Force Classification

1.9K
Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Character recognition is vital for numerous applications, with deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), showing significant advancements.
  • CNNs remain the state-of-the-art for image classification tasks, including character recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel, simple, full-depth stacked CNN architecture for recognizing Latin and Arabic handwritten alphanumeric characters.
  • To adapt and evaluate this architecture for license plate (LP) character recognition.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed architecture comprises four convolutional layers, two max-pooling layers, and one fully connected layer.
  • The model was tested on diverse datasets including handwritten characters (MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, MAHDB, AHCD, AIA9K) and license plate characters (real-world isolated characters from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Europe, USA, UAE, KSA).

Main Results:

  • The CNN architecture demonstrated high accuracy across multiple datasets, achieving error rates as low as 0.28% for MNIST and 0.26% for Saudi license plates.
  • Excellent performance was observed on various handwritten and license plate character datasets, indicating the model's robustness and effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CNN architecture is low-complex, fast, reliable, and achieves high classification accuracy.
  • This approach shows potential to advance the field of character recognition by offering a balance of low complexity, high accuracy, and comprehensive feature extraction.
