This paper describes an on-line recognition system for free-format handwritten Japanese character strings which may contain characters with separated constituents or overlapping characters. The recognition method for the system, called candidate lattice method, conducts segmentation and recognition of individual character candidates, and applies linguistic information to determine the most probable character string in order to achieve high recognition rates. Special hardware designed to realize a real-time recognition system is also introduced. The method used on the special hardware attained a segmentation rate of 98.8% and an overall recognition rate of 98.7% for 105 samples.

Activity Recognition (AR) is an active research topic focused on detecting human actions and behaviours in smart environments. In this work, we present the on-line activity recognition platform DOLARS (Distributed On-line Activity Recognition System) where data from heterogeneous sensors are evaluated in real time, including binary, wearable and location sensors. Different descriptors and metrics from the heterogeneous sensor data are integrated in a common feature vector whose extraction is developed by a sliding window approach under real-time conditions. DOLARS provides a distributed architecture where: (i) stages for processing data in AR are deployed in distributed nodes, (ii) temporal cache modules compute metrics which aggregate sensor data for computing feature vectors in an efficient way; (iii) publish-subscribe models are integrated both to spread data from sensors and orchestrate the nodes (communication and replication) for computing AR and (iv) machine learning algorithms are used to classify and recognize the activities. A successful case study of daily activities recognition developed in the Smart Lab of The University of Almería (UAL) is presented in this paper. Results present an encouraging performance in recognition of sequences of activities and show the need for distributed architectures to achieve real time recognition.

Processing Platform

The capability of recognizing human facial expression plays an important role in advanced human-robot interaction development. Through recognizing facial expressions, a robot can interact with a user in a more natural and friendly manner. In this paper, we proposed a facial expression recognition system based on an embedded image processing platform to classify different facial expressions on-line in real time. A low-cost embedded vision system has been designed and realized for robotic applications using a CMOS image sensor and digital signal processor (DSP). The current design acquires thirty 640x480 image frames per second (30 fps). The proposed emotion recognition algorithm has been successfully implemented on the real-time vision system. Experimental results on a pet robot show that the robot can interact with a person in a responding manner. The developed image processing platform is effective for accelerating the recognition speed to 25 recognitions per second with an average on-line recognition rate of 74.4% for five facial expressions.

This paper proposes two algorithms for maintaining matching between lines and characters in text documents output by multiple commercial optical character readers (OCRs). (1) a line matching algorithm using dynamic programming (DP) matching and (2) a character matching algorithm using character string division and standard character strings. The paper proposes a method that introduces majority logic and reject processing in character recognition. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, we conducted experiments on line matching recognition for 127 document images using five commercial OCRs. Results demonstrated that the method extracted character areas with more accuracy than a single OCR along with appropriate line matching. The proposed method enhanced recognition from 97.61% provided by a single OCR to 98.83% in experiments using the character matching algorithm and character recognition. This method is expected to be highly useful in correcting locations at which unwanted lines or characters occur or required lines or characters disappear.

In this paper, a complete fault-tolerant check recognition system is proposed which has no check substitution error under the secret code verification. The fault-tolerant recognition method proposed in this paper creates all possible candidates for verification under the limited fault-tolerant rate, and with three classifiers of high isolated digit recognition rate, the system can always find out the correct recognition results of checks if there exist the correct labels of all the digits. Since the three classifiers are designed independently by different methods and they extract different features of handwritten digits, they can compensate each other when confusing digits are met. The segmentation stage combines the three most popular strategies, and gives out a way for segmenting unconstrained handwritten numeral strings on Chinese checks.

Music File

Traditional optical music recognition (OMR) is an important technology that automatically recognizes scanned paper music sheets. In this study, traditional OMR is combined with robotics, and a real-time OMR system for a dulcimer musical robot is proposed. This system gives the musical robot a stronger ability to perceive and understand music. The proposed OMR system can read music scores, and the recognized information is converted into a standard electronic music file for the dulcimer musical robot, thus achieving real-time performance. During the recognition steps, we treat note groups and isolated notes separately. Specially structured note groups are identified by primitive decomposition and structural analysis. The note groups are decomposed into three fundamental elements: note stem, note head, and note beams. Isolated music symbols are recognized based on shape model descriptors. We conduct tests on real pictures taken live by a camera. The tests show that the proposed method has a higher recognition rate.

Real-time human intent recognition is important for controlling low-limb wearable robots. In this paper, to achieve continuous and precise recognition results on different terrains, we propose a real-time training and recognition method for six locomotion modes including standing, level ground walking, ramp ascending, ramp descending, stair ascending and stair descending. A locomotion recognition system is designed for the real-time recognition purpose with an embedded BPNN-based algorithm. A wearable powered orthosis integrated with this system and two inertial measurement units is used as the experimental setup to evaluate the performance of the designed method while providing hip assistance. Experiments including on-board training and real-time recognition parts are carried out on three able-bodied subjects. The overall recognition accuracies of six locomotion modes based on subject-dependent models are 98.43% and 98.03% respectively, with the wearable orthosis in two different assistance strategies. The cost time of recognition decision delivered to the orthosis is about 0.9[Formula: see text]ms. Experimental results show an effective and promising performance of the proposed method to realize real-time training and recognition for future control of low-limb wearable robots assisting users on different terrains.

This article uses Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as a carrier and uses IP core to form a System on Programmable Chip (SOPC) English speech recognition system. The SOPC system uses a modular hardware system design method. Except for the independent development of the hardware acceleration module and its control module, the other modules are implemented by software or IP provided by Xilinx development tools. Hardware acceleration IP adopts a top-down design method, provides parallel operation of multiple operation components, and uses pipeline technology, which speeds up data operation, so that only one operation cycle is required to obtain an operation result. In terms of recognition algorithm, a more effective training algorithm is proposed, Genetic Continuous Hidden Markov Model (GA_CHMM), which uses genetic algorithm to directly train CHMM model. It is to find the optimal model by encoding the parameter values of the CHMM and performing operations such as selection, crossover, and mutation according to the fitness function. The optimal parameter value after decoding corresponds to the CHMM model, and then the English speech recognition is performed through the CHMM algorithm. This algorithm can save a lot of training time, thereby improving the recognition rate and speed. This paper studies the optimization of embedded system software. By studying the fixed-point software algorithm and the optimization of system storage space, the real-time response speed of the system has been reduced from about 10 seconds to an average of 220 milliseconds. Through the optimization of the CHMM algorithm, the real-time performance of the system is improved again, and the average time to complete the recognition is significantly shortened. At the same time, the system can achieve a recognition rate of over 90% when the English speech vocabulary is less than 200.

Semg Signals

In recent years, surface electromyography (sEMG) signals have been increasingly used in pattern recognition and rehabilitation. In this paper, a real-time hand gesture recognition model using sEMG is proposed. We use an armband to acquire sEMG signals and apply a sliding window approach to segment the data in extracting features. A feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) is founded and trained by the training dataset. A test method is used in which the gesture will be recognized when recognized label times reach the threshold of activation times by the ANN classifier. In the experiment, we collected real sEMG data from twelve subjects and used a set of five gestures from each subject to evaluate our model, with an average recognition rate of 98.7% and an average response time of 227.76 ms, which is only one-third of the gesture time. Therefore, the pattern recognition system might be able to recognize a gesture before the gesture is completed.
