A trajectory planning system obtains a trajectory for controlling a state of an object toward a goal state. The system includes a search tree generating section which registers a state of the object as a root of a search tree in a state space, registers a next state of the object after a lapse of a predetermined time interval obtained through dynamical relationships during the time interval as a branch of the search tree in the state space. The system further includes a known-state registration tree storing section which stores a known-state registration tree and a known-state registration tree generating section which determines a cell to which the next state belongs among a plurality of cells previously prepared by segmenting the state space, determines whether or not a state which belongs to the cell has already been registered as a branch of the known-state registration tree, discards the next state when a state which belongs to the cell has been registered, and registers the next step as a branch of the known-state registration tree when a state which belongs to the cell has not been registered. The system further includes a trajectory generating section which selects a state whose distance to the goal state is minimum among states registered as branches of the known-state registration tree and obtains a trajectory using a sequence of states in a backward direction from the state toward the root of the known-state registration tree.

A system capable of separating sound source signals with high precision while improving a convergence rate and convergence precision. A process of updating a current separation matrix Wk to a next separation matrix Wk+1 such that a next value J(Wk+1) of a cost function is closer to a minimum value J(W0) than a current value J(Wk) is iteratively performed. An update amount ΔWk of the separation matrix is increased as the current value J(Wk) of the cost function is increased and is decreased as a current gradient ∂J(Wk)/∂W of the cost function is rapid. On the basis of input signals x from a plurality of microphones Mi and an optimal separation matrix W0, it is possible to separate sound source signals y(=W0·x) with high precision while improving a convergence rate and convergence precision.

An ultra-directional speaker having a modulator 33 for modulating an ultrasonic carrier signal with an input electric signal from an audible sound signal source, and an emitter 44 for emitting an output of the modulator 33 is mounted in a moving object 1 having a target tracking system for sensing a target in a surrounding space in real time using the above-mentioned emitter 44. The moving object equipped with ultra-directional speaker can therefore transmit a voice only to a specific target through parametric action caused by the nonlinearity of finite amplitude of ultrasonic wave.

In an artificial intelligence system for image recognition, a global image of an object is input from a camera or other optical pick-up device, and is processed in a global image processing means, which performs analytical processing on the global image by extracting global characteristics of the input image and evaluating consistency of the extracted global characteristics. Simultaneously, the image data is processed in a local image processing means which undertakes analytical processing on a plurality of local images defining local portions of the image to be recognized. The local image processing means is constructed by plural modules, each further defined by sub-modules, which conduct respective analyses corresponding to local images having characteristics useful in recognizing the global image, wherein each local processor extracts characteristics of an input local image and evaluates consistency of the extracted characteristic with the object to be recognized. Importantly, the global image processing means receives inputs from the local modules, and deactivates functions of local modules which are inconsistent with the global characteristics, while activating and promoting functions of local modules which are consistent with the global characteristics. Through top-down control from the global image processor, as well as inter-module signals between respective local processing modules, since inconsistent processes are quickly discovered,

An artificial visual apparatus and method for image recognition having a simple adaptive scaling mechanism enables the definition of scale invariant visual icons in a processing area corresponding to the anterior inferotemporal cortex (AIT) in a one-step, value-based decision making process. Icon related activity states resulting from sensory filtering to a fourth stage KL filter corresponding to the V4 area are recognized independent of the scale and position of the item to be recognized within the maximum visual field. The AIT processing area controls the window of attention in the V4 area and confines further processing onto this selected spotlight. The invention presents a biologically plausible method for scale invariant mapping from the V4 stage filter to the AIT processor. Filtering based on principal component analysis (PCA), or Karhunen-Loeve (KL) filtering, yields image data of the item of interest in the V4 stage filter, such data then being supplied to the AIT processor by a scale-invariant mapping process which controls the number of inputs to the KL filters to achieve constant resolution independent of the scale of the item of interest in the maximum visual field. Thus, the problem of scale-invariant mapping is reduced to a simple adaptive thresholding by feedforward inhibition at the AIT processor.
