Pattern recognition techniques such as artificial neural networks continue to offer potential solutions to many of the existing problems associated with freeway incident-detection algorithms. This study focuses on the application of Fuzzy ART neural networks to incident detection on freeways. Unlike back-propagation models, Fuzzy ART is capable of fast, stable learning of recognition categories. It is an incremental approach that has the potential for on-line implementation. Fuzzy ART is trained with traffic patterns that are represented by 30-s loop-detector data of occupancy, speed, or a combination of both. Traffic patterns observed at the incident time and location are mapped to a group of categories. Each incident category maps incidents with similar traffic pattern characteristics, which are affected by the type and severity of the incident and the prevailing traffic conditions. Detection rate and false alarm rate are used to measure the performance of the Fuzzy ART algorithm. To reduce the false alarm rate that results from occasional misclassification of traffic patterns, a persistence time period of 3 min was arbitrarily selected. The algorithm performance improves when the temporal size of traffic patterns increases from one to two 30-s periods for all traffic parameters. An interesting finding is that the speed patterns produced better results than did the occupancy patterns. However, when combined, occupancy–speed patterns produced the best results. When compared with California algorithms 7 and 8, the Fuzzy ART model produced better performance.

This paper proposes a feature recognition approach from a boundary representation solid model with Fuzzy ART neural network. To recognize the feature efficiently, some key technologies in Fuzzy ART neural network are used. The influence of the vigilance parameter on feature recognition is studied, and two learning modes, fast learning and slow learning are adopted and compared in feature recognition. Finally, a case study is given to verify the proposed approach.

The pointer instrument has the advantages of being simple, reliable, stable, easy to maintain, having strong anti-interference properties, and so on, which has long occupied the main position of electrical and electric instruments. Though the pointer instrument structure is simple, it is not convenient for real-time reading of measurements. In this paper, a RK3399 microcomputer was used for real-time intelligent reading of a pointer instrument using a camera. Firstly, a histogram normalization transform algorithm was used to optimize the brightness and enhance the contrast of images; then, the feature recognition algorithm You Only Look Once 3rd (YOLOv3) was used to detect and capture the panel area in images; and Convolutional Neural Networks were used to read and predict the characteristic images. Finally, predicted results were uploaded to a server. The system realized automatic identification, numerical reading, an intelligent online reading of pointer data, which has high feasibility and practical value. The experimental results show that the recognition rate of this system was 98.71% and the reading accuracy was 97.42%. What is more, the system can accurately locate the pointer-type instrument area and read corresponding values with simple operating conditions. This achievement meets the demand of real-time readings for analog instruments.

AbstractFeature technology is considered an essential tool for integrating design and manufacturing. Automatic feature recognition (AFR) has provided the greatest contribution to fully automated computer-aided process planning system development. The objective of this paper is to review approaches based on application of artificial neural networks for solving major AFR problems. The analysis presented in this paper shows which approaches are suitable for different individual applications and how far away we are from the formation of a general AFR algorithm.
