome the ineffectiveness of conventional feature recombination in broadband noisy environments, we propose a new subband feature recombination which uses subband likelihoods and a subband reliable-feature selection technique with an adaptive noise model. In the decision step of speaker recognition, a few very low unreliable feature likelihood scores can cause a speaker recognition system to make an incorrect decision. To overcome this problem, reliable-feature selection adjusts the likelihood scores of an unreliable feature by comparison with those of an adaptive noise model, which is estimated by the maximum a posteriori adaptation technique using noise features directly obtained from noisy test speech. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in noisy environments, we use the TIMIT database and the NTIMIT database, which is the corresponding telephone version of TIMIT database. The proposed subband feature recombination with subband reliable-feature selection achieves better performance than the conventional feature recombination system with reliable-feature selection.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm which used backtracking method to get time information, and it be modelled DMS (Dynamic Multisection) by feature vectors and time information whic are represented to similiar feature in word patterns spoken during continuous time domain, for Korean Speech recognition by independent speaker using DMS. Each state of model is represented time sequence, and have time information and feature vector. Typical feature vector is determined as the feature vector of each state to minimize the distance between word patterns. DDD Area names are selected as recognition wcabulary and 12th LPC cepstrum coefficients are used as the feature parameter. State of model is made 8 multisection and is used 0.2 as weight for time information. Through the experiment result, recognition rate by DMS model is 94.8%, and it is shown that this is better than recognition rate (89.3%) by MSVQ(Multisection Vector Quantization) method.

The ability to recognize human emotion is one of the hallmarks of human-robot interaction. Hence this paper describes the realization of emotion recognition. For emotion recognition from voice, we propose a new feature called frequency range of meaningful signal. With this feature, we reached average recognition rate of 76% in speaker-dependent. From the experimental results, we confirm the usefulness of the proposed feature. We also define the noise environment and conduct the noise-environment test. In contrast to other features, the proposed feature is robust in a noise-environment.

The extraction and recognition of human motion characteristics need to combine biometrics to determine and judge human behavior in the movement and distinguish individual identities. The so-called biometric technology, the specific operation is the use of the body's inherent biological characteristics of individual identity authentication, the most noteworthy feature is the invariance and uniqueness. In the past, the behavior recognition technology based on the single characteristic was too restrictive, in this paper, we proposed a mixed feature which combined global silhouette feature and local optical flow feature, and this combined representation was used for human action recognition. And we will use the KTH database to train and test the recognition system. Experiments have been very desirable results.

In an effort to enhance the quality of feature vector classification and thereby reduce the recognition error rate of the speaker-independent speech recognition, we employ the Mahalanobis distance in the calculation of the similarity measure between feature vectors. It is assumed that the metric matrix of the Mahalanobis distance be diagonal for the sake of cost reduction in memory and time of calculation. We propose that the diagonal elements be given in terms of the variations of the feature vector components. Geometrically, this prescription tends to redistribute the set of data in the shape of a hypersphere in the feature vector space. The idea is applied to the speech recognition by hidden Markov model with fuzzy vector quantization. The result shows that the recognition is improved by an appropriate choice of the relevant adjustable parameter. The Viterbi score difference of the two winners in the recognition test shows that the general behavior is in accord with that of the recognition error rate.

An application of Gammatone auditory filterbank for emotion recognition from speech is described in this paper. Gammatone filterbank is a bank of Gammatone filters which are used as a preprocessing stage before applying feature extraction methods to get the most relevant features for emotion recognition from speech. In the feature extraction step, the energy value of output signal of each filter is computed and combined with other of all filters to produce a feature vector for the learning step. A feature vector is estimated in a short time period of input speech signal to take the advantage of dependence on time domain. Finally, in the learning step, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used to create a model for each emotion class and recognize a particular input emotional speech. In the experiment, feature extraction based on Gammatone filterbank (GTF) shows the better outcomes in comparison with features based on Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) which is a well-known feature extraction for speech recognition as well as emotion recognition from speech.
