چکیده

This paper documents experiments which have been carried out with several neural network systems designed to categorise pedestrian shapes from non-pedestrian shapes. Active Contour models (‘Snakes’) [1] have been used to obtain contours of pedestrians as they move around the visual field. Neural networks have then been trained on representations of these relaxed snakes. The neural network systems developed can successfully discriminate these contours based upon whether they are ‘pedestrian’ in shape or not. Results are presented along with a discussion of some of the system’s possible applications.

Effect of sound classification by neural networks in the recognition of human hearing

In this paper, we focus on two basic issues: (a) the classification of sound by neural networks based on frequency and sound intensity parameters (b) evaluating the health of different human ears as compared to of those a healthy person. Sound classification by a specific feed forward neural network with two inputs as frequency and sound intensity and two hidden layers is proposed. This process...

Hand Gesture Recognition from RGB-D Data using 2D and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks: a comparative study

Despite considerable enhances in recognizing hand gestures from still images, there are still many challenges in the classification of hand gestures in videos. The latter comes with more challenges, including higher computational complexity and arduous task of representing temporal features. Hand movement dynamics, represented by temporal features, have to be extracted by analyzing the total fr...

Detecting Partial Occlusion of Humans Using Snakes and Neural Networks

Abstract: This paper summarises the development of a computer system designed to detect moving humans in an image or series of images. The system combines the use of active contour models, ‘snakes’, which detect human objects in an image, with a 2 layer feedforward backpropagation neural network, to categorise the detected shape as human, or not. It was found that combining the neural network’s...

Persian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods

Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...
