A Nom historical document recognition system is being developed for digital archiving that uses image binarization, character segmentation, and character recognition. It incorporates two versions of off-line character recognition: one for automatic recognition of scanned and segmented character patterns (7660 categories) and the other for user handwritten input (32,695 categories). This separation is used since including less frequently appearing categories in automatic recognition increases the misrecognition rate without reliable statistics on the Nom language. Moreover, a user must be able to check the results and identify the correct categories from an extended set of categories, and a user can input characters by hand. Both versions use the same recognition method, but they are trained using different sets of training patterns. Recursive X–Y cut and Voronoi diagrams are used for segmentation; k–d tree and generalized learning vector quantization are used for coarse classification; and the modified quadratic discriminant function is used for fine classification. The system provides an interface through which a user can check the results, change binarization methods, rectify segmentation, and input correct character categories by hand. Evaluation done using a limited number of Nom historical documents after providing ground truths for them showed that the two stages of recognition along with user checking and correction improved the recognition results significantly. 相似文献
Scanning confocal electron microscopy (SCEM) offers a mechanism for three-dimensional imaging of materials, which makes use of the reduced depth of field in an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope. The simplest configuration of SCEM is the bright-field mode. In this paper we present experimental data and simulations showing the form of bright-field SCEM images. We show that the depth dependence of the three-dimensional image can be explained in terms of two-dimensional images formed in the detector plane. For a crystalline sample, this so-called probe image is shown to be similar to a conventional diffraction pattern. Experimental results and simulations show how the diffracted probes in this image are elongated in thicker crystals and the use of this elongation to estimate sample thickness is explored. 相似文献
The use of an agent in the environment, as in medical treatment, welfare, the construction field, and the home, is examined.
It is necessary for the agent to be able to work cooperatively with a human, and that may be a problem. Therefore, this study
pays attention to the phenomenon that is called entrainment. This is the phenomenon where the rhythm of a certain person and
the partner in the communication is synchronized. The purpose of this study is to perform a basic examination into applying
an entrainment in order to realize cooperation in operations between a human and an agent. Since many human rhythms are expressed
by a nonlinear oscillator, we simulated limited cycle oscillators, which are one of two nonlinear oscillators that cause interactions
between agents, as the basic examination for this achievement. Consequently, entrainment of limited cycle oscillators with
rhythms which differ has been checked in certain conditions. As a result, the possibility that cooperative movement could
be gained was suggested. 相似文献
In order to facilitate the implementations ofTMN interface protocols/services studied inITU-T, it is very important to define profiles for supportingTMN management service. This paper proposes a concrete method for achieving this based on osi management standards as a promisingTMN implementation method. It proposes an idea of structuring theTMNISP’S based on the structure of the osi managementISP’S. The paper discusses aTMN based on the osi managementISP’S. Finally the implementation as software is discussed and a software architecture for efficient application development is proposed. 相似文献
We have studies optical and transport properties of the prototypical high-Tc system La2–xSrxCuO4 in the direction perpendicular to the CuO2 planes (c-axis direction). In the normal state, it is found that the c-axis spectral weight is suppressed over a wide energy range. This is a demonstration of charge confinement in the real material which has been proposed theoretically by Anderson. Upon reducing temperature the low-energy spectral weight of the underdoped compound is further reduced, due perhaps to spin gap effect. The suppressed spectral weight results in completely different out-of-plane charge transport in the normal state and leads to the appearance of a superconducting plasma edge within the gap region in the superconducting state. 相似文献
This paper describes relationships between characteristics of a magnetically anisotropic slot wedge and voltage higher harmonics in an ac exciting synchronous generator terminal due to permeance ripple caused by an open-slot-type rotor. From the relationships obtained, practical guidelines were formulated for machine designs applying the magnetically anisotropic slot wedge. The results are as follows.
1 (1) Equivalent permeability of the magnetically anisotropic slot wedge became isotropic wedge permeability for air-gap flux ripple.
2 (2) Two ways were identified to reduce voltage-higher harmonics by using the slot wedges.
3 (3) The level of leakage flux passing through the anisotropic slot wedge was determined only by its permeability in the width direction.
4 (4) Effectiveness of the magnetic anisotropic slot wedges inserted into the stator slots was verified from experimental results using a model machine of the open- slot-type rotor.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that may affect the autonomic nervous system (ANS) from 15 to 20 min before seizure onset, and disturbances of ANS affect R–R intervals (RRI) on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This study aims to develop a machine learning algorithm for predicting focal epileptic seizures by monitoring R–R interval (RRI) data in real time. The developed algorithm adopts a self-attentive autoencoder (SA-AE), which is a neural network for time-series data.
The results of applying the developed seizure prediction algorithm to clinical data demonstrated that it functioned well in most patients; however, false positives (FPs) occurred in specific participants. In a future work, we will investigate the causes of FPs and optimize the developing seizure prediction algorithm to further improve performance using newly added clinical data.
A new kind of the Vernier mechanism that is able to control the size of linear assembly of DNA origami nanostructures is proposed. The mechanism is realized by mechanical design of DNA origami, which consists of a hollow cylinder and a rotatable shaft in it connected through the same scaffold. This nanostructure stacks with each other by the shape complementarity at its top and bottom surfaces of the cylinder, while the number of stacking is limited by twisting angle of the shaft. Experiments have shown that the size distribution of multimeric assembly of the origami depends on the twisting angle of the shaft; the average lengths of the multimer are decamer, hexamer, and tetramer for 0°, 10°, and 20° twist, respectively. In summary, it is possible to affect the number of polymerization by adjusting the precise shape and movability of a molecular structure. 相似文献
