Hardware design of two weighted neural network and application for object recognition

Abstract

In this paper, the design methodology of neural network hardware has been discussed, and two weighted neural network implemented by this method been applied for object recognition. It was pointed out that the main problem of the two weighted neural network hardware implementation lies in three aspects. At final, two weighted neural network implemented by this method is applied for object recognition, and the algorithm were presented. We did experiments on recognition of omnidirectionally oriented rigid objects on the same level, using the two weighted neural networks. Many animal and vehicle models (even with rather similar shapes) were recognized omnidirectionally thousands of times. For total 8800 tests, the correct recognition rate is 98.75%, the error rate and the rejection rate are 0.5 and 1.25% respectively. © 2005 by International Federation for Information Processing.
