Neural Network Course
Completed! Customer Rating – 
The May Neural Network Course was a great success! We at
NeuroDimension would like to thank all of the attendees for all their great questions and feedback on the course. We always enjoy getting to know our customers better, especially when it gives us
a chance to discuss their applications. Once again, we received excellent reviews from our attendees and have never
had anyone tell us they would not recommend our course to others.

NeuroSolutions Formula Generator
The formula generator is a small utility written in Visual
Basic 6.0 to convert NeuroSolutions weights files into an Excel/C/VBA formula.
The utility converts the weights file of a default MLP
breadboard (1-hidden layer with tanh axons) into a usable formula that can be
copied and pasted into your own programs to compute the output of the trained
neural network. The code is available along with the executable for customers
who want to modify it to work with their own weights files.

Customer Spotlight: Texture Classification – Differentiate a Leopard from its Background
|
Krishna Natarajan & Vijay Subramanian
Graduate Students, University of Florida
Fl, USA
Application area:
Texture classification
|
|
Problem Definition
The problem is to distinguish between the leopard and the background, in which it is sitting. This problem falls under the category called texture classification, which falls under the broader category of pattern classification.
Solution Approach
Sample small 5x5 pixel images from sections of the image that represent the leopard and sections that represents the background. Flatten the sampled 2D images into one-row vectors and use them as training data for a neural network.
Once the neural network has been trained, sample the entire image as 5x5 images, flatten the images and test the neural network on the flattened images.
The neural network’s response to each flattened image can now be used to determine which areas of the image represent the leopard and which areas represent the background.
