An accurate electrocardiogram (ECG) beat classification can benefit the diagnosis of the cardiovascular disease. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) can automatically extract valid features from data, which is an effective way for the classification of the ECG beats. However, the fully-connected layer in CNNs requires a fixed input dimension, which limits the CNNs to receive fixed-scale inputs. Signals of different scales are generally processed into the same size by segmentation and downsampling. If information loss occurs during a uniformly-sized process, the classification accuracy will ultimately be affected. To solve this problem, this paper constructs a new CNN framework spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) method, which solves the deficiency caused by the size of input data. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Biotechnology (MIT-BIH) arrhythmia database is employed as the training and testing data for the classification of heartbeat signals into six categories. Compared with the traditional method, which may lose a large amount of important information and easy to be over-fitted, the robustness of the proposed method can be guaranteed by extracting data features from different sizes. Experimental results show that the proposed architecture network can extract more high-quality features and exhibits higher classification accuracy (94%) than the traditional deep CNNs (90.4%).

Imaging sensors are largely employed in the food processing industry for quality control. Flour from malting barley varieties is a valuable ingredient in the food industry, but its use is restricted due to quality aspects such as color variations and the presence of husk fragments. On the other hand, naked varieties present superior quality with better visual appearance and nutritional composition for human consumption. Computer Vision Systems (CVS) can provide an automatic and precise classification of samples, but identification of grain and flour characteristics require more specialized methods. In this paper, we propose CVS combined with the Spatial Pyramid Partition ensemble (SPPe) technique to distinguish between naked and malting types of twenty-two flour varieties using image features and machine learning. SPPe leverages the analysis of patterns from different spatial regions, providing more reliable classification. Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), J48 decision tree, and Random Forest (RF) were compared for samples’ classification. Machine learning algorithms embedded in the CVS were induced based on 55 image features. The results ranged from 75.00% (k-NN) to 100.00% (J48) accuracy, showing that sample assessment by CVS with SPPe was highly accurate, representing a potential technique for automatic barley flour classification.

Classifying heterogeneous visually rich documents is a challenging task. Difficulty of this task increases even more if the maximum allowed inference turnaround time is constrained by a threshold. The increased overhead in inference cost, compared to the limited gain in classification capabilities make current multi-scale approaches infeasible in such scenarios. There are two major contributions of this work. First, we propose a spatial pyramid model to extract highly discriminative multi-scale feature descriptors from a visually rich document by leveraging the inherent hierarchy of its layout. Second, we propose a deterministic routing scheme for accelerating end-to-end inference by utilizing the spatial pyramid model. A depth-wise separable multi-column convolutional network is developed to enable our method. We evaluated the proposed approach on four publicly available, benchmark datasets of visually rich documents. Results suggest that our proposed approach demonstrates robust performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods in both classification accuracy and total inference turnaround.

We have investigated the spectrograms (dispersion: 8Å/mm) in the photographic infrared region fromλ7500 toλ9000 of some carbon stars obtained by the coudé spectrograph of the 74-inch reflector attached to the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The names of the stars investigated are listed in Table 1.
