However, these are no sufficient number of works on Thai CLP. The existing works on Thai CLP have been focused on localization, extraction, and partial recognition (only for upper line) of the license plate. Generally, Thai CLP has 2 lines (upper and lower). The upper line presents character category in 2-position formatted, following by running number (up to 4 digits). The lower line presents province name. Recognition of the lower line is a difficult task because Thai words can be composed of 4 levels (top level, above level, base line and below level). Hence, appearance of noises in the original image easily causes misrecognition. This paper presents an approach to recognize off-line entire Thai CLP using Hausdorff distance technique (HD) for similarity measurement. The recognition rate obtained by the proposed method is 92%","PeriodicalId":294694,"journal":{"name":"17th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI'05)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125870262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a new framework called PLCA, which provides a symbolic representation for the figure in two-dimensional plane, that focuses on the connections between regions. It is based on the simple objects: points(P), lines(L), circuit s(C) and areas(A). The entire figure is represented as a combination of these objects. Pairs of areas, circuits or lines never cross. The simple, clear data structure based on objects makes the system easy to implement and feasible. For a figure that consists of a set of regions in two-dimensional plane, there exists a corresponding consistent PLCA expression. For a consistent PLCA expression, there is a unique figure in two-dimensional plane in the sense of connection pattern, if there exists. Topological reasoning can be performed on a PLCA expression, such as judging the connection patterns of areas. We define the operations of area integration and area division on a PLCA expression. These operations preserve the consistency of the expression, and they correspond to the real actions on figures. We can add attributes to each object, such as the properties that hold on an area or that an object stands for, and make an attributed PLCA. The operations of area integration/division on an attributed PLCA corresponds to the alteration of the classification level of objects.

Our aim is to extend the temporal CSP formalism in order to include activity constraints and composite variables. Indeed, in many real life applications the set of variables involved by the temporal constraint problem to solve is not known in advance. More precisely, while some temporal variables (called events) are available in the initial problem, others are added dynamically to the problem during the resolution process via activity constraints and composite variables. Activity constraints allow some variables to be activated (added to the problem) when activity conditions are true. Composite variables are defined on finite domains of events. We propose in this paper two methods based respectively on constraint propagation and stochastic local search (SLS) for solving temporal constraint problems with activity constraints and composite variables. We call these problems conditional and composite temporal constraint satisfaction problems (CCTCSPs). Experimental study we conducted on randomly generated CCTCSPs demonstrates the efficiency of our exact method based on constraint propagation in the case of middle constrained and over constrained problems while the SLS based method is the technique of choice for under constrained problems and also in case we want to trade search time for the quality of the solution returned (number of solved constraints)","PeriodicalId":294694,"journal":{"name":"17th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI'05)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130282925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contributions of this work include a highly efficient spam filtering algorithm in which the input space is radically reduced to a single-dimension input vector, and an adaptive learning technique that is robust to vocabulary change, concept drifting and skewed data distribution.
