Conic section function neural network circuitry for offline signature recognition.
In this brief, conic section function neural network (CSFNN) circuitry was designed for offline signature recognition. CSFNN is a unified framework for multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) networks to make simultaneous use of advantages of both. The CSFNN circuitry architecture was developed using a mixed mode circuit implementation. The designed circuit system is problem independent. Hence, the general purpose neural network circuit system could be applied to various pattern recognition problems with different network sizes on condition with the maximum network size of 16-16-8. In this brief, CSFNN circuitry system has been applied to two different signature recognition problems. CSFNN circuitry was trained with chip-in-the-loop learning technique in order to compensate typical analog process variations. CSFNN hardware achieved highly comparable computational performances with CSFNN software for nonlinear signature recognition problems.
