The effect of explanatory factors on trip chaining behaviors and their contribution to model performace were investigated by sensitivity analysis. Results show that the SVM model has a better performance than the RBFNN model and the MNL model due to its higher overall and partial accuracy, indicating its recognition advantage under a smai sample size scenario. It is also proved that the SVM model is capable of estimating the effect of multi-category factors on trip chaining behaviors more accurately. The different contribution of explanatory, factors to trip chaining pattern recognition reflects the importance of refining trip chaining patterns ad exploring factors that are specific to each pattern. It is shown that the SVM technology in travel demand forecast modeling and analysis of explanatory variable effects is practical.展开更多

This study investigates the use of Chain Codes as features for recognition purpose. Firstly a segmentation method, based on skin color model was applied, followed by contour detection, then the chain codes of the contours were determined. The first difference of chain codes were calculated since the latter is invariant to rotation. The features were calculated and stored in a matrix. Experiments were performed using the University of Essex Face database, and results show a recognition rate of 95% with this method, when compared with Principal Components Analysis (PCA) giving 87.5% recognition rate.展开更多

The palmprint image is firstly convolved with a bank of Gabor filters, and then the orientation information is attained with a winner-take-all rule. Subsequently, the resulting orientation mapping array is operated by uniform local binary pattern. Accordingly, LBOCode image is achieved which contains palmprint orientation information in pixel level. Further we divide the LBOCode image into several equal-size and nonoverlapping regions, and extract the statistical code histogram from each region independently, which builds a global description of palmprint in regional level. In matching stage, the matching score between two palmprints is achieved by calculating the two spatial enhanced histograms＇ dissimilarity, which brings the benefit of computational simplicity. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves more promising recognition performance compared with that of several state-of-the-art methods.展开更多

It is difficult to classify targets by the shadow information independently, because the shadow shape is dependent on the radar aspect angle, the depression angle and the resolution. Moreover, the shadow shapes of different targets are similar. When the multiple SAR images of one target from different aspects are available, the performance of the target recognition can be improved. Aimed at the problem, a multi-aspect SAR image recognition technique based on the shadow information is developed. It extracts shadow profiles from SAR images, and takes chain codes as the feature vectors of targets. Then, feature vectors on multiple aspects of the same target are combined with feature sequences, and the hidden Markov model （HMM） is applied to the feature sequences for the target recognition. The simulation result shows the effectiveness of the method.展开更多

For a given finite sequence of convolutional code, the parity check matrix of the convolutional code is first computed by solving a linear system with adequate error tolerance. Then a minimal basic encoding matrix of the original convolutional code and its puncturing pattern are determined according to the known parity check matrix of the punctured convolutional code.展开更多
