Hierarchical incremental class learning (HICL), proposed by Guan and Li in 2002, is a recently proposed task decomposition method that addresses the pattern classification problem. HICL is proven to be a good classifier but closer examination reveals areas for potential improvement. This paper presents an approach to improve the classification accuracy of HICL by applying the concept of reduced pattern training (RPT). The procedure for RPT is described and compared with the original training procedure. RPT systematically reduces the size of the training data set based on the order of sub-networks built. The results from benchmark classification problems show much promise for the improved model

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of various techniques based upon moment invariants (Hu, 1961). The features that have been extracted are based on moments, image partition, principal component axes (PCA), correlation coefficient and perturbed moments. In image partition method, the image is divided into four parts with three different ways. The principal component axes (PCA) method has been used to balance the distribution of pixels in different regions of the image. Correlation coefficient provides dependencies of different moments on each other. In perturbed moment method, moment invariants are computed by small perturbation in image and information is extracted from the perturbation. All techniques have been applied on 2000 handwritten Devanagari numerals. The Gaussian distribution function has been adopted for classification. The success rate can be enhanced to 92% using image partition method

This paper is concerned with discovering positive and negative association rules, a problem which has been addressed by various authors from different angles, but for which no fully satisfactory solution has yet been proposed. We catalogue and critically examine the existing definitions and approaches, and we present an a priori-based algorithm that is able to find all valid positive and negative association rules in a support-confidence framework. Efficiency is guaranteed by exploiting an upward closure property that holds for the support of negative association rules under our definition of validity

In this paper, we propose an effective noise reduction method for image sequences corrupted by the Gaussian noise or impulse noise. The basic strategy is to combine the spatial just noticeable distortion (JND) with local image characteristics for spatial filtering and utilize the motion compensation for temporal filtering. For spatial filtering, an adaptive scheme composed of the harmonic mean filter, weighted arithmetic mean filter, alpha-trimmed mean filter, median filter and thresholding filter is dedicated to reducing noises on an image. Then, a motion-compensation based temporal filter is focused on refining the spatial-filtered image frame with the previous and following frames. Experimental results show that the proposed noise-reduction method is better than four previous methods with a PSNR improvement rate of 8.85% on Gaussian noise, 11.69% on fixed-value impulse noise and 11.64% on random-value impulse noise over the average of these four methods

Biological evolution provides an immensely powerful toolset for problem solving, while evolutionary computation attempts to harness the power of biological evolution for solving problems using classical computing paradigms. Quantum computing offers many apparent advantages over classical computing for certain types of problems, such as searching or optimizing over large solution sets. Once practical quantum computers are available, we would like to take advantage of their highly parallel computing capabilities for use in evolutionary computation. In this work we explore the nexus between quantum and evolutionary computation, and propose an approach toward a practical framework for performing evolutionary computation on quantum computers

This research project reflects an increased awareness of the need to improve the flow of information on control engineering technology and the current lack of bilingualized (English-Thai-English) dictionary in this field. The central aim of this project is to develop a corpus of control engineering text. It starts with a survey of users' needs in control engineering English from 3 areas, i.e. control systems, automation and instrumentation, extracted from textbooks and journals. The corpus comprises 2,141,293 words (tokens) of running text. The linguistic data of the corpus provides insights into the sublanguage of control engineering. The corpus was then analysed by concordance program named WordSmith Tools Package to discover the frequency list of individual words, and collocations. The corpus findings in terms of word frequencies, corpus evidence on word combinations and typical usage from the concordance are used to find out the technical terms and to develop 665 entries for the bilingualized learners' dictionary of control engineering

First of all, we review the component-based approach for the extension of similarity measures for greyscale image to colour images. And secondly, we discuss a vector-based approach using vector morphological operators. Both approaches are compared using several experiments

In recent years, various types of equipment have become more intelligent. In this research, we propose an intelligent lighting system using visible-light communication technology for direct communication between lighting fixtures and illuminance sensors in order to provide the necessary illuminance to a desired location. We actually constructed an experiment simulator based on this concept and verified the effectiveness of the newly developed control method. Verification tests were conducted using an optimization algorithm specialized for lighting control, and the results showed that the various illuminance sensors converged to the preset target illuminance in a very short time. We also confirmed that the system can respond adaptively to the movement of illuminance sensors
