摘要：A novel Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based Hidden Markov Module (HMM) for face recognition is presented in this letter. To improve the accuracy of HMM based face recognition algorithm, DWT is used to replace Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for observation sequence ex- traction. Extensive experiments are conducted on two public databases and the results show that the proposed method can improve the accuracy significantly, especially when the face database is large and only few training images are available.

摘要：A new product conceptual design approach is put forward based on Hopfield neural networks models. By research on the mechanisms of Hopfield neural networks, the associative simulation approaches are proposed. The approach is given by Hebb learn- ing law, Hopfield neural networks and crossover and mutation. The calculating models and the calculating formulas for the concep- tual design are put forward. Finally, an example for the conceptual design of a solar energy lamp is given. The better results are ob- tained in the conceptual design.

摘要：Non-rigid shape deformation without tearing or stretching is called isometry. There are many difficulties to research non-rigid shape in Euclidean space. Therefore, non-rigid shapes are firstly embedded into a none-Euclidean space. Spectral space is chosen in this paper. Then three descriptors are proposed based on three spectral distances. The existence of zero-eigenvalue has negative effects on computation of spectral distance, Therefore the spectral distance should be computed from the first non-zcro-eigenvalue. Experiments show that spectral distance distributions are very effective to describe the non-rigid shapes.
