Through the recognition and the satisfaction of the lower part of the women body from age 30 to age 49 we studied 211 respondents of the women to analyze what lower part shape they want. The results are as follows. 1. The recognition of the lower Part showed certain degrees of differences in waist girth, abdomen girth, and weight according to the age. 2. The female of the 40s showed higher satisfaction of their lower part considering that of the 30s 3. The cluster analysis of the lower part shape of the 30s and 40s was classified into 5 types.

The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of combining three popular tools used in pattern recognition, which are the Active Appearance Model (AAM), the two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT), and Kernel Fisher Analysis (KFA), for face recognition across age variations. For this purpose, we first used AAM to generate an AAM-based face representation; then, we applied 2D-DCT to get the descriptor of the image; and finally, we used a multiclass KFA for dimension reduction. Classification was made through a K-nearest neighbor classifier, based on Euclidean distance. Our experimental results on face images, which were obtained from the publicly available FG-NET face database, showed that the proposed descriptor worked satisfactorily for both face identification and verification across age progression.

Stochastic computation is adopted to reduce the silicon area of the multipliers in implementing neural network in VLSI. In addition to this advantage, the stochastic computation has inherent random errors which is required for implementing Boltzmann machine. This random noise is useful for the simulated annealing which is employed to achieve the global minimum for the Boltzmann Machine. In this paper, we propose a method to implement the Boltzmann machine with stochastic computation and discuss the addition problem in stochastic computation and its simulated annealing in detail. According to this analysis Boltzmann machine using stochastic computation is suitable for the pattern recognition/completion problems. We have verified these results through the simulations for XOR, full adder and digit recognition problems, which are typical of the pattern recognition/completion problems.

In this paper, a new method is proposed to recognize a character from its similar characters, which are selected by pattern matching method in Korean character recognition. This new method, which couples the merits of already suggested methods, can choose the character to be in the candidate set and discriminate it from the others correctly. To evaluate performance of this algorithm, we used 15 kinds of different laser printer fonts and obtained about 97% of recognition rate.

Based on the chaos theory, a new method of presentation of speech signal has been presented in this paper. This new method can be used for pattern matching such as speaker recognition. The expressions of attractors are represented very well by the logistic maps that show the chaos phenomena. In the speaker recognition field, a speaker's vocal habit could be a very important matching parameter. The attractor configuration using change value of speech signal can be utilized to analyze the influence of voice undulations at a point on the vocal loudness scale to the next point. The attractors arranged by the method could be used in research fields of speech recognition because the attractors also contain unique information for each speaker.

Chaos theory is a study researching the irregular, unpredictable behavior of deterministic and non-linear dynamical system. The interpretation using Chaos makes us evaluate characteristic existing in status space of system by tine series, so that the extraction of Chaos characteristic understanding and those characteristics enables us to do high precision interpretation. Therefore, This paper propose the new method which is adopted in extracting character features and recognizing characters using the Chaos Theory. Firstly, it gets features of mesh feature, projection feature and cross distance feature from input character images. And their feature is converted into time series data. Then using the modified Henon system suggested in this paper, it gets last features of character image after calculating Box-counting dimension, Natural Measure, information bit and information dimension which are meant fractal dimension. Finally, character recognition is performed by statistically finding out the each information bit showing the minimum difference against the normalized pattern database. An experimental result shows 99% character classification rates for 2,350 Korean characters (Hangul) using proposed method in this paper.

This paper was undertaken to recognize the pattern of the wear debris by neural network as a link for the development of diagnosis system for movable condition of the lubricated machine surface. The wear test was carried out under different experimental conditions using the wear test device was made in laboratory and wear testing specimen of the pin-on-disk type were rubbed in paraffine series base oil, by varying applied load, sliding distance and mating material. The neural network has been used to pattern recognition of four parameter (diameter, elongation, complex and contrast) of the wear debris and learned the friction condition of five values (material 3, applied load 1, sliding distance 1). The three kinds of the wear debris had a different pattern characteristic and recognized the friction condition and materials very well by the neural network. The characteristic parameter of the large wear debris over a few micron size enlarged recognition ability.

In this paper, the response characteristics of organic gases were investigated by using quartz crystal microbalance(Q.C.M) with different polymeric sensitive materials. The new linear parameter was discussed in order to develope gas sensing system using neural network and pattern recognition. We analyzed the response characteristics by the area of resonant frequency shift of quartz crystal, which mean affinities of organic gases for polymeric sensitive firm. The experimental results shows that the parameter made by the area of frequency shift which was linear with injection amount of organic gases has possibility to be used for pattern recognition and neural network. And they have different normalized pattern.

Even though the impact of manufacturing quality to reliability is not considered much as well as that of design area, a major cause of an early failure of the product is known as manufacturing problem. This research applies two different types of neural network algorithms, the Back propagation (BP) algorithm and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm, to identify and classify the nonrandom variation pattern on the control chart based on knowledge-based diagnosis of dimensional variation. The performance and efficiency of both algorithms are evaluated to choose the better pattern recognition system for auto body assembly process. To analyze hundred percent of the data obtained by Optical Coordinate Measurement Machine (OCMM), this research considers an application in which individual observations rather than subsample means are used. A case study for analysis of OCMM data in underbody assembly process is presented to demonstrate the proposed knowledge-based pattern recognition system.

IAn important problem of pattern recognition is to extract or select feature set, which is included in the pre-processing stage. In order to extract feature set, Principal component analysis has been usually used and SFS(Sequential Forward Selection) and SBS(Sequential Backward Selection) have been used as a feature selection method. This paper applies genetic algorithm which is a popular method for nonlinear optimization problem to the feature selection problem. So, we call it Genetic Algorithm Feature Selection(GAFS) and this algorithm is compared to other methods in the performance aspect.
