The existing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image target detection methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved remarkable performance, but these methods require a large number of target-level labeled training samples to train the network. Moreover, some clutter is very similar to targets in SAR images with complex scenes, making the target detection task very difficult. Therefore, a SAR target detection network based on a semi-supervised learning and attention mechanism is proposed in this paper. Since the image-level label simply marks whether the image contains the target of interest or not, which is easier to be labeled than the target-level label, the proposed method uses a small number of target-level labeled training samples and a large number of image-level labeled training samples to train the network with a semi-supervised learning algorithm. The proposed network consists of a detection branch and a scene recognition branch with a feature extraction module and an attention module shared between these two branches. The feature extraction module can extract the deep features of the input SAR images, and the attention module can guide the network to focus on the target of interest while suppressing the clutter. During the semi-supervised learning process, the target-level labeled training samples will pass through the detection branch, while the image-level labeled training samples will pass through the scene recognition branch. During the test process, considering the help of global scene information in SAR images for detection, a novel coarse-to-fine detection procedure is proposed. After the coarse scene recognition determining whether the input SAR image contains the target of interest or not, the fine target detection is performed on the image that may contain the target. The experimental results based on the measured SAR dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than the existing methods.

Instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) are intelligent electronic sensing tools for which the primary application is the generation of odour metrics that are indicators of odour as perceived by human observers. The quality of the odour sensor signal, the mathematical treatment of the acquired data, and the validation of the correlation of the odour metric are key topics to control in order to ensure a robust and reliable measurement. The research presents and discusses the use of different pattern recognition and feature extraction techniques in the elaboration and effectiveness of the odour classification monitoring model (OCMM). The effect of the rise, intermediate, and peak period from the original response curve, in collaboration with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a pattern recognition algorithm, were investigated. Laboratory analyses were performed with real odour samples collected in a complex industrial plant, using an advanced smart IOMS. The results demonstrate the influence of the choice of method on the quality of the OCMM produced. The peak period in combination with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) highlighted the best combination on the basis of high classification rates. The paper provides information to develop a solution to optimize the performance of IOMS.

Classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals plays an important role in clinical diagnosis of heart disease. This paper proposes the design of an efficient system for classification of the normal beat (N), ventricular ectopic beat (V), supraventricular ectopic beat (S), fusion beat (F), and unknown beat (Q) using a mixture of features. In this paper, two different feature extraction methods are proposed for classification of ECG beats: (i) S-transform based features along with temporal features and (ii) mixture of ST and WT based features along with temporal features. The extracted feature set is independently classified using multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN). The performances are evaluated on several normal and abnormal ECG signals from 44 recordings of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. In this work, the performances of three feature extraction techniques with MLP-NN classifier are compared using five classes of ECG beat recommended by AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards. The average sensitivity performances of the proposed feature extraction technique for N, S, F, V, and Q are 95.70%, 78.05%, 49.60%, 89.68%, and 33.89%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed feature extraction techniques show better performances compared to other existing features extraction techniques.
