Objective and quantitative assessment of skin conditions is essential for cosmeceutical studies and research on skin aging and skin regeneration.Various handcraft-based image processing methods have been proposed to evaluate skin conditions objectively,but they have unavoidable disadvantages when used to analyze skin features accurately.This study proposes a hybrid segmentation scheme consisting of Deeplab v3+with an Inception-ResNet-v2 backbone,LightGBM,and morphological processing(MP)to overcome the shortcomings of handcraft-based approaches.First,we apply Deeplab v3+with an Inception-ResNet-v2 backbone for pixel segmentation of skin wrinkles and cells.Then,LightGBM and MP are used to enhance the pixel segmentation quality.Finally,we determine several skin features based on the results of wrinkle and cell segmentation.Our proposed segmentation scheme achieved a mean accuracy of 0.854,mean of intersection over union of 0.749,and mean boundary F1 score of 0.852,which achieved 1.1%,6.7%,and 14.8%improvement over the panoptic-based semantic segmentation method,respectively.

To solve the problems of low precision of weak feature extraction,heavy reliance on labor and low efficiency of weak feature extraction in X-ray weld detection image of ultra-high voltage(UHV)equipment key parts,an automatic feature extraction algorithm is proposed.Firstly,the original weld image is denoised while retaining the characteristic information of weak defects by the proposed monostable stochastic resonance method.Then,binarization is achieved by combining Laplacian edge detection and Otsu threshold segmentation.Finally,the automatic identification of weld defect area is realized based on the sequential traversal of binary tree.Several characteristic analysis dimensions are established for weld defects of UHV key parts,including defect area,perimeter,slenderness ratio,duty cycle,etc.The experiment using theweld detection image of the actual production site shows that the proposedmethod can effectively extract theweak feature information ofweld defects and further provide reference for decision-making.

Terrorism Attack Classification Using Machine Learning: The Effectiveness of Using Textual Features Extracted from GTD Dataset

One of the biggest dangers to society today is terrorism, where attacks have become one of the most significantrisks to international peace and national security. Big data, information analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) havebecome the basis for making strategic decisions in many sensitive areas, such as fraud detection, risk management,medical diagnosis, and counter-terrorism. However, there is still a need to assess how terrorist attacks are related,initiated, and detected. For this purpose, we propose a novel framework for classifying and predicting terroristattacks. The proposed framework posits that neglected text attributes included in the Global Terrorism Database(GTD) can influence the accuracy of the model’s classification of terrorist attacks, where each part of the datacan provide vital information to enrich the ability of classifier learning. Each data point in a multiclass taxonomyhas one or more tags attached to it, referred as “related tags.” We applied machine learning classifiers to classifyterrorist attack incidents obtained from the GTD. A transformer-based technique called DistilBERT extracts andlearns contextual features from text attributes to acquiremore information from text data. The extracted contextualfeatures are combined with the “key features” of the dataset and used to perform the final classification. Thestudy explored different experimental setups with various classifiers to evaluate the model’s performance. Theexperimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms the latest techniques for classifying terroristattacks with an accuracy of 98.7% using a combined feature set and extreme gradient boosting classifier.

A three-dimensional feature extraction-based method for coal cleat characterization using X-ray μCT and its application to a Bowen Basin coal specimen

Cleats are the dominant micro-fracture network controlling the macro-mechanical behavior of coal.Improved understanding of the spatial characteristics of cleat networks is therefore important to the coal mining industry.Discrete fracture networks(DFNs)are increasingly used in engineering analyses to spatially model fractures at various scales.The reliability of coal DFNs largely depends on the confidence in the input cleat statistics.Estimates of these parameters can be made from image-based three-dimensional(3D)characterization of coal cleats using X-ray micro-computed tomography(m CT).One key step in this process,after cleat extraction,is the separation of individual cleats,without which the cleats are a connected network and statistics for different cleat sets cannot be measured.In this paper,a feature extraction-based image processing method is introduced to identify and separate distinct cleat groups from 3D X-ray m CT images.Kernels(filters)representing explicit cleat features of coal are built and cleat separation is successfully achieved by convolutional operations on 3D coal images.The new method is applied to a coal specimen with 80 mm in diameter and 100 mm in length acquired from an Anglo American Steelmaking Coal mine in the Bowen Basin,Queensland,Australia.It is demonstrated that the new method produces reliable cleat separation capable of defining individual cleats and preserving 3D topology after separation.Bedding-parallel fractures are also identified and separated,which has his-torically been challenging to delineate and rarely reported.A variety of cleat/fracture statistics is measured which not only can quantitatively characterize the cleat/fracture system but also can be used for DFN modeling.Finally,variability and heterogeneity with respect to the core axis are investigated.Significant heterogeneity is observed and suggests that the representative elementary volume(REV)of the cleat groups for engineering purposes may be a complex problem requiring careful consideration.

The Influence of Air Pollution Concentrations on Solar Irradiance Forecasting Using CNN-LSTM-mRMR Feature Extraction

Maintaining a steady power supply requires accurate forecasting of solar irradiance,since clean energy resources do not provide steady power.The existing forecasting studies have examined the limited effects of weather conditions on solar radiation such as temperature and precipitation utilizing convolutional neural network(CNN),but no comprehensive study has been conducted on concentrations of air pollutants along with weather conditions.This paper proposes a hybrid approach based on deep learning,expanding the feature set by adding new air pollution concentrations,and ranking these features to select and reduce their size to improve efficiency.In order to improve the accuracy of feature selection,a maximum-dependency and minimum-redundancy(mRMR)criterion is applied to the constructed feature space to identify and rank the features.The combination of air pollution data with weather conditions data has enabled the prediction of solar irradiance with a higher accuracy.An evaluation of the proposed approach is conducted in Istanbul over 12 months for 43791 discrete times,with the main purpose of analyzing air data,including particular matter(PM10 and PM25),carbon monoxide(CO),nitric oxide(NOX),nitrogen dioxide(NO_(2)),ozone(O₃),sulfur dioxide(SO_(2))using a CNN,a long short-term memory network(LSTM),and MRMR feature extraction.Compared with the benchmark models with root mean square error(RMSE)results of 76.2,60.3,41.3,32.4,there is a significant improvement with the RMSE result of 5.536.This hybrid model presented here offers high prediction accuracy,a wider feature set,and a novel approach based on air concentrations combined with weather conditions for solar irradiance prediction.

Spatial Distribution Feature Extraction Network for Open Set Recognition of Electromagnetic Signal

This paper proposes a novel open set recognition method,the Spatial Distribution Feature Extraction Network(SDFEN),to address the problem of electromagnetic signal recognition in an open environment.The spatial distribution feature extraction layer in SDFEN replaces convolutional output neural networks with the spatial distribution features that focus more on inter-sample information by incorporating class center vectors.The designed hybrid loss function considers both intra-class distance and inter-class distance,thereby enhancing the similarity among samples of the same class and increasing the dissimilarity between samples of different classes during training.Consequently,this method allows unknown classes to occupy a larger space in the feature space.This reduces the possibility of overlap with known class samples and makes the boundaries between known and unknown samples more distinct.Additionally,the feature comparator threshold can be used to reject unknown samples.For signal open set recognition,seven methods,including the proposed method,are applied to two kinds of electromagnetic signal data:modulation signal and real-world emitter.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the other six methods overall in a simulated open environment.Specifically,compared to the state-of-the-art Openmax method,the novel method achieves up to 8.87%and 5.25%higher micro-F-measures,respectively.

A Healthcare System for COVID19 Classification Using Multi-Type Classical Features Selection

The coronavirus(COVID19),also known as the novel coronavirus,first appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan,China.After that,it quickly spread throughout the world and became a disease.It has significantly impacted our everyday lives,the national and international economies,and public health.However,early diagnosis is critical for prompt treatment and reducing trauma in the healthcare system.Clinical radiologists primarily use chest X-rays,and computerized tomography(CT)scans to test for pneumonia infection.We used Chest CT scans to predict COVID19 pneumonia and healthy scans in this study.We proposed a joint framework for prediction based on classical feature fusion and PSO-based optimization.We begin by extracting standard features such as discrete wavelet transforms(DWT),discrete cosine transforms(DCT),and dominant rotated local binary patterns(DRLBP).In addition,we extracted Shanon Entropy and Kurtosis features.In the following step,a Max-Covariance-based maximization approach for feature fusion is proposed.The fused features are optimized in the preliminary phase using Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)and the ELM fitness function.For final prediction,PSO is used to obtain robust features,which are then implanted in a Support Vector Data Description(SVDD)classifier.The experiment is carried out using available COVID19 Chest CT Scans and scans from healthy patients.These images are from the Radiopaedia website.For the proposed scheme,the fusion and selection process accuracy is 88.6%and 93.1%,respectively.A detailed analysis is conducted,which supports the proposed system efficiency.

New supervised learning classifiers for structural damage diagnosis using time series features from a new feature extraction technique

The motivation for this article is to propose new damage classifiers based on a supervised learning problem for locating and quantifying damage.A new feature extraction approach using time series analysis is introduced to extract damage-sensitive features from auto-regressive models.This approach sets out to improve current feature extraction techniques in the context of time series modeling.The coefficients and residuals of the AR model obtained from the proposed approach are selected as the main features and are applied to the proposed supervised learning classifiers that are categorized as coefficient-based and residual-based classifiers.These classifiers compute the relative errors in the extracted features between the undamaged and damaged states.Eventually,the abilities of the proposed methods to localize and quantify single and multiple damage scenarios are verified by applying experimental data for a laboratory frame and a four-story steel structure.Comparative analyses are performed to validate the superiority of the proposed methods over some existing techniques.Results show that the proposed classifiers,with the aid of extracted features from the proposed feature extraction approach,are able to locate and quantify damage;however,the residual-based classifiers yield better results than the coefficient-based classifiers.Moreover,these methods are superior to some classical techniques.

A potential concept that could be effective for multiple applications is a“cyber-physical system”(CPS).The Internet of Things(IoT)has evolved as a research area,presenting new challenges in obtaining valuable data through environmental monitoring.The existing work solely focuses on classifying the audio system of CPS without utilizing feature extraction.This study employs a deep learning method,CNN-LSTM,and two-way feature extraction to classify audio systems within CPS.The primary objective of this system,which is built upon a convolutional neural network(CNN)with Long Short Term Memory(LSTM),is to analyze the vocalization patterns of two different species of anurans.It has been demonstrated that CNNs,when combined with mel-spectrograms for sound analysis,are suitable for classifying ambient noises.Initially,the data is augmented and preprocessed.Next,the mel spectrogram features are extracted through two-way feature extraction.First,Principal Component Analysis(PCA)is utilized for dimensionality reduction,followed by Transfer learning for audio feature extraction.Finally,the classification is performed using the CNN-LSTM process.This methodology can potentially be employed for categorizing various biological acoustic objects and analyzing biodiversity indexes in natural environments,resulting in high classification accuracy.The study highlights that this CNNLSTM approach enables cost-effective and resource-efficient monitoring of large natural regions.The dissemination of updated CNN-LSTM models across distant IoT nodes is facilitated flexibly and dynamically through the utilization of CPS.

Fusion of Region Extraction and Cross-Entropy SVM Models for Wheat Rust Diseases Classification

Wheat rust diseases are one of the major types of fungal diseases that cause substantial yield quality losses of 15%–20%every year.The wheat rust diseases are identified either through experienced evaluators or computerassisted techniques.The experienced evaluators take time to identify the disease which is highly laborious and too costly.If wheat rust diseases are predicted at the development stages,then fungicides are sprayed earlier which helps to increase wheat yield quality.To solve the experienced evaluator issues,a combined region extraction and cross-entropy support vector machine(CE-SVM)model is proposed for wheat rust disease identification.In the proposed system,a total of 2300 secondary source images were augmented through flipping,cropping,and rotation techniques.The augmented images are preprocessed by histogram equalization.As a result,preprocessed images have been applied to region extraction convolutional neural networks(RCNN);Fast-RCNN,Faster-RCNN,and Mask-RCNN models for wheat plant patch extraction.Different layers of region extraction models construct a feature vector that is later passed to the CE-SVM model.As a result,the Gaussian kernel function in CE-SVM achieves high F1-score(88.43%)and accuracy(93.60%)for wheat stripe rust disease classification.

Feature Extraction and Classification of Photovoltaic Panels Based on Convolutional Neural Network

Photovoltaic(PV)boards are a perfect way to create eco-friendly power from daylight.The defects in the PV panels are caused by various conditions;such defective PV panels need continuous monitoring.The recent development of PV panel monitoring systems provides a modest and viable approach to monitoring and managing the condition of the PV plants.In general,conventional procedures are used to identify the faulty modules earlier and to avoid declines in power generation.The existing deep learning architectures provide the required output to predict the faulty PV panels with less accuracy and a more time-consuming process.To increase the accuracy and to reduce the processing time,a new Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)architecture is required.Hence,in the present work,a new Real-time Multi Variant Deep learning Model(RMVDM)architecture is proposed,and it extracts the image features and classifies the defects in PV panels quickly with high accuracy.The defects that arise in the PV panels are identified by the CNN based RMVDM using RGB images.The biggest difference between CNN and its predecessors is that CNN automatically extracts the image features without any help from a person.The technique is quantitatively assessed and compared with existing faulty PV board identification approaches on the large real-time dataset.The results show that 98%of the accuracy and recall values in the fault detection and classification process.

Pixel-Level Feature Extraction Model for Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women,and diagnosing it early is vital for successful treatment.The examination of images captured during biopsies plays an important role in determining whether a patient has cancer or not.However,the stochastic patterns,varying intensities of colors,and the large sizes of these images make it challenging to identify and mark malignant regions in them.Against this backdrop,this study proposes an approach to the pixel categorization based on the genetic algorithm(GA)and principal component analysis(PCA).The spatial features of the images were extracted using various filters,and the most prevalent ones are selected using the GA and fed into the classifiers for pixel-level categorization.Three classifiers—random forest(RF),decision tree(DT),and extra tree(ET)—were used in the proposed model.The parameters of all modelswere separately tuned,and their performance was tested.The results show that the features extracted by using the GA+PCA in the proposed model are influential and reliable for pixel-level classification in service of the image annotation and tumor identification.Further,an image from benign,malignant,and normal classes was randomly selected and used to test the proposed model.The proposed modelGA-PCA-DT has delivered accuracies between 0.99 to 1.0 on a reduced feature set.The predicted pixel sets were also compared with their respective ground-truth values to assess the overall performance of the method on two metrics—the universal image quality index(UIQI)and the structural similarity index(SSI).Both quality measures delivered excellent results.

Deep Facial Emotion Recognition Using Local Features Based on Facial Landmarks for Security System

Emotion recognition based on facial expressions is one of the most critical elements of human-machine interfaces.Most conventional methods for emotion recognition using facial expressions use the entire facial image to extract features and then recognize specific emotions through a pre-trained model.In contrast,this paper proposes a novel feature vector extraction method using the Euclidean distance between the landmarks changing their positions according to facial expressions,especially around the eyes,eyebrows,nose,andmouth.Then,we apply a newclassifier using an ensemble network to increase emotion recognition accuracy.The emotion recognition performance was compared with the conventional algorithms using public databases.The results indicated that the proposed method achieved higher accuracy than the traditional based on facial expressions for emotion recognition.In particular,our experiments with the FER2013 database show that our proposed method is robust to lighting conditions and backgrounds,with an average of 25% higher performance than previous studies.Consequently,the proposed method is expected to recognize facial expressions,especially fear and anger,to help prevent severe accidents by detecting security-related or dangerous actions in advance.

The performance of a speech emotion recognition(SER)system is heavily influenced by the efficacy of its feature extraction techniques.The study was designed to advance the field of SER by optimizing feature extraction tech-niques,specifically through the incorporation of high-resolution Mel-spectrograms and the expedited calculation of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC).This initiative aimed to refine the system’s accuracy by identifying and mitigating the shortcomings commonly found in current approaches.Ultimately,the primary objective was to elevate both the intricacy and effectiveness of our SER model,with a focus on augmenting its proficiency in the accurate identification of emotions in spoken language.The research employed a dual-strategy approach for feature extraction.Firstly,a rapid computation technique for MFCC was implemented and integrated with a Bi-LSTM layer to optimize the encoding of MFCC features.Secondly,a pretrained ResNet model was utilized in conjunction with feature Stats pooling and dense layers for the effective encoding of Mel-spectrogram attributes.These two sets of features underwent separate processing before being combined in a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)outfitted with a dense layer,with the aim of enhancing their representational richness.The model was rigorously evaluated using two prominent databases:CMU-MOSEI and RAVDESS.Notable findings include an accuracy rate of 93.2%on the CMU-MOSEI database and 95.3%on the RAVDESS database.Such exceptional performance underscores the efficacy of this innovative approach,which not only meets but also exceeds the accuracy benchmarks established by traditional models in the field of speech emotion recognition.

Monocular 3D object detection with Pseudo-LiDAR confidence sampling and hierarchical geometric feature extraction in 6G network

The high bandwidth and low latency of 6G network technology enable the successful application of monocular 3D object detection on vehicle platforms.Monocular 3D-object-detection-based Pseudo-LiDAR is a low-cost,lowpower solution compared to LiDAR solutions in the field of autonomous driving.However,this technique has some problems,i.e.,(1)the poor quality of generated Pseudo-LiDAR point clouds resulting from the nonlinear error distribution of monocular depth estimation and(2)the weak representation capability of point cloud features due to the neglected global geometric structure features of point clouds existing in LiDAR-based 3D detection networks.Therefore,we proposed a Pseudo-LiDAR confidence sampling strategy and a hierarchical geometric feature extraction module for monocular 3D object detection.We first designed a point cloud confidence sampling strategy based on a 3D Gaussian distribution to assign small confidence to the points with great error in depth estimation and filter them out according to the confidence.Then,we present a hierarchical geometric feature extraction module by aggregating the local neighborhood features and a dual transformer to capture the global geometric features in the point cloud.Finally,our detection framework is based on Point-Voxel-RCNN(PV-RCNN)with high-quality Pseudo-LiDAR and enriched geometric features as input.From the experimental results,our method achieves satisfactory results in monocular 3D object detection.

Novel Multimodal Biometric Feature Extraction for Precise Human Identification

In recent years,biometric sensors are applicable for identifying impor-tant individual information and accessing the control using various identifiers by including the characteristics like afingerprint,palm print,iris recognition,and so on.However,the precise identification of human features is still physically chal-lenging in humans during their lifetime resulting in a variance in their appearance or features.In response to these challenges,a novel Multimodal Biometric Feature Extraction(MBFE)model is proposed to extract the features from the noisy sen-sor data using a modified Ranking-based Deep Convolution Neural Network(RDCNN).The proposed MBFE model enables the feature extraction from differ-ent biometric images that includes iris,palm print,and lip,where the images are preprocessed initially for further processing.The extracted features are validated after optimal extraction by the RDCNN by splitting the datasets to train the fea-ture extraction model and then testing the model with different sets of input images.The simulation is performed in matlab to test the efficacy of the modal over multi-modal datasets and the simulation result shows that the proposed meth-od achieves increased accuracy,precision,recall,and F1 score than the existing deep learning feature extraction methods.The performance improvement of the MBFE Algorithm technique in terms of accuracy,precision,recall,and F1 score is attained by 0.126%,0.152%,0.184%,and 0.38%with existing Back Propaga-tion Neural Network(BPNN),Human Identification Using Wavelet Transform(HIUWT),Segmentation Methodology for Non-cooperative Recognition(SMNR),Daugman Iris Localization Algorithm(DILA)feature extraction techni-ques respectively.

Image Feature Extraction and Matching of Augmented Solar Images in Space Weather

Augmented solar images were used to research the adaptability of four representative image extraction and matching algorithms in space weather domain.These include the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm,speeded-up robust features algorithm,binary robust invariant scalable keypoints algorithm,and oriented fast and rotated brief algorithm.The performance of these algorithms was estimated in terms of matching accuracy,feature point richness,and running time.The experiment result showed that no algorithm achieved high accuracy while keeping low running time,and all algorithms are not suitable for image feature extraction and matching of augmented solar images.To solve this problem,an improved method was proposed by using two-frame matching to utilize the accuracy advantage of the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm and the speed advantage of the oriented fast and rotated brief algorithm.Furthermore,our method and the four representative algorithms were applied to augmented solar images.Our application experiments proved that our method achieved a similar high recognition rate to the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm which is significantly higher than other algorithms.Our method also obtained a similar low running time to the oriented fast and rotated brief algorithm,which is significantly lower than other algorithms.
