Pattern - Theoretic Foundations of Automatic Target Recognition

Pattern-Theoretic Foundations of Automatic Target Recognition in Clutter

This effort advanced the art of applying Grenander’s pattern theory to automatic target recognition (ATR) problems. We extended jump-diffusion ATR algorithms to accommodate unknown infrared camera calibration effects and include more stable diffusion procedures for pose refinement, and developed flexible shape models to accommodate clutter. We also developed performance bounds on estimation and...

Pattern-theoretic automatic target recognition for infrared and laser radar data

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns

Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...

The Effectiveness of the Automatic System of Fuzzy Logic-Based Technical Patterns Recognition: Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange

The present research proposes an automatic system based on moving average (MA) and fuzzy logic to recognize technical analysis patterns including head and shoulder patterns, triangle patterns and broadening patterns in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The automatic system was used on 38 indicators of Tehran Stock Exchange within the period 2014-2017 in order to evaluate the effectiveness of technical...

Analysis of motor fan radiated sound and vibration waveform by automatic pattern recognition technique using “Mahalanobis distance”

In recent years, as the weight of IT equipment has been reduced, the demand for motor fans for cooling the interior of electronic equipment is on the rise. Sensory test technique by inspectors is the mainstream for quality inspection of motor fans in the field. This sensory test requires a lot of experience to accurately diagnose differences in subtle sounds (sound pressures) of the fans, and t...
