Hybrid neural network classifiers for automatic target detection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract: We describe a one-class classification approach to an automatic target detection problem, which involves distinguishing targets from clutter in diverse environments. We use only target statistics to construct the classifier. The classifier combines conventional and neural network methods. The classifier is a Parzen estimator, which requires storage and recall of all training points. To reduce the size of the training set, we apply two neural network learning algorithms: (1) we use a backpropagation network to approximate the Parzen estimator; (2) we apply the infomax learning principle to compress the size of the training set before constructing the Parzen estimator. We find that the results obtained with the infomax scheme approach those obtained with Parzen alone and are better than those obtained with backpropagation. 相似文献

A Feature-Based Serial Approach to Classifier Combination 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
: A new approach to the serial multi-stage combination of classifiers is proposed. Each classifier in the sequence uses a
smaller subset of features than the subsequent classifier. The classification provided by a classifier is rejected only if
its decision is below a predefined confidence level. The approach is tested on a two-stage combination of k-Nearest Neighbour classifiers. The features to be used by the first classifier in the combination are selected by two stand-alone
algorithms (Relief and Info-Fuzzy Network, or IFN) and a hybrid method, called ‘IFN + Relief’. The feature-based approach
is shown empirically to provide a substantial decrease in the computational complexity, while maintaining the accuracy level
of a single-stage classifier or even improving it.

This article describes a permutation neural classifier technique for the object recognition problem. Our research is aimed
to help the automation of micromanufacturing and microassembly processes. In this article, we describe an object recognition
system based on permutation of codes and neural classifier technique. This approach is called permutation code neural classifier
(PCNC). In this work, we describe our experiments and results applying the PCNC in the recognition of micro work pieces. Two
databases with different images were used for the experiments. The authors have published these databases and encourage the
community to compare results. The best recognition rate obtained for the PCNC was of 97%. 相似文献

This paper discusses the use of an integrated HMM/NN classifier for speech recognition. The proposed classifier combines the time normalization property of the HMM classifier with the superior discriminative ability of the neural net (NN) classifier. Speech signals display a strong time varying characteristic. Although the neural net has been successful in many classification problems, its success (compared to HMM) is secondary to HMM in the field of speech recognition. The main reason is the lack of time normalization characteristics of most neural net structures (time-delay neural net is one notable exception but its structure is very complex). In the proposed integrated hybrid HMM/NN classifier, a left-to-right HMM module is used first to segment the observation sequence of every exemplar into a fixed number of states. Subsequently, all the frames belonging to the same state are replaced by one average frame. Thus, every exemplar, irrespective of its time scale variation, is transformed into a fixed number of frames, i.e., a static pattern. The multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural net is then used as the classifier for these time normalized exemplars. Some experimental results using telephone speech databases are presented to demonstrate the potential of this hybrid integrated classifier. 相似文献

Selection of the best set of scales is problematic when developing signal‐driven approaches for pixel‐based image segmentation. Often, different possibly conflicting criteria need to be fulfilled in order to obtain the best trade‐off between uncertainty (variance) and location accuracy. The optimal set of scales depends on several factors: the noise level present in the image material, the prior distribution of the different types of segments, the class‐conditional distributions associated with each type of segment as well as the actual size of the (connected) segments. We analyse, theoretically and through experiments, the possibility of using the overall and class‐conditional error rates as criteria for selecting the optimal sampling of the linear and morphological scale spaces. It is shown that the overall error rate is optimized by taking the prior class distribution in the image material into account. However, a uniform (ignorant) prior distribution ensures constant class‐conditional error rates. Consequently, we advocate for a uniform prior class distribution when an uncommitted, scale‐invariant segmentation approach is desired. Experiments with a neural net classifier developed for segmentation of dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) images, acquired with a paramagnetic tracer, support the theoretical results. Furthermore, the experiments show that the addition of spatial features to the classifier, extracted from the linear or morphological scale spaces, improves the segmentation result compared to a signal‐driven approach based solely on the dynamic MR signal. The segmentation results obtained from the two types of features are compared using two novel quality measures that characterize spatial properties of labelled images.

The paper motivates and describes a model oriented approach for consistent specification of interface suites in UML. An interface
suite is a coherent collection of interfaces defining interactions that transcend component boundaries. The specification
of interface suites contains diagrammatic views and documentation, but it is extended with templates for structured specifications
deriving from the ISpec approach. To guarantee that the specification views, documentation and templates are consistent, a
specification model has been constructed. The model contains both structural and behavioural information, represented in the
form of sequences of carefully designed tuples. The model provides the underlying structure for the tool supporting the design
process. The tool directs the designer to specify all elements of the model in a consistent way. The specification is collected
both by customized specification templates and by diagrams. The documentation and the diagram elements – both derived from
the template information – are automatically generated. This prevents errors and provides specification consistency.

This paper describes an independent handwriting style classifier that has been designed to select the best recognizer for a given style of writing. For this purpose a definition of handwriting legibility has been defined and a method implemented that can predict this legibility. The technique consists of two phases. In the feature-extraction phase, a set of 36 features is extracted from the image contour. In the classification phase, two nonparametric classification techniques are applied to the extracted features in order to compare their effectiveness in classifying words into legible, illegible, and middle classes. In the first method, a multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) is used to transform the space of extracted features (36 dimensions) into an optimal discriminant space for a nearest mean based classifier. In the second method, a probabilistic neural network (PNN) based on the Bayes strategy and nonparametric estimation of probability density function is used. The experimental results show that the PNN method gives superior classification results when compared with the MDA method. For the legible, illegible, and middle handwriting the method provides 86.5% (legible/illegible), 65.5% (legible/middle), and 90.5% (middle/illegible) correct classification for two classes. For the three-class legibility classification the rate of correct classification is 67.33% using a PNN classifier.Received: 6 September 2002, Accepted: 19 September 2002, Published online: 6 June 2003 相似文献

A new approach to intelligent gas sensor (IGS) design using a classifier based on adaptive resonance theory (ART) artificial neural network (ANN) is presented. Using published data of sensor arrays fabricated and characterised at our laboratory, we demonstrate excellent gas/odour identification performance of our classifier for a 4-gas, 4-sensor system to identify individual gas/odour. Since the ART neural network is a self-organising classifier trained in the unsupervised mode, it avoids the drawbacks associated with static feedforward neural networks trained with a locally optimal backpropagation-type training algorithms applied by researchers in the recent past. The ART neural network offers easy implementability and real time performance in addition to giving excellent classification accuracy as demonstrated by our experiments. 相似文献

A new approach for estimating classification errors is presented. In the model, there are two types of classification error: empirical and generalization error. The first is the error observed over the training samples, and the second is the discrepancy between the error probability and empirical error. In this research, the Vapnik and Chervonenkis dimension (VCdim) is used as a measure for classifier complexity. Based on this complexity measure, an estimate for generalization error is developed. An optimal classifier design criterion (the generalized minimum empirical error criterion (GMEE)) is used. The GMEE criterion consists of two terms: the empirical and the estimate of generalization error. As an application, the criterion is used to design the optimal neural network classifier. A corollary to the Γ optimality of neural-network-based classifiers is proven. Thus, the approach provides a theoretic foundation for the connectionist approach to optimal classifier design.

We consider a popular approach to multicategory classification tasks: a two-stage system based on a first classifier with rejection followed by a nearest-neighbor classifier. Patterns which are not rejected by the first classifier are classified according to its output. Rejected patterns are passed to the nearest-neighbor classifier together with the top-h ranking classes returned by the first classifier. The nearest-neighbor classifier, looking at patterns in the top-h classes, classifies the rejected pattern. An editing strategy for the nearest-neighbor reference database, controlled by the first classifier, is also considered. We analyze this system. Moreover, we formally relate the response time of the system to the rejection rate of the first classifier and to the other system parameters. The error-response time trade-off is also discussed. Finally, we experimentally study two instances of the system applied to the recognition of handwritten digits. In one system, the first classifier is a fuzzy basis functions network, while in the second system it is a feed-forward neural network. Classification results as well as response times for different settings of the system parameters are reported for both systems 相似文献

This paper presents a new method for linearly combining multiple neural network classifiers based on the statistical pattern recognition theory. In our approach, several neural networks are first selected based on which works best for each class in terms of minimizing classification errors. Then, they are linearly combined to form an ideal classifier that exploits the strengths of the individual classifiers. In this approach, the minimum classification error criterion is utilized to estimate the optimal linear weights. In this formulation, because the classification decision rule is incorporated into the cost function, a more suitable better combination of weights for the classification objective could be obtained. Experimental results using artificial and real data sets show that the proposed method can construct a better combined classifier that outperforms the best single classifier in terms of overall classification errors for test data 相似文献

A supervised learning neural network classifier that utilizes fuzzy sets as pattern classes is described. Each fuzzy set is an aggregate (union) of fuzzy set hyperboxes. A fuzzy set hyperbox is an n-dimensional box defined by a min point and a max point with a corresponding membership function. The min-max points are determined using the fuzzy min-max learning algorithm, an expansion-contraction process that can learn nonlinear class boundaries in a single pass through the data and provides the ability to incorporate new and refine existing classes without retraining. The use of a fuzzy set approach to pattern classification inherently provides a degree of membership information that is extremely useful in higher-level decision making. The relationship between fuzzy sets and pattern classification is described. The fuzzy min-max classifier neural network implementation is explained, the learning and recall algorithms are outlined, and several examples of operation demonstrate the strong qualities of this new neural network classifier. 相似文献

K-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) is a widely used technique for classifying and clustering data. K-NN is effective but is often criticised for its polynomial run-time growth as k-NN calculates the distance to every other record in the data set for each record in turn. This paper evaluates a novel k-NN classifier with linear growth and faster run-time built from binary neural networks. The binary neural approach uses robust encoding to map standard ordinal, categorical and real-valued data sets onto a binary neural network. The binary neural network uses high speed pattern matching to recall the k-best matches. We compare various configurations of the binary approach to a conventional approach for memory overheads, training speed, retrieval speed and retrieval accuracy. We demonstrate the superior performance with respect to speed and memory requirements of the binary approach compared to the standard approach and we pinpoint the optimal configurations. 相似文献

A fault diagnosis procedure for analog linear circuits is presented. It uses an off-line trained neural network as a classifier. The innovative aspect of the proposed approach is the way the information provided by testability and ambiguity group determination is exploited when choosing the neural network architecture. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown by comparing with similar work that has already appeared in the literature. 相似文献

The closed-loop design experiment described in this paper demonstrates a three-phase automated design approach to pattern recognition. The experiment generates morphological feature detectors and then uses a novel application of genetic algorithms to select cooperative sets of features to pass to a neural net classifier. The self-organizing hybrid learning approach embodied in this closed-loop design methodology is complementary to conventional artificial intelligence (AI) expert systems that utilize rule-based approaches and a specific set of design elements. This experiment is part of a study directed to emulating the nondirected processes of biological evolution. The approach we discuss is semiautomatic in that initialization of computer programs requires human experience and expertise to select representations, develop search strategies, choose performance measures, and devise resource-allocation strategies. The hope is that these tasks will become easier with experience and will provide the means to exploit parallel processing without the need to analyze or program an entire design solution. 相似文献
