  • Patent number: 11636329
    Abstract: Various examples related to real time detection with recurrent networks are presented. These can be utilized in automatic insect recognition to provide accurate and rapid in situ identification. In one example, among others, a method includes training parameters of a kernel adaptive autoregressive-moving average (KAARMA) using a signal of an input space. The signal can include source information in its time varying structure. A surrogate embodiment of the trained KAARMA can be determined based upon clustering or digitizing of the input space, binarization of the trained KAARMA state and a transition table using the outputs of the trained KAARMA for each input in the training set. A recurrent network detector can then be implemented in processing circuitry (e.g., flip-flops, FPGA, ASIC, or dedicated VLSI) based upon the surrogate embodiment of the KAARMA The recurrent network detector can be configured to identify a signal class.
