CCD Neural Network Processors for Pattern Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A CCD-based processor that we call the NNC2 is presented. The NNC2 implements a fully connected 192-input, 32-output two-layer network and can be cascaded to form multilayer networks or used in parallel for additional input or output nodes. The device computes 1.92 x 109 connections/sec when clocked at 10 MHz. Network weights can be specified to six bits of accuracy and are stored on-chip in programmable digital memories. A neural network pattern recognition system using NNC2 and CCD image feature extractor (IFE) devices is described. Additionally, we report a CCD output circuit that exploits inherent nonlinearities in the charge injection process to realize an adjustable-threshold sigmoid in a chip area of 40 x 80 J.tlU2 .

Aircraft Visual Identification by Neural Networks
In the present paper, an efficient method for three dimensional aircraft pattern recognition is introduced. In this method, a set of simple area based features extracted from silhouette of aerial vehicles are used to recognize an aircraft type from its optical or infrared images taken by a CCD camera or a FLIR sensor. These images can be taken from any direction and distance relative to the fly...

متن کاملAN IMPROVED CONTROLLED CHAOTIC NEURAL NETWORK FOR PATTERN RECOGNITION
A sigmoid function is necessary for creation a chaotic neural network (CNN). In this paper, a new function for CNN is proposed that it can increase the speed of convergence. In the proposed method, we use a novel signal for controlling chaos. Both the theory analysis and computer simulation results show that the performance of CNN can be improved remarkably by using our method. By means of this...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Mahalanobis-Taguchi System and Neural Network for Multivariate Pattern Recognition
The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System is a diagnosis and predictive method for analyzing patterns in multivariate cases. The goal of this study is to compare the ability of the Mahalanobis- Taguchi System and a neural-network to discriminate using small data sets. We examine the discriminant ability as a function of data set size using an application area where reliable data is publicly available. The...
