Estimation of Meteorological visibility from image characteristics is a challenging problem in the research of meteorological parameters estimation. Meteorological visibility can be used to indicate the weather transparency and this indicator is important for transport safety. This paper summarizes the outcomes of the experimental evaluation of a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based transfer learning method for meteorological visibility estimation method. This paper proposes a modified approach of the transfer learning method for visibility estimation by using PSO feature selection. Image data are collected at fixed location with fixed viewing angle. The database images were gone through a pre-processing step of gray-averaging so as to provide information of static landmark objects for automatic extraction of effective regions from images. Effective regions are then extracted from image database and the image features are then extracted from the Neural Network. Subset of Image features are selected based on the Particle Swarming Optimization (PSO) methods to obtain the image feature vectors for each effective sub-region. The image feature vectors are then used to estimate the visibilities of the images by using the Multiple Support Vector Regression (SVR) models. Experimental results show that the proposed method can give an accuracy more than 90% for visibility estimation and the proposed method is effective and robust.

Aiming at the imbalance problem of wireless link samples, we propose the link quality estimation method which combines the K-means synthetic minority over-sampling technique (K-means SMOTE) and weighted random forest. The method adopts the mean, variance and asymmetry metrics of the physical layer parameters as the link quality parameters. The link quality is measured by link quality level which is determined by the packet receiving rate. K-means is used to cluster link quality samples. SMOTE is employed to synthesize samples for minority link quality samples, so as to make link quality samples of different link quality levels reach balance. Based on the weighted random forest, the link quality estimation model is constructed. In the link quality estimation model, the decision trees with worse classification performance are assigned smaller weight, and the decision trees with better classification performance are assigned bigger weight. The experimental results show that the proposed link quality estimation method has better performance with samples processed by K-means SMOTE. Furthermore, it has better estimation performance than the ones of Naive Bayesian, Logistic Regression and K-nearest Neighbour estimation methods.

Over past decade, behavioral biometric systems based on face recognition became leading commercial systems that meet the need for fast and efficient confirmation of a person's identity. Facial recognition works on biometric samples, like image or video frames, to recognize people. The performance of an automated face recognition system has a strong relationship with the quality of the biometric samples. In this chapter, the authors propose a quality estimation method based on a linear regression analysis to characterize the relationship between different quality factors and the performance of a face recognition system. The regression model can predict the overall quality of a facial sample which reflects the effects of various quality factors on that sample. The authors evaluated the quality estimation model on the Extended Yale Database B, finally formulating a data set of samples which will enable efficient implementation of biometric facial recognition.

Beauty estimation is a common method for landscape quality estimation, although it has some limitations. With eye tracker, the visual behaviors of the subjects during the estimation can be recorded. Through the analyses of heat maps, path maps and eye movement data, the psychological changes of the subjects and the underlying law of beauty aesthetic can be understood, which will provide supplementation to beauty estimation. This paper studied the beauty estimation of urban waterfront parks and proofed that the landscape quality estimation method focussing on beauty estimation and assisted by eye movement tracking is feasible. It can improve the objectiveness and accuracy of landscape quality estimation to some extent and provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects and combination law of landscape characteristic elements.

A multitude of image-based machine learning segmentation and classification algorithms has recently been proposed, offering diagnostic decision support for the identification and characterization of glioma, Covid-19 and many other diseases. Even though these algorithms often outperform human experts in segmentation tasks, their limited reliability, and in particular the inability to detect failure cases, has hindered translation into clinical practice. To address this major shortcoming, we propose an unsupervised quality estimation method for segmentation ensembles. Our primitive solution examines discord in binary segmentation maps to automatically flag segmentation results that are particularly error-prone and therefore require special assessment by human readers. We validate our method both on segmentation of brain glioma in multi-modal magnetic resonance - and of lung lesions in computer tomography images. Additionally, our method provides an adaptive prioritization mechanism to maximize efficacy in use of human expert time by enabling radiologists to focus on the most difficult, yet important cases while maintaining full diagnostic autonomy. Our method offers an intuitive and reliable uncertainty estimation from segmentation ensembles and thereby closes an important gap toward successful translation of automatic segmentation into clinical routine.
