On Accurate Detection of Oceanic Features from Satellite IR Data Using ICSED Method

ICSED (Improved Cluster Shade Edge Detection) algorithm and other various methods to accurately and efficiently detect edges on satellite data are presented. Error rate criterion is used to statistically evaluate the performances of these methods in detecting oceanic features for both noise free and noise contaminated AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) IR image with Kuroshio. Also, practical experiments in detecting the eddy of Kuroshio with these methods are carried out for comparison. Results show that the ICSED algorithm has more advantages than other methods in detecting mesoscale features of ocean. Finally, the effectiveness of window size of ICSED method to oceanic features detection is quantitatively discussed.

A Comparative Study on Two Techniques of Reducing the Dimension of Text Feature Space

With the development of large scale text processing, the dimension of text feature space has become larger and larger, which has added a lot of difficulties to natural language processing. How to reduce the dimension has become a practical problem in the field. Here we present two clustering methods, i.e. concept association and concept abstract, to achieve the goal. The first refers to the keyword clustering based on the co occurrence of

Similarity Search Algorithm over Data Supply Chain Based on Key Points

In this paper, we target a similarity search among data supply chains, which plays an essential role in optimizing the supply chain and extending its value. This problem is very challenging for application-oriented data supply chains because the high complexity of the data supply chain makes the computation of similarity extremely complex and inefficient. In this paper, we propose a feature space representation model based on key points,which can extract the key features from the subsequences of the original data supply chain and simplify it into a feature vector form. Then, we formulate the similarity computation of the subsequences based on the multiscale features. Further, we propose an improved hierarchical clustering algorithm for a similarity search over the data supply chains. The main idea is to separate the subsequences into disjoint groups such that each group meets one specific clustering criteria; thus, the cluster containing the query object is the similarity search result. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is both effective and efficient for data supply chain retrieval.

Analyzing Electricity Consumption via Data Mining

This paper proposes a model to analyze the massive data of electricity.Feature subset is determined by the correla-tion-based feature selection and the data-driven methods.The attribute season can be classified successfully through five classi-fiers using the selected feature subset,and the best model can be determined further.The effects on analyzing electricity consump-tion of the other three attributes,including months,businesses,and meters,can be estimated using the chosen model.The data used for the project is provided by Beijing Power Supply Bureau.We use WEKA as the machine learning tool.The models we built are promising for electricity scheduling and power theft detection.
