Based on the multi-time scale and the nonlinear characteristics of the observed time series, a new hybrid model between wavelet analysis and artificial neural network (ANN): wavelet network model, has been suggested. The present model absorbs some merits of wavelet transform and artificial neural network. Case studies, the short and long term prediction of hydrological time series, have been re...

Image enhancement plays an important role in computer vision. The degraded image, blurred image and noised image effect the medical diagnosis of image data, satellite image for information retrieval. Various authors and researcher propose a method of image enhancement such as histogram equalization, multi-point histogram equalisation and some method based on neural network and wavelet threshold...

This paper describes a novel Hybrid Emotional Neural Network (HENN) for classification of emotions from Facial expressions. The novelty of this work is that along with the parameters of the feed forward neural network, i.e. the learning rate, momentum, new parameters such as anxiety and confidence is taken as emotional parameters are from Gabor Wavelet and are used to update emotional parameter...

This paper compares the emotional pattern recognition method between standard BP neural network classifier and BP neural network classifier improved by the L-M algorithm. Then we compare the method Support Vector Machine (SVM) to them. Experiment analyzes wavelet transform of surface Electromyography (EMG) to extract the maximum and minimum wavelet coefficients of multi-scale firstly. We then i...

Optical character recognition system research has been acquired howling success, but the reconstruction of layout needs fonts of the characters. In this paper, a novel font recognition algorithm is proposed, which is based on multi-scale wavelet analysis. We adopt wavelet analysis and the grid method to deal with the character image, and extract wavelet energy density feature, and apply the BP ...

In neural network the connection strength of each neuron is updated through learning. Through repeated simulations of crisp neural network, we propose the idea that for each neuron in the network, we can obtain reduced model with more efficiency using wavelet based multiresolution analysis (MRA) to form wavelet based quasi fuzzy weight sets (WBQFWS). Such type of WBQFWS provides good initial so...

In general, wavelet neural networks have a problem on the curse of dimensionality, i.e. the number of hidden units to be required are exponentially rose with increasing an input dimension. To solve the above problem, a wavelet neural network incorporating a local linear model has already been proposed. On their network design, however, the number of hidden units is empirically determined and fi...
