This chapter introduces neural networks for Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems. It presents a critical literature review of both the traditional and neural network based techniques that are used in retrieving the images based on their content. It shows how neural networks and fuzzy logic can be used in interpretation of queries, feature extraction and classification of features by describing a detailed research methodology. It investigates a neural network based technique in conjunction with fuzzy logic to improve the overall performance of the CBIR systems. The results of the investigation on a benchmark database with a comparative analysis are presented in this chapter. The methodologies and results presented in this chapter will allow researchers to improve and compare their methods and it will also allow system developers to understand and implement the neural network and fuzzy logic based techniques for content based image retrieval.

Artificial neural networks were constructed for the classification of metal alloys based on their elemental constituents. Glow discharge-atomic emission spectra obtained with a photodiode array spectrometer were used in multivariate calibrations for 7 elements in 37 Ni-based alloys (different types) and 15 Fe-based alloys. Subsets of the two major classes formed calibration sets for stepwise multiple linear regression. The remaining samples were used to validate the calibration models. Reference data from the calibration sets were then pooled into a single set to train neural networks with different architectures and different training parameters. After the neural networks learned to discriminate correctly among alloy classes in the training set, their ability to classify samples in the testing set was measured. In general, the neural network approach performed slightly better than the K-nearest neighbor method, but it suffered from a hidden classification mechanism and nonunique solutions. The neural network methodology is discussed and compared with conventional sample-classification techniques, and multivariate calibration of glow discharge spectra is compared with conventional univariate calibration.

This chapter presents neural network-based techniques for the classification of micro-calcification patterns in digital mammograms. Artificial neural network (ANN) applications in digital mammography are mainly focused on feature extraction, feature selection, and classification of micro-calcification patterns into ‘benign’ and ‘malignant’. An extensive review of neural network based techniques in digital mammography is presented. Recent developments such as auto-associators and evolutionary neural networks for feature extraction and selection are presented. Experimental results using ANN techniques on a benchmark database are described and analysed. Finally, a comparison of various neural network-based techniques is presented.

A pumping station control system is considered using a controller based on a fuzzy logic neural network. The simulation of the classical and fuzzy regulators. The possibility of the implementation of the controller in the form of an adaptive multilayer neural network is shown. The use of the theory of fuzzy sets in combination with the theory of neural networks to create a fuzzy-neural regulator to control pumping units provides a promising approach. Simulation modeling and real operation have shown that fuzzy-logic regulators have a number of advantages over classical regulators, which allow the use of form and limitations. Using the neural network model allows you to add the properties of adaptability and learning. The fuzzy-neural controller for controlling pumping units is promising in terms of efficiency and safety by controlling pumping stations.

The correctness rate of classification of neural networks is improved by deep learning, which is machine learning of neural networks, and its accuracy is higher than the human brain in some fields. This paper proposes the hybrid system of the neural network and the Learning Classifier System (LCS). LCS is evolutionary rule-based machine learning using reinforcement learning. To increase the correctness rate of classification, we combine the neural network and the LCS. This paper conducted benchmark experiments to verify the proposed system. The experiment revealed that: 1) the correctness rate of classification of the proposed system is higher than the conventional LCS (XCSR) and normal neural network; and 2) the covering mechanism of XCSR raises the correctness rate of proposed system.

A method for controlling the tightening operation of bolts using an impact wrench is proposed, where the neural network is employed for achieving proper clamping force. The characteristics of the clamping force depend on the kind of work to which bolts are tightened, thus a neural network is used for classification of the work. The clamping force, which can only be measured during the test run, is estimated online, using another neural network. Then appropriate input to the actuator of the impact wrench is determined, based on the estimated value of the clamping force.

Neural networks are commonly recognized tools for the classification of multidimensional data obtained in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Their configuration for a given scenario is, however, a challenging task, which limits the possibilities of their practical applications. In this article the authors propose using the neural network ensemble approach for the classification of SHM data generated by guided wave sensor networks. The overproduce and choose strategy is used for designing ensembles containing different types and sizes of neural networks. The proposed method allows for a significant increase of the state assessment reliability, which is illustrated by the results obtained from the practical industrial case of a full-scale aircraft test. The method is verified in the process of detecting fatigue cracks propagating in the aircraft load-carrying structure. The long-term experiments are performed in variable environmental conditions with a net of structure-embedded piezoelectric sensors.

Abstract. This study discusses the problem of phytoplankton classification using computer vision methods and convolutional neural networks. We created a system for automatic object recognition consisting of two parts: analysis and primary processing of phytoplankton images and development of the neural network based on the obtained information about the images. We developed software that can detect particular objects in images from a light microscope. We trained a convolutional neural network in transfer learning and determined optimal parameters of this neural network and the optimal size of using dataset. To increase accuracy for these groups of classes, we created three neural networks with the same structure. The obtained accuracy in the classification of Baikal phytoplankton by these neural networks was up to 80%.

Neural networks play a significant role in data classification. Complex-valued Hopfield Neural Network (CHNN) is mostly used in various fields including the image classification. Though CHNN has proven its credibility in the classification task, it has a few issues. Activation function of complex-valued neuron maps to a unit circle in the complex plane affecting the resolution factor, flexibility and compatibility to changes, during adaptation in retrieval systems. The proposed work demonstrates Content-Based Image Retrieval System (CBIR) with Hyperbolic Hopfield Neural Networks (HHNN), an analogue of CHNN for classifying images. Activation function of the Hyperbolic neuron is not cyclic in hyperbolic plane. The images are mathematically represented and indexed using the six basic features. The proposed HHNN classifier is trained, tested and evaluated through extensive experiments considering individual features and four combined features for indexing. The obtained results prove that HHNN guides retrieval process, enhances system performance and minimizes the cost of implementing Neural Network Classifier-based image retrieval system.

Artificial Neural Network techniques are applied to the classification of faint objects, detected in digital astronomical images, and a Bayesian classifier (the neural network classifier, NNC hereafter) is proposed. This classifier can be implemented using a feedforward multilayered neural network trained by the back-propagation procedure (Werbos 1974).
