Problems of coding stereo images in human memory
2010
This paper discusses the memorization and recall by man of a sequence of planar or stereoscopic images, including six frames that contain a planar strip (8×8 positions of the stimulus) or a volume strip (8×4×2 positions). At the recall stage, the subject chose between the stimulus and three distractors in each frame. It is shown that the times for recognition and recall are less for volume stimuli, while the percent of correct responses is greater for planar stimuli. For volume stimuli, the distribution of errors depends on the disparity between the target and the selected distractor. A model based on a heteroassociative neural network reproduces the error distribution for planar but not fo…
A new method for optimal synthesis of wavelet-based neural networks suitable for identification purposes
1999
Abstract This paper deals with a new method for optimal synthesis of Wavelet-Based Neural Networks (WBNN) suitable for identification purposes. The method uses a genetic algorithm (GA) combined with a steepest descent technique and least square techniques for both optimal selection of the structure of the WBNN and its training. The method is applied for designing a predictor for a chaotic temporal series
A Flexible 4G/5G Control Platform for Fingerprint-based Indoor Localization
2019
In this paper we propose a centralized SDN platform devised to control indoor femto-cells for supporting multiple network-wide optimizations and applications. In particular, we focus on an example localization application in order to enlighten the main functionalities and potentialities of the approach. First, we demonstrate that the platform can be exploited for reconfiguring some operational procedures, based on standard signalling mechanisms, at the programmable femto-cells; these procedures enable customized logics for collecting measurements reports from mobile terminals. Second, assuming that high-density devices such as smart objects are disseminated in the controlled indoor space, w…
Detecting rottenness caused by Penicillium genus fungi in citrus fruits using machine learning techniques
2012
Penicillium fungi are among the main defects that may affect the commercialization of citrus fruits. Economic losses in fruit production may become enormous if an early detection of that kind of fungi is not carried out. That early detection is usually based either on UltraViolet light carried out manually. This work presents a new approach based on hyperspectral imagery for defect segmentation. Both the physical device and the data processing (geometric corrections and band selection) are presented. Achieved results using classifiers based on Artificial Neural Networks and Decision Trees show an accuracy around 98%; it shows up the suitability of the proposed approach.
Distinguishing Onion Leaves from Weed Leaves Based on Segmentation of Color Images and a BP Neural Network
2006
A new algorithm to distinguish onion leaves from weed leaves in images is suggested. This algorithm is based on segmentation of color images and on BP neural network. It includes: discarding soil for conserving only plants in the image, color image segmentation, merging small regions by analyzing the frontier rates and the averages of color indices of the regions, at last a BP neural network is used to determine if the small regions belongs to onion leaf or not. The algorithm has been applied to many images and the correct identifiable percents for onion leaves are between 80%~ 90%.
A Multi-layer Feed Forward Neural Network Approach for Diagnosing Diabetes
2018
Diabetes is one of the worlds major health problems according to the World Health Organization. Recent surveys indicate that there is an increase in the number of diabetic patients resulting in an increase in serious complications such as heart attacks and deaths. Early diagnosis of diabetes, particularly of type 2 diabetes, is critical since it is vital for patients to get insulin treatments. However, diagnoses could be difficult especially in areas with few medical doctors. It is, therefore, a need for practical methods for the public for early detection and prevention with minimal intervention from medical professionals. A promising method for automated diagnosis is the use of artificial…
Intrusion Detection with Interpretable Rules Generated Using the Tsetlin Machine
2020
The rapid deployment in information and communication technologies and internet-based services have made anomaly based network intrusion detection ever so important for safeguarding systems from novel attack vectors. To this date, various machine learning mechanisms have been considered to build intrusion detection systems. However, achieving an acceptable level of classification accuracy while preserving the interpretability of the classification has always been a challenge. In this paper, we propose an efficient anomaly based intrusion detection mechanism based on the Tsetlin Machine (TM). We have evaluated the proposed mechanism over the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 1999 (KDD’99) …
Artificial Neural Networks in Sports: New Concepts and Approaches

Artificial neural networks are tools, which - similar to natural neural networks - can learn to recognize and classify patterns, and so can help to optimise context depending acting. These abilitie...
Efficient MLP Digital Implementation on FPGA
2005
The efficiency and the accuracy of a digital feed-forward neural networks must be optimized to obtain both high classification rate and minimum area on chip. In this paper an efficient MLP digital implementation. The key features of the hardware implementation are the virtual neuron based architecture and the use of the sinusoidal activation function for the hidden layer. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions has been evaluated developing different FPGA based neural prototypes for the High Energy Physics domain and the automatic Road Sign Recognition domain. The use of the sinusoidal activation function decreases hardware resource employment of about 32% when compared with the standar…
