Facial Expression Recognition Model Depending on Optimized Support Vector Machine

In computer vision,emotion recognition using facial expression images is considered an important research issue.Deep learning advances in recent years have aided in attaining improved results in this issue.According to recent studies,multiple facial expressions may be included in facial photographs representing a particular type of emotion.It is feasible and useful to convert face photos into collections of visual words and carry out global expression recognition.The main contribution of this paper is to propose a facial expression recognitionmodel(FERM)depending on an optimized Support Vector Machine(SVM).To test the performance of the proposed model(FERM),AffectNet is used.AffectNet uses 1250 emotion-related keywords in six different languages to search three major search engines and get over 1,000,000 facial photos online.The FERM is composed of three main phases:(i)the Data preparation phase,(ii)Applying grid search for optimization,and(iii)the categorization phase.Linear discriminant analysis(LDA)is used to categorize the data into eight labels(neutral,happy,sad,surprised,fear,disgust,angry,and contempt).Due to using LDA,the performance of categorization via SVM has been obviously enhanced.Grid search is used to find the optimal values for hyperparameters of SVM(C and gamma).The proposed optimized SVM algorithm has achieved an accuracy of 99%and a 98%F1 score.

A new human action recognition approach was presented based on chaotic invariants and relevance vector machines(RVM).The trajectories of reference joints estimated by skeleton graph matching were adopted for representing the nonlinear dynamical system of human action.The C-C method was used for estimating delay time and embedding dimension of a phase space which was reconstructed by each trajectory.Then,some chaotic invariants representing action can be captured in the reconstructed phase space.Finally,RVM was used to recognize action.Experiments were performed on the KTH,Weizmann and Ballet human action datasets to test and evaluate the proposed method.The experiment results show that the average recognition accuracy is over91.2%,which validates its effectiveness.

The KFA with varimax could more accurately image handwritten digit recognition.

Study on the Essence of Optimal Statistically Uncorrelated Discriminant Vectors and Its Application to Face Recognition

A study has been made on the essence of optimal uncorrelated discriminant vectors. A whitening transform has been constructed by means of the eigen decomposition of the population scatter matrix, which makes the population scatter matrix be an identity matrix in the transformed sample space no matter whether the population scatter matrix is singular or not. Thus, the optimal discriminant vectors solved by the conventional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) methods are statistically uncorrelated. The research indicates that the essence of the statistically uncorrelated discriminant transform is the whitening transform plus conventional linear discriminant transform. The distinguished characteristics of the proposed method is that the obtained optimal discriminant vectors are not only orthogonal but also statistically uncorrelated. The proposed method is applicable to all the problems of algebraic feature extraction. The numerical experiments on several facial databases show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Human Action Recognition Using Difference of Gaussian and Difference of Wavelet

Human Action Recognition(HAR)attempts to recognize the human action from images and videos.The major challenge in HAR is the design of an action descriptor that makes the HAR system robust for different environments.A novel action descriptor is proposed in this study,based on two independent spatial and spectral filters.The proposed descriptor uses a Difference of Gaussian(DoG)filter to extract scale-invariant features and a Difference of Wavelet(DoW)filter to extract spectral information.To create a composite feature vector for a particular test action picture,the Discriminant of Guassian(DoG)and Difference of Wavelet(DoW)features are combined.Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA),a widely used dimensionality reduction technique,is also used to eliminate duplicate data.Finally,a closest neighbor method is used to classify the dataset.Weizmann and UCF 11 datasets were used to run extensive simulations of the suggested strategy,and the accuracy assessed after the simulations were run on Weizmann datasets for five-fold cross validation is shown to perform well.The average accuracy of DoG+DoW is observed as 83.6635%while the average accuracy of Discrinanat of Guassian(DoG)and Difference of Wavelet(DoW)is observed as 80.2312%and 77.4215%,respectively.The average accuracy measured after the simulation of proposed methods over UCF 11 action dataset for five-fold cross validation DoG+DoW is observed as 62.5231%while the average accuracy of Difference of Guassian(DoG)and Difference of Wavelet(DoW)is observed as 60.3214%and 58.1247%,respectively.From the above accuracy observations,the accuracy of Weizmann is high compared to the accuracy of UCF 11,hence verifying the effectiveness in the improvisation of recognition accuracy.

SlowFast Based Real-Time Human Motion Recognition with Action Localization

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being applied in the field of video analysis,particularly in the area of public safety where video surveillance equipment such as closed-circuit television(CCTV)is used and automated analysis of video information is required.However,various issues such as data size limitations and low processing speeds make real-time extraction of video data challenging.Video analysis technology applies object classification,detection,and relationship analysis to continuous 2D frame data,and the various meanings within the video are thus analyzed based on the extracted basic data.Motion recognition is key in this analysis.Motion recognition is a challenging field that analyzes human body movements,requiring the interpretation of complex movements of human joints and the relationships between various objects.The deep learning-based human skeleton detection algorithm is a representative motion recognition algorithm.Recently,motion analysis models such as the SlowFast network algorithm,have also been developed with excellent performance.However,these models do not operate properly in most wide-angle video environments outdoors,displaying low response speed,as expected from motion classification extraction in environments associated with high-resolution images.The proposed method achieves high level of extraction and accuracy by improving SlowFast’s input data preprocessing and data structure methods.The input data are preprocessed through object tracking and background removal using YOLO and DeepSORT.A higher performance than that of a single model is achieved by improving the existing SlowFast’s data structure into a frame unit structure.Based on the confusion matrix,accuracies of 70.16%and 70.74%were obtained for the existing SlowFast and proposed model,respectively,indicating a 0.58%increase in accuracy.Comparing detection,based on behavioral classification,the existing SlowFast detected 2,341,164 cases,whereas the proposed model detected 3,119,323 cases,which is an increase of 33.23%.

Dynamic Spatial Discrimination Maps of Discriminative Activation between Different Tasks Based on Support Vector Machines

As a set of supervised pattern recognition methods, support vector machines (SVMs) have been successfully applied to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) field, but few studies have focused on visualizing discriminative regions of whole brain between different cognitive tasks dynamically. This paper presents a SVM-based method for visualizing dynamically discriminative activation of whole-brain voxels between two kinds of tasks without any contrast. Our method provides a series of dynamic spatial discrimination maps (DSDMs), representing the temporal evolution of discriminative brain activation during a duty cycle and describing how the discriminating information changes over the duty cycle. The proposed method was applied to investigate discriminative brain functional activations of whole brain voxels dynamically based on a hand-motor task experiment. A set of DSDMs between left hand movement and right hand movement were reached. Our results demonstrated not only where but also when the discriminative activations of whole brain voxels occurred between left hand movement and right hand movement during one duty cycle.

Two-Stream Temporal Convolutional Networks for Skeleton-Based Human Action Recognition

With the growing popularity of somatosensory interaction devices,human action recognition is becoming attractive in many application scenarios.Skeleton-based action recognition is effective because the skeleton can represent the position and the structure of key points of the human body.In this paper,we leverage spatiotemporal vectors between skeleton sequences as input feature representation of the network,which is more sensitive to changes of the human skeleton compared with representations based on distance and angle features.In addition,we redesign residual blocks that have different strides in the depth of the network to improve the processing ability of the temporal convolutional networks(TCNs)for long time dependent actions.In this work,we propose the two-stream temporal convolutional networks(TSTCNs)that take full advantage of the inter-frame vector feature and the intra-frame vector feature of skeleton sequences in the spatiotemporal representations.The framework can integrate different feature representations of skeleton sequences so that the two feature representations can make up for each other’s shortcomings.The fusion loss function is used to supervise the training parameters of the two branch networks.Experiments on public datasets show that our network achieves superior performance and attains an improvement of 1.2%over the recent GCN-based(BGC-LSTM)method on the NTU RGB+D dataset.

A SVM-Based Feature Extraction for Face Recognition

Social computing, a cross science of computational science and social science, is affecting people’s learning, work and life recently. Face recognition is going deep into every field of social life, and the feature extraction is particularly important. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is an effective feature extraction method. However, the traditional LDA cannot solve the nonlinear problem and small sample problem existing in high dimensional space. In this paper, the method of the Support Vector-based Direct Discriminant Analysis (SVDDA) is proposed. It incorporates SVM algorithm into LDA, extends SVM to nonlinear eigenspace, and optimizes eigenvalue to improve performance. Moreover, this paper combines SVDDA with the social computing theory. The experiments were tested on different face datasets. Compared with other existing methods, SVDDA has higher robustness and optimal performance.

基于概率球面判别分析的说话人识别信道补偿算法

在说话人识别任务中,概率线性判别分析(PLDA)模型是目前常用的分类后端,但由于高斯PLDA模型分布假设不能准确拟合真实说话人特征分布,导致基于高斯分布假设长度归一化的信道补偿方法会破坏说话人特征类内分布的独立性,使得高斯PLDA不能充分利用上游任务提取特征所包含的说话人信息,从而影响识别结果。针对这一问题,提出基于概率球面判别分析的信道补偿算法(CC-PSDA),通过引入冯·米塞斯-费希尔(VMF)分布假设的概率球面判别分析模型(PSDA)和特征变换方法代替高斯分布假设的概率线性判别分析方法,以避免信道补偿对说话人特征类内分布独立性的影响。首先,为了使说话人特征符合VMF分布先验假设拟合后端分类模型,在特征级利用非线性转换对说话人特征进行分布变换。之后,利用基于VMF分布假设的PLDA模型不会破坏说话人特征的类内分布结构的特点,将变换后的说话人特征定义到特定维度的超球面,最大化特征类间距离。所提算法通过期望最大化(EM)算法进行求解,最终完成分类任务。实验结果表明,改进算法在三个测试集上的识别等错误率相较于对比模型PSDA、高斯PLDA均最低。由此可见,所提模型可以有效区分说话人特征,提高识别性能。

Target detection and recognition in SAR imagery based on KFDA

Current research on target detection and recognition from synthetic aperture radar （SAR） images is usually carried out separately. It is difficult to verify the ability of a target recognition algorithm for adapting to changes in the environment. To realize the whole process of SAR automatic target recognition （ATR）, es- pecially for the detection and recognition of vehicles, an algorithm based on kernel fisher discdminant analysis （KFDA） is proposed. First, in order to make a better description of the difference be- tween the background and the target, KFDA is extended to the detection part. Image samples are obtained with a dual-window approach and features of the inner and outer window samples are extracted by using KFDA. The difference between the features of inner and outer window samples is compared with a threshold to determine whether a vehicle exists. Second, for the target area, we propose an improved KFDA-IMED （image Euclidean distance） combined with a support vector machine （SVM） to recognize the vehicles. Experimental results validate the performance of our method. On the detection task, our proposed method obtains not only a high detection rate but also a low false alarm rate without using any prior information. For the recognition task, our method overcomes the SAR image aspect angle sensitivity, reduces the requirements for image preprocessing and improves the recogni- tion rate.
