Abstract
This paper presents a rotation invariant neural pattern recognition
system, which can recognize a rotated pattern and estimate a rotation
angle. The system is very effective for a rotated coin recognition
problem, but is poor compared with human performance. It is well
known that human sometimes recognizes a rotated pattern by means
of the mental rotation. Such a fact, however, has never been considered
and used in neural pattern recognition systems, especially in rotation
invariant systems. Therefore, we examine the principle of mental
rotation and apply it to a rotation invariant pattern recognition
system. The system with such a principle could recognize a rotated
pattern and estimate a rotation angle. It is shown that the system
is effective to recognize a rotated pattern from results of computer
simulation for a coin recognition problem
