Therefore, the detection method of green tide is presented from Landsat TM/ETM plus image which needs not the atmospheric correction. In order to achieve an automatic detection of green tide, a linear relationship(y =0.723 x+0.504) between detection threshold y and subtraction x(x=λnir–λred) is found from the comparing Landsat TM/ETM plus image with the field surveys.Using this relationship, green tide patches can be detected automatically from Landsat TM/ETM plus image.Considering there is brightness difference between different regions in an image, the image will be divided into a plurality of windows(sub-images) with a same size firstly, and then each window will be detected using an adaptive detection threshold determined according to the discovered linear relationship. It is found that big errors will appear in some windows, such as those covered by clouds seriously. To solve this problem, the moving step k of windows is proposed to be less than the window width n. Using this mechanism, most pixels will be detected[n/k]×[n/k] times except the boundary pixels, then every pixel will be assigned the final class(green tide or sea water) according to majority rule voting strategy. It can be seen from the experiments, the proposed detection method using multi-windows and their adaptive thresholds can detect green tide from Landsat TM/ETM plus image automatically. Meanwhile, it avoids the reliance on the accurate atmospheric correction.展开更多

The complex atmospheric environment will produce a variety of adverse effects on the signal. The interference produced by these effects overlaps with each other, which will seriously affect the strength of the received signal. Therefore, how to effectively suppress the atmospheric turbulence effect in the random atmospheric turbulence channel, ensure the normal transmission of the signal in the atmospheric channel, and reduce the bit error rate of the communication system, is very necessary to improve the communication system. When processing the received signal, it is an important step to detect the transmitted signal by comparing the received signal with the threshold. In this paper, based on the atmospheric turbulence distribution model, the adaptive signal decision threshold is obtained through the estimation of high-order cumulant. Monte Carlo method is used to verify the performance of adaptive threshold detection. The simulation results show that the high-order cumulant estimation of atmospheric turbulence parameters can realize the adaptive change of the decision threshold with the channel condition. It is shown that the adaptive threshold detection can effectively restrain atmospheric turbulence, improve the performance of free space optical and improve the communication quality.展开更多

The key issue of this process is how to determine a threshold to eliminate interference in the frequency domain, which has been extensively studied. However, these previous methods are tedious or very complex. A simple and ef- ficient algorithm based on medians is proposed.

Almost all the traditional median filters concern the removal of impulse noise having a single layer, whose noise gray level value is constant. In this paper, a new adaptive median filter is proposed to handle those images corrupted not only by single layer noise. The adaptive threshold median filter (ATMF) has been developed by combining the adaptive median filter (AMF) and two dynamic thresholds. Because of the dynamic threshold being used, the ATMF is able to balance the removal of the multiple-impulse noise and the quality of image. Comparison of the proposed method with traditional median filters is provided. Some visual examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter.展开更多

Existing methods for this purpose are mainly based on retrospective analysis, resulting in a large detection delay that limits their usages in real applications. This paper presents a new adaptive real-time change detection algorithm, an extension of the recent research by combin- ing with an incremental sliding-window strategy, to handle the multi-change detection in long-term monitoring of machine operations. In particular, in the framework, Hil- bert space embedding of distribution is used to map the original data into the Re-producing Kernel Hilbert Space (RK_HS) for change detection; then, a new adaptive threshold strategy can be developed when making change decision, in which a global factor (used to control the coarse-to-fine level of detection) is introduced to replace the fixed value of threshold. Through experiments on a range of real testing data which was collected from an experimental rotating machinery system, the excellent detection performances of the algorithm for engineering applications were demonstrated. Compared with state-of- the-art methods, the proposed algorithm can be more suitable for long-term machinery condition monitoring without any manual re-calibration, thus is promising in modern industries.展开更多

In the process of grain production prediction, mechanical noise caused by the factors of difference in field topography and mechanical vibration will be mixed in the original signal, which undoubtedly will affect the prediction accuracy. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of vibration noise on the prediction accuracy, an adaptive Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition(EEMD) threshold filtering algorithm was applied to the original signal in this paper: the output signal was decomposed into a finite number of Intrinsic Mode Functions(IMF) from high frequency to low frequency by using the Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD) algorithm which could effectively restrain the mode mixing phenomenon; then the demarcation point of high and low frequency IMF components were determined by Continuous Mean Square Error criterion(CMSE), the high frequency IMF components were denoised by wavelet threshold algorithm, and finally the signal was reconstructed. The algorithm was an improved algorithm based on the commonly used wavelet threshold. The two algorithms were used to denoise the original production signal respectively, the adaptive EEMD threshold filtering algorithm had significant advantages in three denoising performance indexes of signal denoising ratio, root mean square error and smoothness. The five field verification tests showed that the average error of field experiment was 1.994% and the maximum relative error was less than 3%. According to the test results, the relative error of the predicted yield per hectare was 2.97%, which was relative to the actual yield. The test results showed that the algorithm could effectively resist noise and improve the accuracy of prediction.展开更多

Almost all the traditional median filters concern the removal of impulse noise having a single layer, whose noise gray level value is constant. In this paper, a new adaptive median filter is proposed to handle those images corrupted not only by single layer noise. The adaptive threshold median filter (ATMF) has been developed by combining the adaptive median filter (AMF) and two dynamic thresholds. Because of the dynamic threshold being used, the ATMF is able to balance the removal of the multiple-impulse noise and the quality of image. Comparison of the proposed method with traditional median filters is provided. Some visual examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter.
文摘In order to accurately detect the occasional negative R waves in electrocardiography (ECG) signals, the positive-negative adaptive threshold method is adopted to determine the positive R waves and the negative R waves, according to difference characteristics of ECG signals. The Q and S waves can then be accurately positioned based on the basic characteristics of QRS waves. Finally, the algorithm simulation is made based on the signals from MIT-BIH database with MATLAB. The ex- perimental results show that the algorithm can improve the detection accuracy rate to 99. 91% and o- vercome the problem of larger computation load for wavelet transform and other methods, so the al- gorithm is suitable for real-time detection.
文摘As an important part of water level warning in water conservancy projects,often due to the influence of environmental factors such as light and stains,the acquired water gauge images have sticky,broken and bright spot conditions,which affect the identification of water gauges.To solve this problem,a water gauge image denoising model based on improved adaptive total variation is proposed.Firstly,the regular term exponent in the adaptive total variational equation is changed to an inverse cosine function;secondly,the differential curvature is used to distinguish the image noise points and increase the smoothing strength at the noise points;finally,according to the characteristics of the gradient mode and adaptive gradient threshold after Gaussian filtering,the New model can adaptively denoise in the smooth area and protect the edge area,so as to have the characteristics of both edge-preserving denoising.The experimental results show that the new model has a great improvement in image vision,higher iteration efficiency and an average increase of 1.6 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio,and an average increase of 9%in structural similarity,which is more beneficial to practical applications.

文摘Detection of structural changes from an opera- tional process is a major goal in machine condition moni- toring. Existing methods for this purpose are mainly based on retrospective analysis, resulting in a large detection delay that limits their usages in real applications. This paper presents a new adaptive real-time change detection algorithm, an extension of the recent research by combin- ing with an incremental sliding-window strategy, to handle the multi-change detection in long-term monitoring of machine operations. In particular, in the framework, Hil- bert space embedding of distribution is used to map the original data into the Re-producing Kernel Hilbert Space (RK_HS) for change detection; then, a new adaptive threshold strategy can be developed when making change decision, in which a global factor (used to control the coarse-to-fine level of detection) is introduced to replace the fixed value of threshold. Through experiments on a range of real testing data which was collected from an experimental rotating machinery system, the excellent detection performances of the algorithm for engineering applications were demonstrated. Compared with state-of- the-art methods, the proposed algorithm can be more suitable for long-term machinery condition monitoring without any manual re-calibration, thus is promising in modern industries.

文摘The extraction of water bodies is essential for monitoring water resources,ecosystem services and the hydrological cycle,so analyzing water bodies from remote sensing images is necessary.The water index is designed to highlight water bodies in remote sensing images.We employ a new water index and digital image processing technology to extract water bodies automatically and accurately from Landsat 8 OLI images.Firstly,we preprocess Landsat 8 OLI images with radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction.Subsequently,we apply KT transformation,LBV transformation,AWEI nsh,and HIS transformation to the preprocessed image to calculate a new water index.Then,we perform linear feature enhancement and improve the local adaptive threshold segmentation method to extract small water bodies accurately.Meanwhile,we employ morphological enhancement and improve the local adaptive threshold segmentation method to extract large water bodies.Finally,we combine small and large water bodies to get complete water bodies.Compared with other traditional methods,our method has apparent advantages in water extraction,particularly in the extraction of small water bodies.
文摘Detection of cracks at the early stage is considered as very constructive since precautionary steps need to be taken to avoid the damage to the civil structures.Moreover,identifying and classifying the severity level of cracks is inevitable in order to find the stability of buildings.Hence,this paper proposes an efficient strategy to classify the cracks into fine,medium,and thick using a novel bilayer crack detection algorithm.The bilayer crack detection algorithm helps in extracting the requisite features from the crack for efficient classification.The proposed algorithm works well in the dark background and connects the discontinued cracks too.The first layer is used to detect cracks under texture variations and manufacturing defects,through segmented adaptive thresholding and morphological operations.The residual noise present in the output of the first layer is removed in the second layer of crack detection.The second layer includes the double scan and the noise reduction algorithms and is used to join the missed crack parts.As a result,a segmented crack is formed.Further classification is done using an ensemble classifier with bagging,and decision tree techniques by extracting the geometrical features and the weaker crack criterion from the segmented part.The results of the proposed technique are compared with the existing techniques for different datasets and have obtained a rise in True Positive Rate(TPR),accuracy and precision value.The proposed technique is also implemented in Raspberry Pi for further real-time evaluation.
文摘Segmentation has been an effective step that needs to be done before the classification or detection of an anomaly like Alzheimer’s on a brain scan.Segmentation helps detect pixels of the same intensity or volume and group them together as one class or region,where in that particular region of interest(ROI)can be concentrated on,rather than focusing on the entire image.In this paper White Matter Hyperintensities(WMH)is taken as a strong biomarker that supports and determines the presence of Alzheimer’s.As thefirst step a proper segmentation of the lesions has to be carried out.As pointed out in various other research papers,when the WMH area is very small or in places like the Septum Pellucidum the detection of the lesion is hard tofind.To overcome such problem areas a very optimized and accurate Threshold would be required to have a precise segmentation to detect the area of localization.This would help in proper detection and classification of the Anomaly.In this paper an elaborate comparison of various thresholding techniques has been done for segmentation.A novel idea for detection of Alzheimer’s has been presented in this paper,which encompasses the effectiveness of an optimized and adaptive technique.The Unet architecture has been taken as the baseline model with an adaptive kernel model embedded within the architecture.Various state-of-the-art technologies have been used with the dataset and a comparative study has been presented with the current architecture used in the paper.The lesion segmentation in narrow areas has accurately been detected compared to the other models and the number of false positives has been reduced to a great extent.

文摘Damage of the blood vessels in retina due to diabetes is called diabetic retinopathy(DR).Hemorrhages is thefirst clinically visible symptoms of DR.This paper presents a new technique to extract and classify the hemorrhages in fundus images.The normal objects such as blood vessels,fovea and optic disc inside retinal images are masked to distinguish them from hemorrhages.For masking blood vessels,thresholding that separates blood vessels and background intensity followed by a newfilter to extract the border of vessels based on orienta-tions of vessels are used.For masking optic disc,the image is divided into sub-images then the brightest window with maximum variance in intensity is selected.Then the candidate dark regions are extracted based on adaptive thresholding and top-hat morphological techniques.Features are extracted from each candidate region based on ophthalmologist selection such as color and size and pattern recognition techniques such as texture and wavelet features.Three different types of Support Vector Machine(SVM),Linear SVM,Quadratic SVM and Cubic SVM classifier are applied to classify the candidate dark regions as either hemor-rhages or healthy.The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated using the standard benchmark DIARETDB1 database and by comparing the results with methods in silico.The performance of the method is measured based on average sensitivity,specificity,F-score and accuracy.Experimental results show the Linear SVM classifier gives better results than Cubic SVM and Quadratic SVM with respect to sensitivity and accuracy and with respect to specificity Quadratic SVM gives better result as compared to other SVMs.

文摘The grain production prediction is one of the most important links in precision agriculture. In the process of grain production prediction, mechanical noise caused by the factors of difference in field topography and mechanical vibration will be mixed in the original signal, which undoubtedly will affect the prediction accuracy. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of vibration noise on the prediction accuracy, an adaptive Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition(EEMD) threshold filtering algorithm was applied to the original signal in this paper: the output signal was decomposed into a finite number of Intrinsic Mode Functions(IMF) from high frequency to low frequency by using the Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD) algorithm which could effectively restrain the mode mixing phenomenon; then the demarcation point of high and low frequency IMF components were determined by Continuous Mean Square Error criterion(CMSE), the high frequency IMF components were denoised by wavelet threshold algorithm, and finally the signal was reconstructed. The algorithm was an improved algorithm based on the commonly used wavelet threshold. The two algorithms were used to denoise the original production signal respectively, the adaptive EEMD threshold filtering algorithm had significant advantages in three denoising performance indexes of signal denoising ratio, root mean square error and smoothness. The five field verification tests showed that the average error of field experiment was 1.994% and the maximum relative error was less than 3%. According to the test results, the relative error of the predicted yield per hectare was 2.97%, which was relative to the actual yield. The test results showed that the algorithm could effectively resist noise and improve the accuracy of prediction.
