Taras K. Vintsiuk (Kyjiv, Ukraine) ² Generative Model for Pattern Computer.

Pattern computer (PatCom) is such intellectual cybernetic system that provides a functional simulation of intelligent, mainly subconscious activity of all living and a human being particularly. In PatCom this activity is related to image, sound and other patterns perception, scene analysis, action and movement planning, generalisation of observations, discovering of regularities, prediction, decision making etc. Pattern computer operates with patterns and other complex notions. It actualises both pattern and logical reasoning.

Pattern computer is a parallel system. It has several information perception channels (acoustic, visual, and scential) that is multimodal perception, pattern operation system, improved human-machine interface. Unlike usual computer, which is based on a rapid arithmetic-logical processor and a large RAM space, PatCom is grounded on external world models including physical, geometry, acoustical, language, linguistic, semantical, canonical forms etc models.

Here is a so-called generative model for how to create a pattern computer is debated. This model is based on both the generative grammar hierarchy for multimodal prototype scene composition and the comparison of them with a scene to be perceived. So a multimodal informаtion synthesis is used as a feedback in the pattern analysis and understanding. Examples are given in reference to dictation and spoken translation machine creating and scene analysis.

One of ways to construct images recognition algorithms is a generating model which eves in reproducing of images of a given class and further automatic comparing of the studied image with the generated one. A class of complex symmetric images (images-ornaments) is considered in the report. Classes of images bearing symmetric structure are widely represented in nature, science, art. The constituents as ornament, sub-ornament, rapport and elementary image. To describe the latter a language of description consisting of a number of non-derivative elements and series of single and binary operations between them. The report represents two approaches to generating symmetric images: matrix and recursive. Using the recursive scheme to groups of transformations there are recursive models for symmetric groups in space and stripe obtained. Matrix models of synthesis are based on transformations matrix performing reflection, rotation and displacing. The suggested language and algorithms of synthesis are used to construct ornaments editor.

The algorithms for high and very high size circuit’s decomposition are proposed. The Optimal Circuit Reduction method is used as a methodological basis. The method allows recognizing mutually inserted circuit’s clusters. Some algorithms for initial solution and its optimization are suggested. For initial solution as a first stage we use the Optimal Reduction Tree. Three strategies are possible next: serial, parallel-serial and dichotomous. We develop and recommend using the latter for the better quality of initial solution. During the optimization the clusters of arbitrary size are used for transferring and exchanging between partitions instead of original circuit elements. It drastically reduces the computation complexity and improves the quality of solution. To escape from the local extreme some strategies are investigated. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of developed methodology on the well-known IBM test-cases.

Костянтин Біатов, Марта Ларсон, Стефан Ейкелер (Санкт Августин, Німеччина) ² Темпоральна сегментація та класифікація аудіосигналів на основі нуль-переходів.

The task of audio classification is streamlined if the audio stream can be decomposed in real time into homogeneous segments larger than the individual frame. If segment morphology reflects the underlying audio type, classifier design and training becomes more transparent and can directly exploit real-world knowledge. The experiments presented here explore real-time zero-crossing-based audio stream segmentation and classification. We segment an unedited audio stream from a German-language radio program into three classes: speech, speaker breathing and music. Features related to modulation of the amplitude envelopes are exploited to segment the audio stream into homogeneous sub-syllable segments. The segments prove useful for classifying the audio-stream, especially the speech portions. We use features extracted from zero-crossing-based pseudo-spectrum to train a Gaussian classifier that classifies audio content into the three categories. Our results demonstrate that our zero-crossing-based segmentation and classification method is viable one, yielding satisfactory performance in real time.

Phonetic baseforms are the basic recognition units in most speech recognition systems. Linguists usually determine these baseforms once a vocabulary is chosen and not modified thereafter. However, several applications, such as name dialing require the user to be able to add new words to the vocabulary. These new words are often names or task-specific jargons that have user dependent pronunciation. In this paper, we describe a method how to generate a phonetic baseform from acoustic pronunciation of a name without a prior knowledge of the name spelling. We used a language model based on bigram statistics.

The first part of this paper proposes a formal theoretical framework for prosody description. This framework is based on empirically acquired axioms (following the linguistic structuralism) and in terms of the mathematical set theory it presents prosody as a relation between abstract sentence underlying structures and intonation (together with timing). On the basis of this framework one can utilize various system description and analysis methods as well as pattern processing techniques to model the aforementioned relation. The second part of this text introduces the application of this framework to the Czech text-to-speech system ARTIC. It uses rules to place abstract intonation schemes (melodemes and cadences) depending on the position of an intonation centre of an utterance.

Zoreslava Shpak, Jurij Rashkevych (Lviv, Ukraine) ² Spoken Elements Temporal Transformation Analysis for Temporal Spoken Messages Scaling Tasks.

In order to provide the high intelligibility and naturalness of the voice rate-change records the natural regularities of the oral speech temporal processes must be considered in the time-scale modification methods. The characteristics of the speech units (syntagmas, words, syllables, etc.) duration have been specified for different pronunciation types. Time-scale transformation regularity of the Ukrainian voice phonemes sounding at different speech rates has been investigated. Six groups of oral speech elements are determined: stressed vowels, unstressed vowels, voiced consonants, unvoiced consonants, plosive stops and word-spacing pauses. The elements of specified groups are characterized by similar temporal transformations. Non-linear analytic functions presenting the relative temporal changes of sound duration have been plotted for every group. It was established that the main spectral characteristics of voice signals, particularly, pitch and formant frequencies are practically independent of speech rates.

In practice the task of predefined kind objects selection from photos often appears. As an example of such objects the textual inscriptions are considered. As a criterion for typical features formation the geometrical sizes (external dimensions and line thickness) are used. The principles of image division on symbols and irrelevant objects are based on the supposition that in the small regions, which are directly side with symbols, brightness and contrast are close to maximum. In the paper it is shown that one of the first steps of image analysis must be background extraction, brightness, and contrast equalization along the whole of image. To accomplish above actions a number of matrix operations is introduced, namely maximum distribution, minimum distribution and region normalization. The optimized algorithm of introduced operations realization is proposed. The algorithm allows greatly reducing the computation cost. The result of image preprocessing is suitable for scene analysis and character recognition.

In this paper, we proposed novel slant detection and correction techniques, segmentation and feature extraction methods for handwritten text recognition. The segmentation and feature extraction module works on data, which is to be preprocessed.  This is necessary because of the output of the scanned document is noisy and usually contains too many unwanted impression happened due to humidity and uneven ink distribution on paper. The novel techniques are used to detection and correction of any rotation that may occur during the writing or scanning process. The slant correction algorithm then generates a non_slant image by rotating the blocks, rather then the individual pixels. The proposed segmentation algorithm will count the block pixels in horizontal lines of the binarized image and estimate the width and base line of each text line in the document.  This ensures easy to segment the document into text of sentences. Each sentence again segmented into words. Each word processed and extract the prominent feature for further classification. The proposed system based on neural network feature extraction gives promising results in terms of classification and recognition.

As it is known, the diffraction phenomena play the important role by activity of optical instruments intended for obtaining of the objects’ images. The images obtained with the help of focusing devices (of lenses), never reconstruct object with ideal accuracy. They are screwed owing to any kind of irregularities of optical systems (aberrations). But even the ideal lens, free from aberrations, cannot give the ideal image through a wave nature of light. Owing to diffraction phenomena the laws of ray optics are upset and the mapping of points of object in points of the image ceases to be projective. In terms of the theory of wave processes it means, that the image ceases to be stigmatic. Thus, there is an important task of recovery and identification of such images, which are not covered known informational geometric models.

O. M. Akhmetshin, M. H. Komarova (Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine) ² Application of the Recurrence Qantification Analysis Method to Getting an Information Characteristics of Texture Images.

The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of a recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) to the problem of texture images and stochastic signals quantitative characteristics detection. The proposed method is based on an idea of nonlinear dynamical data series analysis in the embedding phase space. The field of nonlinear dynamics is concerned with the way in which variables describing a system vary with respect to each other instead of time. In many systems, however, it is only possible to measure a single variable. The dynamics of such systems can be modelled by applying the embedding theorem. The embedding theorem is based on the concept that an observed scalar signal is a one-dimensional projection of the dynamics of the system, which are represented in many dimensions. The embedding vectors are constructed from delayed samples of the signal.

RQA is based on the computation of an Euclidean distance matrix between the rows (epoch) of an embedded matrix formed by the scalar time series at a fixed lag (time delay method). Then the recurrence plot is built according to the rule: darken that elements of the Euclidean distances matrix, which has a value less then some defined threshold. These points are called 'recurrent points'. The darkened points individuate the recurrences of the dynamical process and the plot can be considered as a global picture of the autocorrelation structure of the system. Using taken plot the five quantitative descriptors of RQA are calculated.

The technique was applied to detection quantitative characteristics and to increase sensibility of the texture images and x-ray images of the bone trabecula structure, affected with osteoporosis.

The main advantage of proposed method is independence of the technique on the statistics structure of data series, their length, presence of noise and possibility to construct mathematical model of observed data.

A new method of texture images classification is considered. The main idea of one is increasing sensitivity of new invariant features selection on base of analytical image conception. Into the bounds of new approach each analyzed texture is presented as complex image with analytical autocorrelation function. The last gives possibility for finding its magnitude and phase characteristics. In the next step obtained features are presented as rotation invariant pattern set of Zernike moments. To achieve scale and translation uniformity the regular moments of each feature image are utilized. Final classification of invariant characteristics is based on using of support vector machines. The obtained classification accuracy for 61-class data set is 99%. The considered images have difference in rotation.

The problem of a non-stationary filtration of response of a composite vibrating system on change of signal's amplitude and phase of its excitation is considered. The solution of this problem is reduced to minimization of a functional loss, which depends on system state, using a Kalman filter. As a result the control quality of piezoelectric compensation of vibrations owing of decreasing effect of transient processes is improved.

Musatenko Yu. S., Kurashov V. N. (Kyjiv, Ukraine) ² Wavelet and Karhunen-Loeve Image Transformation for Real-Time Applications.

В роботі представлений розроблений авторами програмний пакет для здійснення хвилькового (wavelet) та Карунена-Лоева(КЛ) перетворень зображень в реальному часі на персональному комп’ютері. Для хвилькового перетворення використовався відомий біортогональний фільтр 9/7, який є одним з найкращих з точки зору використання в задачах стиснення з втратами.При розробці пакету максимальна увага приділялась отриманню високої швидкодії. Для забезпечення високих швидкісних показників реалізацію перетворень було здійснено в цілих числах, з використанням технології ММХ та з спеціальною оптимізацією кешування даних. Досягнутий виграш порівняно з традиційною реалізацією є 48 разів. Отримана швидкодія тривимірного (КЛ х 2D Хвилькове) перетворення є 15 кадрів на секунду для ансамблю 16 зображень 768х768 на ПК Pentium III 1GHz. Якість відновлення зображень відповідає середньому піковому відношенню сигнал/шум ~50 дБ, що достатньо для систем стиснення зображень з втратами, де вимоги до точності відновлення, як правило, менше 40 дБ. Розроблений пакет призначений для забезпечення роботи в реальному часі системи стиснення наборів зображень, розробленої авторами раніше.

Oleh Kapshij, Bohdan Rusyn (Kyjiv, Ukraine) ² Wavelet Based Fingerprint Compression System.

The fingerprint compression task is considered. A loss compression scheme is chosen. This allows the high compression rate to be achieved. The structural scheme of the system includes: - a wavelet transformer that uses biorthogonal filters; - a uniform quantizer with dead zone; - a Lynch-Davisson entropy coder. A variable-length-to-block coding scheme is used that allows the entropy coder compression rate to be improved. The system software implementation was created and tested. The results comparison, when the entropy coder was changed to standard archiving utilities, is presented.

Compress rate improvement, based on information about distribution of values of wavelet bands after quantizer and on fingerprint image modeling, is proposed.

The images of investigated objects are the aim of observation in many areas of science and engineering. At that to improve a quality of registered images its retrieving by non-linear methods is carried out taking into account different a priori information. The most simple among other equivalent methods is the iterative non-linear method with limitations. However the direct application of this method leads to some parasitic oscillations on surface of reconstructed image when impulsive-extended objects are retrieving. The causes of given effect origin is surveyed and the path its elimination is defined in this paper. For this purpose achieving the convolution of object main component is deducted from registered image and only after that the procedure of image restoring is carrying out.

Recently the sphere of effective application of neural and neural-like networks quickly extends and covers such intensively developing areas, as signal/image processing and analysis, and images recognition. Simultaneously, the structure and organization of these networks are transformed and improved for relocation to new procedures and algorithms realization. All kinds and versions of neural and neural-like networks are detail described and classified in many references. Simultaneously, features of algorithm are correct known structures of networks. The example of algorithm implementation of numeric data sorting by the pair exchange method with a count on the neural-like networks is presented in the given work. The structure offered neural-like network represents as a version of bi-directional associative memory (BAM), which is the further development of Hopfield networks. The offered network with specific organization is named the S-network because it is oriented on performance of sorting procedure. Implementation of the S-network is supposed by optoelectronic element base.

Bohdan Rusyn, Volodymyr Ostap, Oleh Ostap (Lviv, Ukraine) ² Fingerprint Identification System Based on Spectral Features.

It is known a plenty of various fingerprint identification systems in the world but the most part from them are use recognition algorithms based on minutiae features. We had developed complete fingerprint identification system, which includes the following stages:

- fingerprint scanning;

- image preprocessing: image segmentation; local normalization; quazioptimal filtration and ridge frequency estimation; local orientation estimation; Gabor filter bank filtration; histogram transformation;

- feature extraction: singular point estimation; central area cutting; feature extraction;

- record in a database;

- recognition (identification);

In comparison with other systems, which use minutiae features (the fork, ending of ridges), in it is used a correlation recognition method which allows to carry out identification without any requirements to amount of minutiae features. In addition, for improvement of recognition accuracy, together with known methods of preprocessing we have developed and use a method of quasioptimal filtration, and improved known.
