Abstract

A system combining the BackPropagation Network (BPN) and the Distributed Associative Memory (DAM) for 2D pattern recognition is proposed. In the system, a sequence of image processes and transformations, including complex transform, Laplacian, and Fourier transform are used for invariant feature extraction. Two modified neural networks are proposed for pattern recognition: (1) the DAM combined with BPN, and (2) the BPN improved by DAM. In the DAM combined with BPN, a fine training is provided by the BPN to take the pattern variations within each class into the training procedure. Experimental results indicate that this improved DAM has higher recognition rates compared to a traditional DAM. In the BPN improved by DAM, the weights of the first layer used the memory matrix of DAM as initial values. This network is compared with the BPN. Experimental results show that this network not only has slightly higher recognition rate, but also requires less training time than a BPN. Finally, the system is also tested with noisy patterns. According to the experiments results, it is found that the system also has high recognition rate even on the noisy images.
