Abstract

Systems capable of recognizing and learning two-dimensional patterns can be used in imaging systems and robotic perception systems. The symbolic and neuromorphic methods for pattern processing problems of this type are complementary in character. We present a hybrid system that utilizes components of symbolic and neuromorphic type; we employ two hybrid components that simultaneously operate up on the same data to produce hypotheses about the data. To resolve the potential conflicts in these hypotheses, we propose a method that learns a combination rule based on a set of examples. We employ the method of empirical risk minimization that does not require knowledge about the error probability distributions of the modules. We are building a prototype system to recognize control panels using a vision system.

Funding

The main difficulties in building such a system arise due to (a) sensor noise, and (b) structural changes in a control panel that are legitimately allowed, e.g., sliding a handle of t Partially funded by Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology under grant #INF-90-015, the Deparlment of Energy through Oak Ridge National Laboratoryo perated by Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., under the contract #19X-SE043V, and by Old Dominion University Summer Faculty Fellowship for 1991.
