In this paper, we propose a system that extracts licence plate and recognizes numerals in the licence plate. The candidate area of licence plate is extracted using the improved IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) fuzzy neural network. And the morphological filters are used to reduce noise from the extracted licence plate. The extracted licence plate is standardized using Hough transform and geometric transform. Backpropagation neural network is used to recognize numerals that are separated using the projection technique.

The aim of this paper is to research phonological and morphological features in Korean Voices from Berlin. The Korean Voices from Berlin was recorded in 1917 at Berlin by 5 Korean prisoners engaged in World War I, some of them came from North Hamgyeong Province, the others came from Pyeongan Province, therefore these data show a North Korean regional dialect. The data are composed of three materials, counting numbers, reciting scriptures and singing folksongs. The results of this research are as follows. 1) The consonant system of Korean voices is similar to standard Korean. The 19 consonants are classified according to 5 manners of articulations and 5 points of articulations. 2) The liquid /l/ has three allophones, [ɾ] appeared in an onset position, [l] in a word medial coda position or preceded by [l], [ɹ] in a word final coda position. 3) The vowel system of Korean voices is similar to early 20th Korean's. It has 8 monophthongs, /a, ʌ, o, u, ɯ, i, e, ${\varepsilon}$/. 4) The 1 to 10 numbers in Korean voices are similar to Middle-Korean numerals. 5) The genitive particle '/ɯi/의' is pronounced [i], [ɯ], [${\varepsilon}$], especially [ɯ] is appeared in Sino Korean. 6) The /l/-deletion of conjugations are similar to Middle-Korean, /l/ deletion always occurred, if [+cor] consonants are followed.

Indian subcontinent is a birthplace of multilingual people where documents such as job application form, passport, number plate identification, and so forth is composed of text contents written in different languages/scripts. These scripts may be in the form of different indic numerals in a single document page. Due to this reason, building a generic recognizer that is capable of recognizing handwritten indic digits written by diverse writers is needed. Also, a lot of work has been done for various non-Indic numerals particularly, in case of Roman, but, in case of Indic digits, the research is limited. Moreover, most of the research focuses with only on MNIST datasets or with only single datasets, either because of time restraints or because the model is tailored to a specific task. In this work, a hybrid model is proposed to recognize all available indic handwritten digit images using the existing benchmark datasets. The proposed method bridges the automatically learnt features of Capsule Network with hand crafted Bag of Feature (BoF) extraction method. Along the way, we analyze (1) the successes (2) explore whether this method will perform well on more difficult conditions i.e. noise, color, affine transformations, intra-class variation, natural scenes. Experimental results show that the hybrid method gives better accuracy in comparison with Capsule Network.

In this paper, we propose a directional feature extraction method for off-line handwritten numerals by using the morphological operations. Direction features are obtained from four directional line images, each of which contains horizontal, vertical, right-diagonal and left-diagonal lines in entire numeral lines. Conventional method for extracting directional features uses Kirsch masks which generate edge-shaped double line images for each direction, whereas our method uses directional erosion operations and generate single line images for each direction. To apply these directional erosion operations to the numeral image, preprocessing steps such as thinning and dilation are required, but resultant directional lines are more similar to numeral lines themselves. Our four [$4{\times}4$] directional features of a numeral are obtained from four directional line images through a zoning method. For obtaining the higher recognition rates of the handwrittern numerals, we use the multiple feature which is comprised of our proposed feature and the conventional features of a kirsch directional feature and a concavity feature. For recognition test with given features, we use a multi-layer perceptron neural network classifier which is trained with the back propagation algorithm. Through the experiments with the CENPARMI numeral database of Concordia University, we have achieved a recognition rate of 98.35%.

This paper evaluates the clustering performance of a neural network and a statistical method. Algorithms which are used in this paper are the GLVQ(Generalized Loaming vector Quantization) for a neural method and the k -means algorithm for a statistical clustering method. For comparison of two methods, we calculate the Rand's c statistics. As a result, the mean of c value obtained with the GLVQ is higher than that obtained with the k -means algorithm, while standard deviation of c value is lower. Experimental data sets were the Fisher's IRIS data and patterns extracted from handwritten numerals.

This essay will introduce that how the Korean and Japanese numerals have been developed from the same ancient original words. It would be a big interest for many people who have interested in knowing the orgin of Japanese language of which many Japanese schalors tend to define Japanese language to be one of mysterious ones. This essay however would unveil the orgin of Japanese language refering to the close relation between Korean and Japanese language explained by the writer. Such achievement have been accomplished by the adoption of method of putting the corresponding both countries words in series arrangement developed by the writer.

The author have devised the main table of International Centesimal Classification(ICC). This is the second study of ICC. And so, this study intends to devise a new and reasonable form divisions for the ICC. This study analyses the 'standard subdivisions' of DDC and the 'general form divisions' of UDC and LCC, to investigate the problems included among them. And then, it devises the three tables of 'Internal form divisions, External form divisions, and Special form divisions' in two digit of arabic numerals.

숫자열 인식은 문서 자동화 분야에서 매우 중요하다. 기존의 방법들은 숫자열을 낱자 단위로 분할하는 단계와 분할된 숫자들을 인식하는 두 단계로 이루어져 있다. 이들 방법으로는 접촉 유형의 많은 변형 때문에 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 없다. 본 논문은 두자 접촉 숫자열을 분할-자유 방법으로 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 두자 접촉 숫자열을 하나의 패턴으로 간주하여 인식한다. 즉, 인식 대상이 되는 부류가 100개(00, 01, 02, ... , 98, 99)이다. 훈련 데이터는 NIST 데이터베이스에의 낱자 단위 숫자들을 조합하여 합성하였고, 테스트 데이터는 NIST의 숫자열 필드에서 두자 접촉한 숫자열 만을 추출하여 사용하였다.

실생활에서 사용되는 은행전표에는 많은 숫자 항목이 포함되어 있다. 이 항목들에 나타나는 숫자들은 단순히 숫자들의 배열이 아니라 콤마나 하이픈 등이 포함되어 있으며 많은 경우 숫자들끼리 서로 접촉되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 시중 은행에서 사용되는 전표의 필기 숫자 항목을 처리하기 위한 시스템을 제안하고 이 효용성을 확인하기 위한 실험결과를 보였다. 실험은 크게 숫자분할 알고리즘에 대한 실험과 전체 시스템 성능에 대한 실험으로 나뉜다. 접촉된 두 숫자의 분할 알고리즘 성능 결과는 78.1%의 분할 성공률을 보였고 은행전표의 필기숫자 항목에 적용 결과는 53.5%였다.
