In this paper, we propose the diagnosis system that can predict pet's state of health for pet lovers lacking a technical knowledge of dog-diseases. The proposed system deduces diseases of dogs from input symptoms by our database constructed with 105 kinds of diseases and symptoms. First, a disease is clustered by ART2, the self-learning method in neural network and secondly, the result values, outputs and the weight values clustered by the algorithm are stored to database. Finally, our system diagnoses the state of health by means of comparing the learned information of diseases with the input vectors of each symptom and the related results of questions on diseases. The correct information of diseases and symptom diagnosing is important to predict the state of health of dogs. Therefore, in this paper, the proposed system can manage symptoms and diseases efficiently by database and ART2. We ask veterinary specialist with the efficiency of our system. As a result, we could confirm the possibility as the auxiliary diagnosis system for dog diseases.

In this paper, we propose a new method of recognizing the vehicle license plate using color space, morphological characteristics and ART2 algorithm. Morphological characteristics of old and/or new style vehicle license plate among the candidate regions are applied to remove noise areas using 8-directional contour tracking algorithm, then follow by the extraction of vehicle plate. From the extracted license plate area, plate morphological characteristics of each region are removed. After that, labeling algorithm to extract the individual characters are then combined. The classified individual character and numeric codes are applied to the ART2 algorithm for the learning and recognition. In order to evaluate the performance of our proposed extraction and recognition of vehicle license method, we have run experiments on 100 green plates and white plates. Experimental results shown that the proposed license plate extraction and recognition method was effective.

In this paper, we have proposed a self disease diagnosis system for ordinary persons to help the decision of access methods to a specialized medical management, and for medical specialities to discover new diseases and their symptoms easily, using verification of an individual#s health status by a series of processes performed by oneself. In the proposed self disease diagnosis system, illness is decided by 60 kinds of diseases selected using the report called #Diseases that Koreans take seriously# published by Ministry of Health & Welfare and medical contents called #Engel Pharm#, and also using 161 representative symptoms for the 60 kinds of diseases. An individual#s health information is extracted by diagnosis of one#s health status by a clustering of the 60 kinds of diseases using enhanced ART2 algorithm and input vectors from the results of questions for symptoms of each disease.

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive intrusion detection algorithm based on clustering: Kernel-ART, which is composed of the on-line clustering algorithm, ART (adaptive resonance theory), combining with mercer-kernel and concept vector. Kernel-ART is not only satisfying all desirable characteristics in the context of clustering-based IDS but also alleviating drawbacks associated with the supervised learning IDS. It is able to detect various types of intrusions in real-time by means of generating clusters incrementally.

퍼지 ART 알고리즘에서 경계 변수는 패턴들을 클러스터링하는데 있어서 반지름 값이 되며 임의의 패턴과 저장된 패턴과의 불일치(mismatch) 허용도를 결정한다. 이 경계 변수가 크면 입력 벡터와 기대 벡터 사이에 약간의 차이가 있어도 새로운 카테고리(category)로 분류하게 핀다. 반대로 경계 변수가 작으면 입력 벡터와 기대 벡터 사이에 많은 차이가 있더라도 유사성이 인정되어 입력 벡터들을 대략적으로 분류한다. 따라서 영상 인식에 적용하기 위해서는 경험적으로 경계 변수를 설정해야 단점이 있다. 그리고 연결 가중치를 조정하는 과정에서 저장된 패턴들의 정보들이 손실되는 경우가 발생하여 인식율을 저하시킨다. 된 논문에서는 퍼지 ART 알고리즘의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 퍼지 논리 접속 연산자를 이용하여 경계 변수를 동적으로 조정하고 저장 패턴들과 학습 패턴간의 실제적인 왜곡 정도를 충분히 고려하여 승자 노드로 선택된 빈도수를 가중치 조정에 적용한 개선된 퍼지 ART 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 실제 운송 컨테이너 영상들을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 ART2 알고리즘이나 퍼지 ART 알고리즘보다 클러스터의 수가 적게 생성되었고 인식 성능도 기존의 방법들보다 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes the intelligent immigration control system that authorizes the traveler through immigration and detects forged passports by using automatic recognition of passport codes, the passport photo and face verification. The proposed system extracts and deskewes the areas of passport codes from the passport image. This paper proposes the novel ART algorithm creating the adaptive clusters to the variations of input patterns and it is applied to the extracted code areas for the code recognition. After compensating heuristically the recognition result, the detection of forged passports is achieved by using the picture and face verification between the passport photo extracted from the passport image and the picture retrieved from the database based on the recognized codes. Due to the proposed ART algorithm and the heuristic refinement, the proposed system relatively shows better performance.

This paper proposes content-based image retrieval system with fuzzy ART neural network algorithm. Retrieving large database of image data, the clustering is essential for fast retrieval. However, it is difficult to cluster huge image data pertinently, Because current retrieval methods using similarities have several problems like low accuracy of retrieving and long retrieval time, a solution is necessary to complement these problems. This paper presents a content-based image retrieval system with neural network in order to reinforce abovementioned problems. The retrieval system using fuzzy ART algorithm normalizes color and texture as feature values of input data between 0 and 1, and then it runs after clustering the input data. The implemental result with 300 image data shows retrieval accuracy of approximately 87%.

In this paper, we propose an improved fuzzy RBF network which dynamically adjusts the rate of learning by applying the Delta-bar-Delta algorithm in order to improve the learning performance of fuzzy RBF networks. The proposed learning algorithm, which combines the fuzzy C-Means algorithm with the generalized delta learning method, improves its learning performance by dynamically adjusting the rate of learning. The adjustment of the learning rate is achieved by self-generating middle-layered nodes and by applying the Delta-bar-Delta algorithm to the generalized delta learning method for the learning of middle and output layers. To evaluate the learning performance of the proposed RBF network, we used 40 identifiers extracted from a container image as the training data. Our experimental results show that the proposed method consumes less training time and improves the convergence of teaming, compared to the conventional ART2-based RBF network and fuzzy RBF network.

ART2 알고리즘은 신경 회로망 모델로서 실시간 학습이 가능하여 저속 및 고속을 지원할 뿐만 아니라 지역 최소화(local minima) 문제가 발생하지 않는 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 ART2 알고리즘은 경계 변수 설정에 따라 클러스터의 수가 달라지며, 이러한 경계 변수 설정은 패턴의 분류와 인식 성능을 좌우한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ART2 알고리즘에서 효율적으로 경계 변수를 설정하기 위해 패턴셋 설정을 통한 경계 변수 설정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 경계 변수 설정 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 숫자 및 영문 패턴을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 패턴 분류의 성능이 기존의 방식 보다 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 비파괴 검사를 통하여 얻은 세라믹 영상에 퍼지 기법과 ART2 기법을 적용하여 결함을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 세라믹 소재로 얻어진 영상에서 결함의 구간을 설정하기 위해 퍼지 스트레칭 기법을 적용하여 명암도를 대비시킨다. 명암 대비가 강조된 영상에서 퍼지 이진화 기법을 적용한 후, 상/하 경계선에 가장 많이 분포된 곳을 Max, Min으로 설정하고, Max+20, Min-20을 결함 구간으로 설정한다. 설정한 결함 구간 내의 비파괴 세라믹 영상에서 ART2 알고리즘 기법을 적용하여 세라믹 영상의 결함을 검출한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 비파괴 세라믹 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 세라믹 결함 검출 방법보다 비파괴 세라믹 영상에서 다양한 형태의 결함이 검출되는 것을 확인하였다.
