In order to do this refinement we use one criterion of the NSHS known as, knowledge representation type. The knowledge representation type used in this paper is called combined representation, which is a combination among a local representation and a distributed representation. The proposed NSHS model allows the integration of the numeric and symbolic knowledge in order to obtain refinement knowledge. In this work, numeric knowledge comes from a vision system and symbolic knowledge comes from a human expert in apple classification. We give a brief description of each phase of the proposed model and analysis of the results obtained for every approach (symbolic, connectionist and hybrid) are made. The obtained results demonstrated that, if a lack of knowledge exists, the NSHS model can be used to refine the knowledge.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124802988","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}

Finally, a set of properties for the verification of this module were established and proved using two verification tools.

Here we present a system capable to recognize the size of an object as well as its distance to an observation plane, by using the shadow that the object produces on this plane. The shadow is formed by a dark zone called umbra and an intermediate zone between the dark zone and the bright one called penumbra. The penumbra is used to correlate the diameter of the object producing it and the distance to the plane where the shadow is projected. The system is capable of measuring milimetric dimensions, with a precision of tenths of a milimeter,and to evaluate its distance to the plane with the same precision. MATLAB is used as the computing engine.

Technology advances arise new challenges for companies, and the need of connectivz@ of these companies increases. Package delivery, product testing, and control mobile technology systems in production and assembly lines are important aspects to be controlled in an enterprise. Using mobile communications technology and the appropriate devices and software, these issues can be achieved at a very low cost for a company. In a production center of a company, a motor vehicle can be equipped with sensors devices to report data to a gathering device. This data, along with the current coordinates obtained $-om the GPS service, can be transferred in real time using GPRS to an internet sewer for data storage of the variables sensed. It can also be used for tracking a vehicle. The GPS acquires the location and if is transferred to an Internet sewer to be stored in a database using the GPRS sewice and the project S communication software. This communicatzon software maps the points captured, the exact location of the vehicle can be known even in as they occur.
