Approximate entropy and support vector machines for electroencephalogram signal classification

The automatic detection and identification of electroencephalogram waves play an important role in the prediction, diagnosis and treatment of epileptic seizures. In this study, a nonlinear dynamics index–approximate entropy and a support vector machine that has strong generalization ability were applied to classify electroencephalogram signals at epileptic interictal and ictal periods. Our aim was to verify whether approximate entropy waves can be effectively applied to the automatic real-time detection of epilepsy in the electroencephalogram, and to explore its generalization ability as a classifier trained using a nonlinear dynamics index. Four patients presenting with partial epileptic seizures were included in this study. They were all diagnosed with neocortex localized epilepsy and epileptic foci were clearly observed by electroencephalogram. The electroencephalogram data form the four involved patients were segmented and the characteristic values of each segment, that is, the approximate entropy, were extracted. The support vector machine classifier was constructed with the approximate entropy extracted from one epileptic case, and then electroencephalogram waves of the other three cases were classified, reaching a 93.33% accuracy rate. Our findings suggest that the use of approximate entropy allows the automatic real-time detection of electroencephalogram data in epileptic cases. The combination of approximate entropy and support vector machines shows good generalization ability for the classification of electroencephalogram signals for epilepsy.

Sparse representation based on projection method in online least squares support vector machines

A sparse approximation algorithm based on projection is presented in this paper in order to overcome the limitation of the non-sparsity of least squares support vector machines （LS-SVM）. The new inputs are projected into the subspace spanned by previous basis vectors （BV） and those inputs whose squared distance from the subspace is higher than a threshold are added in the BV set, while others are rejected. This consequently results in the sparse approximation. In addition, a recursive approach to deleting an exiting vector in the BV set is proposed. Then the online LS-SVM, sparse approximation and BV removal are combined to produce the sparse online LS-SVM algorithm that can control the size of memory irrespective of the processed data size. The suggested algorithm is applied in the online modeling of a pH neutralizing process and the isomerization plant of a refinery, respectively. The detailed comparison of computing time and precision is also given between the suggested algorithm and the nonsparse one. The results show that the proposed algorithm greatly improves the sparsity just with little cost of precision.

Support vector machine method for fore-casting future strong earthquakes in Chinese mainland

Statistical learning theory is for small-sample statistics. And support vector machine is a new machine learning method based on the statistical learning theory. The support vector machine not only has solved certain problems in many learning methods, such as small sample, over fitting, high dimension and local minimum, but also has a higher generalization （forecasting） ability than that of artificial neural networks. The strong earthquakes in Chinese mainland are related to a certain extent to the intensive seismicity along the main plate boundaries in the world, however, the relation is nonlinear. In the paper, we have studied this unclear relation by the support vector machine method for the purpose of forecasting strong earthquakes in Chinese mainland.

Automatic target recognition of moving target based on empirical mode decomposition and genetic algorithm support vector machine

In order to improve measurement accuracy of moving target signals, an automatic target recognition model of moving target signals was established based on empirical mode decomposition(EMD) and support vector machine(SVM). Automatic target recognition process on the nonlinear and non-stationary of Doppler signals of military target by using automatic target recognition model can be expressed as follows. Firstly, the nonlinearity and non-stationary of Doppler signals were decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) using EMD. After the Hilbert transform of IMF, the energy ratio of each IMF to the total IMFs can be extracted as the features of military target. Then, the SVM was trained through using the energy ratio to classify the military targets, and genetic algorithm(GA) was used to optimize SVM parameters in the solution space. The experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve the recognition accuracies of 86.15%, 87.93%, and 82.28% for tank, vehicle and soldier, respectively.

Automatic signal detection based on support vector machine

Algorithm of STA/LTA is frequently used in automatic signal detection, in which the range of detection threshold is （0, ∞）, the optimal threshold should be determined by experiment to make a balance between false detection and missing detection. By using the theory of pattern recognition, a new algorithm for automatic signal detection based on support vector machine was proposed and the method of preprocess and pattern feature extraction were dis- cussed as well as the selection of kernel function for support vector machine. The detection performance of the new algorithm was analyzed by means of real seismic data. The experiments showed that the new method could simplify the selection of threshold and detect signal accurately. In addition to the better performance of anti-noise, the ratio of false detection could decrease 85% in comparison with that of STA/LTA.

Animal Classification System Based on Image Processing &Support Vector Machine

This project is mainly focused to develop system for animal researchers & wild life photographers to overcome so many challenges in their day life today. When they engage in such situation, they need to be patiently waiting for long hours, maybe several days in whatever location and under severe weather conditions until capturing what they are interested in. Also there is a big demand for rare wild life photo graphs. The proposed method makes the task automatically use microcontroller controlled camera, image processing and machine learning techniques. First with the aid of microcontroller and four passive IR sensors system will automatically detect the presence of animal and rotate the camera toward that direction. Then the motion detection algorithm will get the animal into middle of the frame and capture by high end auto focus web cam. Then the captured images send to the PC and are compared with photograph database to check whether the animal is exactly the same as the photographer choice. If that captured animal is the exactly one who need to capture then it will automatically capture more. Though there are several technologies available none of these are capable of recognizing what it captures. There is no detection of animal presence in different angles. Most of available equipment uses a set of PIR sensors and whatever it disturbs the IR field will automatically be captured and stored. Night time images are black and white and have less details and clarity due to infrared flash quality. If the infrared flash is designed for best image quality, range will be sacrificed. The photographer might be interested in a specific animal but there is no facility to recognize automatically whether captured animal is the photographer’s choice or not.

Fault detection in flotation processes based on deep learning and support vector machine

Effective fault detection techniques can help flotation plant reduce reagents consumption,increase mineral recovery,and reduce labor intensity.Traditional,online fault detection methods during flotation processes have concentrated on extracting a specific froth feature for segmentation,like color,shape,size and texture,always leading to undesirable accuracy and efficiency since the same segmentation algorithm could not be applied to every case.In this work,a new integrated method based on convolution neural network(CNN)combined with transfer learning approach and support vector machine(SVM)is proposed to automatically recognize the flotation condition.To be more specific,CNN function as a trainable feature extractor to process the froth images and SVM is used as a recognizer to implement fault detection.As compared with the existed recognition methods,it turns out that the CNN-SVM model can automatically retrieve features from the raw froth images and perform fault detection with high accuracy.Hence,a CNN-SVM based,real-time flotation monitoring system is proposed for application in an antimony flotation plant in China.

Identification Method of Gas-Liquid Two-phase Flow Regime Based on Image Multi-feature Fusion and Support Vector Machine

The knowledge of flow regime is very important for quantifying the pressure drop, the stability and safety of two-phase flow systems. Based on image multi-feature fusion and support vector machine, a new method to identify flow regime in two-phase flow was presented. Firstly, gas-liquid two-phase flow images including bub- bly flow, plug flow, slug flow, stratified flow, wavy flow, annular flow and mist flow were captured by digital high speed video systems in the horizontal tube. The image moment invariants and gray level co-occurrence matrix texture features were extracted using image processing techniques. To improve the performance of a multiple classifier system, the rough sets theory was used for reducing the inessential factors. Furthermore, the support vector machine was trained by using these eigenvectors to reduce the dimension as flow regime samples, and the flow regime intelligent identification was realized. The test results showed that image features which were reduced with the rough sets theory could excellently reflect the difference between seven typical flow regimes, and successful training the support vector machine could quickly and accurately identify seven typical flow regimes of gas-liquid two-phase flow in the horizontal tube. Image multi-feature fusion method provided a new way to identify the gas-liquid two-phase flow, and achieved higher identification ability than that of single characteristic. The overall identification accuracy was 100%, and an estimate of the image processing time was 8 ms for online flow regime identification.

Combination Method of Principal Component Analysis and Support Vector Machine for On-line Process Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis

On-line monitoring and fault diagnosis of chemical process is extremely important for operation safety and product quality. Principal component analysis (PCA) has been widely used in multivariate statistical process monitoring for its ability to reduce processes dimensions. PCA and other statistical techniques, however, have difficulties in differentiating faults correctly in complex chemical process. Support vector machine (SVM) is a novel approach based on statistical learning theory, which has emerged for feature identification and classification. In this paper, an integrated method is applied for process monitoring and fault diagnosis, which combines PCA for fault feature extraction and multiple SVMs for identification of different fault sources. This approach is verified and illustrated on the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process as a case study. Results show that the proposed PCA-SVMs method has good diagnosis capability and overall diagnosis correctness rate.

Purpose–Using the strong motion data ofK-net in Japan,the continuous magnitude prediction method based on support vector machine(SVM)was studied.Design/methodology/approach–In the range of 0.5–10.0 s after the P-wave arrival,the prediction time window was established at an interval of 0.5 s.12 P-wave characteristic parameters were selected as the model input parameters to construct the earthquake early warning(EEW)magnitude prediction model(SVM-HRM)for high-speed railway based on SVM.Findings–The magnitude prediction results of the SVM-HRM model were compared with the traditional magnitude prediction model and the high-speed railway EEW current norm.Results show that at the 3.0 s time window,themagnitude prediction error of the SVM-HRMmodel is obviously smaller than that of the traditionalτc method and Pd method.The overestimation of small earthquakes is obviously improved,and the construction of the model is not affected by epicenter distance,so it has generalization performance.For earthquake events with themagnitude range of 3–5,the single station realization rate of the SVM-HRMmodel reaches 95%at 0.5 s after the arrival of P-wave,which is better than the first alarm realization rate norm required by“The TestMethod of EEW andMonitoring Systemfor High-Speed Railway.”For earthquake eventswithmagnitudes ranging from3 to 5,5 to 7 and 7 to 8,the single station realization rate of the SVM-HRM model is at 0.5 s,1.5 s and 0.5 s after the P-wave arrival,respectively,which is better than the realization rate norm of multiple stations.Originality/value–At the latest,1.5 s after the P-wave arrival,the SVM-HRM model can issue the first earthquake alarm that meets the norm of magnitude prediction realization rate,which meets the accuracy and continuity requirements of high-speed railway EEW magnitude prediction.
