Using Neural Networks to Combine Multiple Features in Remote Sensing Image Classification

Remote sensing image classification is the basis of remote sensing image analysis and understanding.It aims to assign each pixel an object class label.To achieve satisfactory classification accuracy,single feature is not enough.Multiple features are usually integrated in remote sensing image classification.In this paper,a method based on neural network to combine multiple features was proposed.A single network was used to perform the task instead of ensemble of neural networks.A special architecture of network was designed to fit the task.The method effectively avoids the problems in direct conjunction of multiple features.Experiments on Indian93 data set show that the method has obvious advantages over conjunction of features on both recognition rate and training time.

Decoding algorithm with multiple features based on optical camera communication system

The performance of decoding algorithm is one of the important influential factors to determine the communication quality of optical camera communication(OCC) system. In this paper, we first propose a decoding algorithm with adaptive thresholding based on the captured pixel values under an ideal environment, and then we further propose a decoding algorithm with multiple features, which is more suitable under the existence of the interference of light sources. The algorithm firstly determines the light-emitting diode(LED) array profile information by removing the interfering light sources through geometric features, and then identifies the LED state by calculating two grayscale features, the average gray ratio(AGR) and the gradient radial inwardness(GRI) of the LEDs, and finally obtains the LED state matrix. The experimental results show that the bit error ratio(BER) of the decoding algorithm with multiple features decreases from 1×10^(-2) to 5×10^(-4) at 80 m.

Tool Wear Monitoring in Drilling Using Multiple Feature Fusion of the Cutting Force

This paper presents a tool wear monitoring method in drilling process using cutting force signal. The kurtosis coefficient and the energy of a special frequency band of cutting force signals were taken as the signal features of tool wear as well as the mean value and the standard deviation from the time and frequency domain. The relationships between the signal feature and tool wear were discussed; then the vectors constituted of the signal features were input to the artificial neural network for fusion in order to realize intelligent identification of tool wear. The experimental results show that the artificial neural network can realize fusion of multiple features effectively, but the identification precision and the extending ability are not ideal owing to the relationship between the features and the tool wear being fuzzy and not certain.

Two-Stream Deep Learning Architecture-Based Human Action Recognition

Human action recognition(HAR)based on Artificial intelligence reasoning is the most important research area in computer vision.Big breakthroughs in this field have been observed in the last few years;additionally,the interest in research in this field is evolving,such as understanding of actions and scenes,studying human joints,and human posture recognition.Many HAR techniques are introduced in the literature.Nonetheless,the challenge of redundant and irrelevant features reduces recognition accuracy.They also faced a few other challenges,such as differing perspectives,environmental conditions,and temporal variations,among others.In this work,a deep learning and improved whale optimization algorithm based framework is proposed for HAR.The proposed framework consists of a few core stages i.e.,frames initial preprocessing,fine-tuned pre-trained deep learning models through transfer learning(TL),features fusion using modified serial based approach,and improved whale optimization based best features selection for final classification.Two pre-trained deep learning models such as InceptionV3 and Resnet101 are fine-tuned and TL is employed to train on action recognition datasets.The fusion process increases the length of feature vectors;therefore,improved whale optimization algorithm is proposed and selects the best features.The best selected features are finally classified usingmachine learning(ML)classifiers.Four publicly accessible datasets such as Ut-interaction,Hollywood,Free Viewpoint Action Recognition usingMotion History Volumes(IXMAS),and centre of computer vision(UCF)Sports,are employed and achieved the testing accuracy of 100%,99.9%,99.1%,and 100%respectively.Comparison with state of the art techniques(SOTA),the proposed method showed the improved accuracy.

Automatic greenhouse pest recognition based on multiple color space features

Recognition and counting of greenhouse pests are important for monitoring and forecasting pest population dynamics.This study used image processing techniques to recognize and count whiteflies and thrips on a sticky trap located in a greenhouse environment.The digital images of sticky traps were collected using an image-acquisition system under different greenhouse conditions.If a single color space is used,it is difficult to segment the small pests correctly because of the detrimental effects of non-uniform illumination in complex scenarios.Therefore,a method that first segments object pests in two color spaces using the Prewitt operator in I component of the hue-saturation-intensity(HSI)color space and the Canny operator in the B component of the Lab color space was proposed.Then,the segmented results for the two-color spaces were summed and achieved 91.57%segmentation accuracy.Next,because different features of pests contribute differently to the classification of pest species,the study extracted multiple features(e.g.,color and shape features)in different color spaces for each segmented pest region to improve the recognition performance.Twenty decision trees were used to form a strong ensemble learning classifier that used a majority voting mechanism and obtains 95.73%recognition accuracy.The proposed method is a feasible and effective way to process greenhouse pest images.The system accurately recognized and counted pests in sticky trap images captured under real greenhouse conditions.

Double trisomy 48,XXX,+18 with multiple dysmorphic features

Background:Chromosomal abnormality is a common cause of congenital anomalies,psychiatric disorders,and mental retardation.However,the double trisomy 48,XXX,+18 is a rare chromosome abnormality.Methods:Case report and literature review.Results:A 7-hour-old girl presented to our unit because of poor response after birth.She presented with multiple dysmorphic features,including small for gestational age infant,flat nasal bridge,widely-spaced eyes,the left thumb deformities,flat facial profile,raised sternum,ventricular septal defect,the third lateral brain ventricle enlargement,and small liver.This case expands the spectrum of malformations reported in association with the double trisomy 48,XXX,+18.The literature on 16 fetuses or infants with the 48,XXX,+18 were also reviewed.Conclusion:These data suggested that in patients with clinical features similar to trisomy 18,especially with anomalies of the ears and/or reproductive malformations,double trisomy(48,XXX,+18)should be considered and karyotyping should be performed although it is a rare disease.

A Multiple Feature Approach for Disorder Normalization in Clinical Notes

In this paper we propose a multiple feature approach for the normalization task which can map each disorder mention in the text to a unique unified medical language system（UMLS）concept unique identifier（CUI）. We develop a two-step method to acquire a list of candidate CUIs and their associated preferred names using UMLS API and to choose the closest CUI by calculating the similarity between the input disorder mention and each candidate. The similarity calculation step is formulated as a classification problem and multiple features（string features,ranking features,similarity features,and contextual features） are used to normalize the disorder mentions. The results show that the multiple feature approach improves the accuracy of the normalization task from 32.99% to 67.08% compared with the Meta Map baseline.

Contact-free and pose-invariant hand-biometric-based personal identification system using RGB and depth data

Hand-biometric-based personal identification is considered to be an effective method for automatic recognition. However, existing systems require strict constraints during data acquisition, such as costly devices,specified postures, simple background, and stable illumination. In this paper, a contactless personal identification system is proposed based on matching hand geometry features and color features. An inexpensive Kinect sensor is used to acquire depth and color images of the hand. During image acquisition, no pegs or surfaces are used to constrain hand position or posture. We segment the hand from the background through depth images through a process which is insensitive to illumination and background. Then finger orientations and landmark points, like finger tips or finger valleys, are obtained by geodesic hand contour analysis. Geometric features are extracted from depth images and palmprint features from intensity images. In previous systems, hand features like finger length and width are normalized, which results in the loss of the original geometric features. In our system, we transform 2D image points into real world coordinates, so that the geometric features remain invariant to distance and perspective effects. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed hand-biometric-based personal identification system is effective and robust in various practical situations.

See clearly on rainy days:Hybrid multiscale loss guided multifeature fusion network for single image rain removal

The quality of photos is highly susceptible to severe weather such as heavy rain;it can also degrade the performance of various visual tasks like object detection.Rain removal is a challenging problem because rain streaks have different appearances even in one image.Regions where rain accumulates appear foggy or misty,while rain streaks can be clearly seen in areas where rain is less heavy.We propose removing various rain effects in pictures using a hybrid multiscale loss guided multiple feature fusion de-raining network(MSGMFFNet).Specially,to deal with rain streaks,our method generates a rain streak attention map,while preprocessing uses gamma correction and contrast enhancement to enhanced images to address the problem of rain accumulation.Using these tools,the model can restore a result with abundant details.Furthermore,a hybrid multiscale loss combining L1 loss and edge loss is used to guide the training process to pay attention to edge and content information.Comprehensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
