Small Target Extraction Based on Independent Component Analysis for Hyperspectral Imagery

A small target detection approach based on independent component analysis for hyperspectral data is put forward. In this algorithm, firstly the fast independent component analysis(FICA) is used to collect target information hided in high-dimensional data and projects them into low-dimensional space.Secondly, the feature images are selected with kurtosis .At last, small targets are extracted with histogram image segmentation which has been labeled by skewness.

A Model for Cross-Domain Opinion Target Extraction in Sentiment Analysis

Opinion target extraction is one of the core tasks in sentiment analysison text data. In recent years, dependency parser–based approaches have beencommonly studied for opinion target extraction. However, dependency parsersare limited by language and grammatical constraints. Therefore, in this work, asequential pattern-based rule mining model, which does not have such constraints,is proposed for cross-domain opinion target extraction from product reviews inunknown domains. Thus, knowing the domain of reviews while extracting opinion targets becomes no longer a requirement. The proposed model also revealsthe difference between the concepts of opinion target and aspect, which are commonly confused in the literature. The model consists of two stages. In the firststage, the aspects of reviews are extracted from the target domain using the rulesautomatically generated from source domains. The aspects are also transferredfrom the source domains to a target domain. Moreover, aspect pruning is appliedto further improve the performance of aspect extraction. In the second stage, theopinion target is extracted among the aspects extracted at the former stage usingthe rules automatically generated for opinion target extraction. The proposedmodel was evaluated on several benchmark datasets in different domains andcompared against the literature. The experimental results revealed that the opiniontargets of the reviews in unknown domains can be extracted with higher accuracythan those of the previous works.

Parallel Extraction of Marine Targets Applying OIDA Architecture

Computing resources are one of the key factors restricting the extraction of marine targets by using deep learning.In order to increase computing speed and shorten the computing time,parallel distributed architecture is adopted to extract marine targets.The advantages of two distributed architectures,Parameter Server and Ring-allreduce architecture,are combined to design a parallel distributed architecture suitable for deep learning–Optimal Interleaved Distributed Architecture(OIDA).Three marine target extraction methods including OTD_StErf,OTD_Loglogistic and OTD_Sgmloglog are used to test OIDA,and a total of 18 experiments in 3categories are carried out.The results show that OIDA architecture can meet the timeliness requirements of marine target extraction.The average speed of target parallel extraction with single-machine 8-core CPU is 5.75 times faster than that of single-machine single-core CPU,and the average speed with 5-machine 40-core CPU is 20.75 times faster.

ICA Based Speckle Filtering for Target Extraction in SAR Images Using Adaptive Space Separation

A novel approach based on independent component analysis (ICA) for speckle filtering and target extraction of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed using adaptive space separation with weighted information entropy (WIE) incorporated. First the basis and the independent components are respectively obtained by ICA technique, and WIE of the image is computed; then based on the threshold computed from function T-WIE (threshold versus weighted-information-entropy), independent components are adaptively separated and the bases are classified accordingly. Thus, the image space is separated into two subspaces: "clean" and "noise". Then, a proposed nonlinear operator ABO is applied on each component of the 'clean' subspace for further optimization. Finally, recovery image is obtained reconstructing this subspace and target is easily extracted with binarisation. Note that here T-WIE is an interpolated function based on several representative target SAR images using proposed space separation algorithm.

Research on weak signal extraction and noise removal for GPR data based on principal component analysis

The ground penetrating radar （GPR） detection data is a wide band signal, always disturbed by some noise, such as ambient random noise and muhiple refleetion waves. The noise affects the target identification of underground medium seriously. A method based on principal component analysis （PCA） was proposed to ex- tract the target signal and remove the uncorrelated noise. According to the correlation of signal, the authors get the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors by decomposing the covariance matrix of GPR data and make linear transformation for the GPR data to get the principal components （PCs）. The lower-order PCs stand h^r the strong correlated target signals of the raw data, and the higher-order ones present the uneorrelated noise. Thus the authors can extract the target signal and filter uncorrelated noise effectively by the PCA. This method was demonstrated on real ultra-wideband through-wall radar data and simulated GPR data. Both of the results show that the PCA method can effectively extract the GPR target signal and remove the uncorrelated noise.

The techniques include vehicles sensing, image garb control, vehicle license location, lighting and optic character recognition. The system is much more robust and faster than the traditional thresholding method.

A Hybrid Method of Domain Lexicon Construction for Opinion Targets Extraction Using Syntax and Semantics

Opinion targets extraction of Chinese microblogs plays an important role in opinion mining. There has been a significant progress in this area recently, especially the method based on conditional random field （CRF）. However, this method only takes lexicon-related features into consideration and does not excavate the implied syntactic and semantic knowledge. We propose a novel approach which incorporates domain lexicon with groups of syntactical and semantic features. The approach acquires domain lexicon through a novel way which explores syntactic and semantic information through Part- of-Speech, dependency structure, phrase structure, semantic role and semantic similarity based on word embedding. And then we combine the domain lexicon with opinion targets extracted from CRF with groups of features for opinion targets extraction. Experimental results on COAE2014 dataset show the outperformance of the approach compared with other well-known methods on the task of opinion targets extraction.
