A digital character recognition method is presented based on BP Neural Network. This paper preprocesses the digital character image and extracts character feature, then uses BP Neural Network to recognize digital character. Back Propagation algorithm seeks network weights to minimize training error in the solution space. A network with hidden layer is created at first, then an input sample vector is sent to network input terminal and the square error E between output values and training sample object output values is calculated. Above process is repeated for input samples of training sets until the error is reduced within the limits of the threshold. The results show that the method presented has good accuracy, quick speed and strong robustness for realtime application.

This article reports the use of BP neural network for evaluation of the appearance of garment after dry wash. The selected data about parameters of fabrics and interlinings are analyzed by principal analysis and eight principal components are obtained through this method. A BP neural network with a single hidden layer is constructed including eight input nodes, six hidden nodes and one output nodes. During training the network with a back-propagation algorithm, the eight principal components are used as input parameters, while the rate of the appearance of the garment are used as output parameters. The weight values are modified with momentum and learning rate self-adaptation to solve the two defects of the BP network. All original data are preprocessed and the learning process is successful in achieving a global error minimum. The rate of the appearance can be evaluated with this training network and there is a good agreement between the evaluated and tested values.

Precision improvement in sheet metal stamping has been the concern that the stamping researchers have engaged in. In order to improve the forming precision of sheet metal in stamping, this paper devoted to establish the generalized holo-factors mathematical model of dimension-error and shape-error for sheet metal in stamping based on BP neural network. Factors influencing the forming precision of stamping sheet metal were divided, altogether ten factors, and the generalized holo-factors mathematical model of dimension-error and shape-error for sheet metal in stamping was established using the back-propagation algorithm of error based on BP neural network. The undetermined coefficients of the model previously established were soluble according to the simulation data of sheet punching combined with the specific shape based on the BP neural network. With this mathematical model, the forecast data compared with the validate data could be obtained, so as to verify the fine practicability that the previously established mathematical model had, and then, it was shown that the generalized holo-factors mathematical model of size error and shape-error had fine practicality and versatility. Based on the generalized holo-factors mathematical model of error exemplified by the cylindrical parts, a group of process parameters could be selected, in which forming thickness was between 0.713 mm and 1.335 mm, major strain was between 0.085 and 0.519, and minor strain was between −0.596 and 0.319 from the generalized holo-factors mathematical model prediction, at the same time, the forming thickness, the major strain, and the minor strain were in good condition.

The quantity of pesticides usage in the field increases every year, which in turn affects the nutrients present in the crop. These pesticides also cause water contamination, air pollution, serious health problems in humans and finally making the soil infertile. Necessary action has to be taken to protect the environment and crops from chemicals. A well-established automatic acoustic detection of pest for early pest detection is suggested in this paper. Acoustic identification technique of signal analysis is extensively implemented in agriculture to give maximum protection of crops, ultimately resulting in better production. Successful eradication of pest lies in identification of pest without damaging the nutrients and crops. The proposed technique detects the presence of pests in the initial stage. The sounds of different pests which are dreadfully affecting the agricultural crops are collected. The signals of pests are analyzed in time domain and frequency domain specifications. The features of different pests are extracted using Mat lab programming. The various statistical features of pest are trained and given to the hidden layer of neural network where it automatically classifies the pest indicating the presence of pest. The Back-Propagation algorithm is used for training the samples. When the identification of pest has been done, the pest can be killed by the microwave shock rather than applying highly toxic chemicals. This technique also benefits the farmer by avoiding contact with the pesticides. Direct contact with the pesticides sometimes causes skin cancer to farmers. The technique suggested in this paper is harmless to the farmers and crops, hence increases the production.

The contamination of tea with toxic pesticides is a major concern. Additionally, because of improved detection methods, importers are increasingly rejecting contaminated teas. Here, we describe an electronic nose technique for the rapid detection of pyrethroid pesticides (cyhalothrin, bifenthrin, and fenpropathrin) in tea. Using a PEN 3 electronic nose, the text screened a group of metal oxide sensors and determined that four of them (W5S, W1S, W1W, and W2W) are suitable for the detection of the same pyrethroid pesticide in different concentrations and five of them (W5S, W1S, W1W, W2W, and W2S) are suitable for the detection of pyrethroid pesticide. The models for the determination of cyhalothrin, bifenthrin, and fenpropathrin are established by PLS method. Next, using back propagation (BP) neural network technology, we developed a three-hidden-layer model and a two-hidden-layer model to differentiate among the three pesticides. The accuracy of the three models is 96%, 92%, and 88%, respectively. The recognition accuracies of the three-hidden-layer BP neural network pattern and two-hidden-layer BP neural network pattern are 98.75% and 97.08%, respectively. Our electronic nose system accurately detected and quantified pyrethroid pesticides in tea leaves. We propose that this tool is now ready for practical application in the tea industry.

Simultaneaous spectrophotometric determination of clorsulon (CLO) and invermectin (IVE) in commercial veterinary formulation was performed by using the artificial neural network (ANN) based on the back propagation algorithm. In order to find the optimal ANN model various topogical networks were tested by using different hidden layers. A logsig input layer, a hidden layer of neurons using the logsig transfer function and an output layer of two neurons with purelin transfer function was found suitable for basic configuration for ANN model. A calibration set consisting of CLO and IVE in calibration set was prepared in the concentration range of 1-23 �g/mL and 1-14 �g/mL, repectively. This calibration set contains 36 different synthetic mixtures. A prediction set was prepared in order to evaluate the recovery of the investigated approach ANN chemometric calibration was applied to the simultaneous analysis of CLO and IVE in compounds in a commercial veterinary formulation. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is appropriate for the routine quality control of the above mentioned active compounds.

Abstract An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the drape coefficient (DC). Hanging weight, Sample diameter and the bending rigidities in warp, weft and skew directions are selected as inputs of the ANN model. The ANN developed is a multilayer perceptron using a back-propagation algorithm with one hidden layer. The drape coefficient is measured by a Cusick drape meter. Bending rigidities in different directions were calculated according to the Cantilever method. The DC obtained results show a good correlation between the experimental and the estimated ANN values. The results prove a significant relationship between the ANN inputs and the drape coefficient. The algorithm developed can easily predict the drape coefficient of fabrics at different diameters.

Electrochemical abrasive belt grinding (ECABG) technology, which has the advantage over conventional stone super-finishing, has been applied in bearing raceway super-finishing. However, the finishing effect of ECABG is dominated by many factors, which relationship is so complicated that appears non-linear behavior. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the finishing results and select the processing parameters in ECABG. In this paper, Back-Propagation (BP) neural network is proposed to solve this problem. The non-linear relationship of machining parameters was established based on the experimental data by applying one-hidden layer BP neural networks. The comparison between the calculated results of the BP neural network and experimental results under the corresponding conditions was carried out, and the results indicates that it is feasible to apply BP neural network in determining the processing parameters and forecasting the surface quality effects in ECABG.
