Abstract:
An artificial neural system has been designed and developed for spatio-temporal pattern 
recognition. Bi-directional Associative Memory (BAM), Adaptive Resonance Theory 
(ART), Kohonen bit map and Fuzzy System have been utilized to develop the system. The 
system is gain controlled. Several approaches have been made to learn temporal and spatio- 
temporal patterns in the framework of Neural Network. ANS are advantageous in dealing 
with low-level high resolution of signal processing. Feed forward network for learning 
static patterns has been adapted. In designing the network and to process the information 
through it, both time-domain and frequency domain nature of spatio-temporal patterns has 
been considered and analyzed.
 Software has been developed to realize the system utilizing programming C++. 
Considering a variety of inputs, the system has been simulated, tested and finally outputs 
have been obtained. It has been found that the system exhibits the capacity to recognize & 
display more than one pattern at a time. Input vectors and weight matrix have been 
determined, which performed the convergence & similarity between the two patterns.
 A three-layer fully interconnected in feed forward neural network has been presented in 
this dissertation to recognize the patterns of Bangla alphabet, English alphabet, sound 
recognition, frequency measurement, any special pattern input, the territory map of 
Bangladesh, numerals, four geometric figures, pictures, any special symbol and spatio- 
temporal pattern for recognition.
 It has been realized that the neural network approach with BAM, ART utilizing Kohonen 
feature map and Fuzzy System have better in parallel patterns as compared to other 
methods. The system has been developed to recognize any pattern of any specific 
consideration
