PSOM+: Parametrized Self-Organizing Maps for noisy and incomplete data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an extension to the Parametrized Self-Organizing Map that allows the construction of continuous manifolds from noisy, incomplete and not necessarily gridorganized training data. All three problems are tackled by minimizing the overall smoothness of a PSOM manifold. For this, we introduce a matrix which defines a metric in the space of PSOM weights, depending only on the underlying grid layout. We demonstrate the method with several examples, including the kinematics of a PA10 robot arm.

Parametrized SOMs for Object Recognition and Pose Estimation
We present the “Parametrized Self-Organizing Map” (PSOM) as a method for 3D object recognition and pose estimation. The PSOM can be seen as a continuous extension of the standard SelfOrganizing Map which generalizes the discrete set of reference vectors to a continuous manifold. In the context of visual learning, manifolds based on PSOMs can be used to represent the appearance of various object...
متن کاملRepresenting Object Manifolds by Parametrized SOMs
The recognition and pose estimation of threedimensional objects is a challenging task that requires suitable object representations. In this paper, we propose the “Parametrized Self-Organizing Map” (PSOM) as a flexible method for the generation of appearance-based object models. A PSOM in an eigenspace can be used to extend multiple views of an object to a continuous parametrized manifold that ...
متن کاملUsing PSOMs to Learn Inverse Kinematics Through Virtual Decomposition of the Robot
We propose a technique to speed up the learning of the inverse kinematics of a robot manipulator by decomposing it into two or more virtual robot arms. Unlike previous decomposition approaches, this one does not place any requirement on the robot architecture and, thus, it is completely general. Parametrized Self-Organizing Maps (PSOM) are particularly adequate for this type of learning, and pe...
متن کاملA neural network for 3D gaze recording with binocular eye trackers
Using eye tracking for the investigation of visual attention has become increasingly popular during the last few decades. Nevertheless, only a small number of eye-tracking studies have employed three-dimensional displays, although such displays would closely resemble our natural visual environment. Besides higher cost and effort for the experimental setup, the main reason for the avoidance of t...
متن کاملThe PSOM Algorithm and Applications
Abstract: In this paper we discuss the “Parameterized Selforganizing Maps” (PSOM) as a learning method for rapidly creating high-dimensional, continuous mappings. The PSOM can be viewed as the continous generalization of the discrete topology preserving map build by Kohonen’s SOM algorithm. By making use of available topological information the PSOM shows excellent generalization capabilities f...
