Neural Network Based Edge Detection
Křepský, Jan ; Grézl, František (referee) ; Švub, Miroslav (advisor)
Utilization of artificial neural networks in digital image processing is nothing new. The aim of this work is to design and implement neural network based edge detector and learn how effective this approach is for edge detection in images and to compare these results with common detectors. In theoretical part of my work I describe some methods of image pre-processing, common approach to edge detection and their thinning and I try to introduce basics for understanding artificial neural networks theory.

Comparison of Libraries of Artificial Neural Networks
Dohnal, Zdeněk ; Zbořil, František (referee) ; Dalecký, Štěpán (advisor)
This thesis is about comparison of libraries of artificial neural networks. Basic theory of neuron, neural networks and their learning algorithms are explained here. Multilayer perceptron, Self organizing map and Hopfield net are chosen for experiments. Criteria of comparison such as licence, community or last actualization are designed. Approximation of function, association and clustering are chosen as task for experiments. After that, there is implementation of applications using chosen libraries. At the end, result of comparison and experiment are evaluated.

Artificial neural network for modeling electromagnetic fields in a car
Kostka, Filip ; Škvor, Zbyněk (referee) ; Raida, Zbyněk (advisor)
The project deals with artificial neural networks. After designing and debugging the test data set and the training sample set, we created a multilayer perceptron network in the Neural NetworkToolbox (NNT) of Matlab. When creating networks, we used different training algorithms and algorithms improving the generalization of the network. When creating a radial basis network, we did not use the NNT, but a specific source code in Matlab was written. Functionality of neural networks was tested on simple training and testing patterns. Realistic training data were obtained by the simulation of twelve monoconic antennas operating in the frequency range from 2 to 6 GHz. Antennas were located inside a mathematical model of Octavia II. Using CST simulations, electromagnetic fields in a car were obtained. Trained networks are described by regressive characteristics andthe mean square error of training. Algorithms improving generalization are applied on the created and trained networks. The performance of individual networks is mutually compared.

Genetic Programming in Prediction Tasks
Machač, Michal ; Mrázek, Vojtěch (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This thesis introduces various machine learning algorithms which can be used in prediction tasks based on regression. Tree genetic programming and linear genetic programming are explained more thoroughly. Selected machine learning algorithms (linear regression, random forest, multilayer perceptron and tree genetic programming) are compared on publicly available datasets with the use of scikit-learn and gplearn libraries. A core part of this project is a new implementation of linear genetic programming which was developed in C++, tested on common symbolic regression problems and then evaluated on real datasets. Results obtained with the proposed system are compared with the results obtained with gplearn.

Recurrent Neural Networks in Computer Vision
Křepský, Jan ; Řezníček, Ivo (referee) ; Španěl, Michal (advisor)
The thesis concentrates on using recurrent neural networks in computer vision. The theoretical part describes the basic knowledge about artificial neural networks with focus on a recurrent architecture. There are presented some of possible applications of the recurrent neural networks which could be used for a solution of real problems. The practical part concentrates on face recognition from an image sequence using the Elman simple recurrent network. For training there are used the backpropagation and backpropagation through time algorithms.

Neural Network Library and Editor
Rouček, Martin ; Ježek, Pavel (advisor) ; Pešková, Klára (referee)
Neural network models are more often used in desktop applications given the increasing speed of computers. A very widespread platform for writing desktop applicatons is .NET Framework. Nevertheless, there is no neural networks library for the .NET Framework platform with a simple API and the possibility to work with library objects in a graphical interface. The author decided to create such a library. The main part of the thesis is a neural networks library GNNL that is initially limited to implementing two frequently used neural networks models which are a multilayer perceptron and self- organizing map together with learning algorithms of backpropagation and competitive learning. Graphical support of the library GNNL consists of a library GNNLV and neural network editor. The Library GNNLV contains the controls that allow working with GNNL library objects and a programmer can use them in his or hers application. The Neural network editor enables the programmer to create a neural network in a graphical interface, train it, analyze it, save it, and later use it in different applications. Text of the thesis focuses on analyzing and describing the implementation of the library with its graphical support. A major component of the text is a summary of neural networks theory for laics or programmers using library...

Drought Indices in Panama Canal
Gutiérrez Hernández, Julián Eli ; Máca, Petr (advisor)
Panama has a warm, wet, tropical climate. Unlike countries that are farther from the equator, Panama does not experience seasons marked by changes in temperature. Instead, Panama's seasons are divided into Wet and Dry. The Dry Season generally begins around mid-December, but this may vary by as much 3 to 4 weeks. Around this time, strong northeasterly winds known as "trade winds" begin to blow and little or no rain may fall for many weeks in a row. Daytime air temperatures increase slightly to around 30-31 Celsius (86-88 Fahrenheit), but nighttime temperatures remain around 22-23 Celsius (72-73 Fahrenheit). Relative humidity drops throughout the season, reaching average values as low as 70 percent. The Wet Season usually begins around May 1, but again this may vary by 1 or 2 weeks. May is often one of the wettest months, especially in the Panama Canal area, so the transition from the very dry conditions at the end of the Dry Season to the beginning of Wet Season can be very dramatic. With the arrival of the rain, temperatures cool down a little during the day and the trade winds disappear. Relative humidity rises quickly and may hover around 90 to 100% throughout the Wet Season. Drought forecasts can be an effective tool for mitigating some of the more adverse consequences of drought. The presented thesis compares forecast of drought indices based on seven different models of artificial neural networks model. The analyzed drought indices are SPI and SPEI-ANN Drought forecast, and was derived for the period of 1985-2014 on Panama Canal basin; I've selected seven of sixty-one Hydro-meteorological networks, existing in the Panama Canal basin. The rainfall is 1784 mm per year. The meteorological data were obtained from the PANAMA CANAL AUTHORITY, Section of Water Resources, and Panama Canal Authority, Panama. The performance of all the models was compared using ME, MAE, RMSE, NS, and PI. The results of drought indices forecast, explained by the values of seven model performance indices, show, that in Panama Canal has problem with the drought. Even though The Panama is generally seen as a wet country, droughts can cause severe problems. Significant drought conditions are observed in the index based on precipitation and potential evaporation found in this thesis; The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), were used to quantify drought in the Panama Canal basin, Panama Canal, at multiple time scales within the period 1985-2014. The results indicate that drought indices based on different variables show the same major drought events. Drought indices based on precipitation and potential evaporation are more variable in time while drought indices based on discharge. Spatial distribution of meteorological drought is uniform over Panama Canal.
