This approach has the ability to accommodate multiple criteria such as the accuracy and cost of classification into the process of feature selection and finds the effective feature subset for texture classification. On the basis of the effective feature subset selected, a method is described to extract the objects which are higher than their surroundings, such as trees or forest, in the color aerial images. The methodology presented in this paper is illustrated by its application to the problem of trees extraction from aerial images.展开更多

In the process of feature extraction, image transformation and wavelet decomposition are combined and a feature set based on multi-fractal dimension is obtained. In the part of classifier construction, the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) network is adopted as a classifier. Experiments of sonar image classification were carried out with satisfactory results, which verify the effectiveness of this method.展开更多

Inte- grated the data of coal macrostructure characteristics, coal petrography analysis and coal gas production test, it studies the rela- tionship between coalbody structure and amplitude variation of different well logging data, and the tectonic coal recognition method with well logging data in fresh-water mud invasion. The results show that: the anomalous response of natural gamma ray, neutron, density and apparent resistivity does not reflect the coalbody structure type. In fresh-water drilling mud invasion, using the crossplot technique of dual-lateral, RXO resistivity response and the coalbody structure can classify granulated coal accurately; the proposed method is of good practicability and high reliability.展开更多

This is inadequate in many situations, especially where timber is not of primary interest. We analyzed the structure of two forest types in the Oban Division of Cross River National Park, Nigeria. Systematic sampling technique was used to establish two transects measuring 2,000 x 2 m, at 600 m interval in the two forest types in four locations. Four 50 m x 50 m plots were located alternately at 500 m intervals along each transect, constituting 32 plots per forest type and 64 plots in all, Diameters at breast height (DBH), base; middle and top; crown diameter; total height and crown length were measured on all trees with DBH 〉_ 10 cm. There were 159 stems/ha in the close-canopy forest and 132 stems/ha in the secondary forest. The mean DBH were 34.5 cm and 33.62 cm respectively. The mean heights were 24.79 m and 23.97 m, respectively. Basal area/ha were 41.59 m2 ha~ and 27.38 m2 hal for the two forest types. Majority of the trees encountered in the two forest types belonged to the middle stratum which has implication for small mammals' populations. Emergent trees which are otherwise scarce in other parts of the country were recorded, which also has implications for density thinning and seed supplies.展开更多

To enhance the dictionary's discriminative power, the reconstruction error, classification error and inhomogeneous representation error are integrated into the objective function. The proposed approach learns a single structured dictionary and a linear classifier jointly. The learned dictionary encourages the samples from the same class to have similar sparse codes, and the samples from different classes to have dissimilar sparse codes. The solution to the objective function is achieved by employing a feature-sign search algorithm and Lagrange dual method. Experimental results on three public databases demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms several recently proposed dictionary learning techniques for classification.展开更多

This depends on a technique--image clustering. Kernel-based clustering algorithm has been one of the most promising clustering methods in the last few years, beeanse it can handle data with high dimensional complex structure. In this paper, a kernel fuzzy learning (KFL) algorithm is proposed, which takes advantages of the distance kernel trick and the gradient-based fuzzy clustering method to execute the image clustering automatically. Experimental results show that KFL is a more efficient method for image clustering in comparison with recent renorted alternative methods.展开更多

First, we give a classification of the quasiprimitive permutation groups of degree dividing 3p2, and then, on the basis of the classification result, we prove that, for primes k and p, a connected graph Γ of order 6p2 and valency k is semisymmetric if and only if k = 3 and either Γ is the Gray graph, or p ≡ 1 (mod 6) and Γ is isomorphic to one known graph.展开更多

The ICD-9-CM(volume 3),ICD-10 Procedure Coding System, and International Classification of Health Interventions cover insufficient concepts of TCM, and cannot be used directly as classification systems for TCM interventions. In contrast, the TCM contents of the TCMe SH thesaurus are complete, systematic, and detailed, and its hierarchical structure can be used for effective TCM classification.CONCLUSION: TCM classification is very limited and flawed. The Me SH thesaurus helps decrease the detrimental effect of the language barrier. Similarly, the TCMe SH thesaurus can help those without full command of the Mandarin language to access Chinese literature, but the value of searches using TCMe SH could be improved by collaborative working with Information Specialists who are fluent in Mandarin and understand TCM.展开更多
