Seam Pucker

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel method using support vector machine (SVM) classifiers for objective seam pucker evaluation. Features are extracted using wavelet analysis and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), and the samples are evaluated using SVM classifiers. The study aims to solve the problem of inappropriate parameters and large required samples in objective seam pucker evaluation. Design/methodology/approach Initially, seam pucker image was captured, and Edge detection and Hough transform were utilized to normalize the seam position and orientation. After cropping the image, the intensity was adjusted to the same identical level through histogram specification. Then, the standard deviations of the horizontal image and diagonal image, reconstructed using wavelet decomposition and reconstruction, were calculated based on parameter optimization. Meanwhile, GLCM was extracted from the restructured horizontal detail image, then the contrast and correlation of GLCM were calculated. Finally, these four features were imported to SVM classifiers based on genetic algorithm for evaluation. Findings The four extracted features reflected linear relationships among five grades. The experimental results showed that the classification accuracy was 96 percent, which catches up to the performance of human vision, and resolves ambiguity and subjective of the manual evaluation. Originality/value There are large required samples in current research. This paper provides a novel method using finite samples, and the parameters of the methods were discussed for parameter optimization. The evaluation results can provide references for analyzing the reason of wrinkles during garment manufacturing.

The early detection and intervention of artery stenosis is very important to reduce the mortality of cardiovascular disease. A novel method for predicting artery stenosis was proposed by using the input impedance of the systemic arterial tree and support vector machine (SVM). Based on the built transmission line model of a 55-segment systemic arterial tree, the input impedance of the arterial tree was calculated by using a recursive algorithm. A sample database of the input impedance was established by specifying the different positions and degrees of artery stenosis. A SVM prediction model was trained by using the sample database. 10-fold cross-validation was used to evaluate the performance of the SVM. The effects of stenosis position and degree on the accuracy of the prediction were discussed. The results showed that the mean specificity, sensitivity and overall accuracy of the SVM are 80.2%, 98.2% and 89.2%, respectively, for the 50% threshold of stenosis degree. Increasing the threshold of the stenosis degree from 10% to 90% increases the overall accuracy from 82.2% to 97.4%. Increasing the distance of the stenosis artery from the heart gradually decreases the overall accuracy from 97.1% to 58%. The deterioration of the stenosis degree to 90% increases the prediction accuracy of the SVM to more than 90% for the stenosis of peripheral artery. The simulation demonstrated theoretically the feasibility of the proposed method for predicting artery stenosis via the input impedance of the systemic arterial tree and SVM.

AbstractComputer vision recognition refers to the use of cameras and computers to replace the human eyes with computer vision, such as target recognition, tracking, measurement, and in-depth graphics processing, to process images to make them more suitable for human vision. Aiming at the problem of combining basketball shooting technology with visual recognition motion capture technology, this article mainly introduces the research of basketball shooting technology based on computer vision recognition fusion motion capture technology. This paper proposes that this technology first performs preprocessing operations such as background removal and filtering denoising on the acquired shooting video images to obtain the action characteristics of the characters in the video sequence and then uses the support vector machine (SVM) and the Gaussian mixture model to obtain the characteristics of the objects. Part of the data samples are extracted from the sample set for the learning and training of the model. After the training is completed, the other parts are classified and recognized. The simulation test results of the action database and the real shot video show that the support vector machine (SVM) can more quickly and effectively identify the actions that appear in the shot video, and the average recognition accuracy rate reaches 95.9%, which verifies the application and feasibility of this technology in the recognition of shooting actions is conducive to follow up and improve shooting techniques.

Opposition Based Learning

Purpose Sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is a novel global optimization method, but it is easy to fall into local optimization, which leads to its poor search accuracy and stability. The purpose of this study is to propose an improved SSA algorithm, called levy flight and opposition-based learning (LOSSA), based on LOSSA strategy. The LOSSA shows better search accuracy, faster convergence speed and stronger stability. Design/methodology/approach To further enhance the optimization performance of the algorithm, The Levy flight operation is introduced into the producers search process of the original SSA to enhance the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum. The opposition-based learning strategy generates better solutions for SSA, which is beneficial to accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm. On the one hand, the performance of the LOSSA is evaluated by a set of numerical experiments based on classical benchmark functions. On the other hand, the hyper-parameter optimization problem of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) is also used to test the ability of LOSSA to solve practical problems. Findings First of all, the effectiveness of the two improved methods is verified by Wilcoxon signed rank test. Second, the statistical results of the numerical experiment show the significant improvement of the LOSSA compared with the original algorithm and other natural heuristic algorithms. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the LOSSA in solving the hyper-parameter optimization problem of machine learning algorithms are demonstrated. Originality/value An improved SSA based on LOSSA is proposed in this paper. The experimental results show that the overall performance of the LOSSA is satisfactory. Compared with the SSA and other natural heuristic algorithms, the LOSSA shows better search accuracy, faster convergence speed and stronger stability. Moreover, the LOSSA also showed great optimization performance in the hyper-parameter optimization of the SVM model.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to propose an effective unsupervised one-class-classifier (OCC) support vector machine (SVM)-based single multivariate control chart (OCC-SVM) to simultaneously monitor “location” and “scale” shifts of a manufacturing process.Design/methodology/approachThe step-by-step approach to developing, implementing and fine-tuning the intrinsic parameters of the OCC-SVM chart is demonstrated based on simulation and two real-life case examples.FindingsA comparative study, considering varied known and unknown response distributions, indicates that the OCC-SVM is highly effective in detecting process shifts of samples with individual observations. OCC-SVM chart also shows promising results for samples with a rational subgroup of observations. In addition, the results also indicate that the performance of OCC-SVM is unaffected by the small reference sample size.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample responses are considered identically distributed with no significant multivariate autocorrelation between sample observations.Practical implicationsThe proposed easy-to-implement chart shows satisfactory performance to detect an out-of-control signal with known or unknown response distributions.Originality/valueVarious multivariate (e.g. parametric or nonparametric) control chart(s) are recommended to monitor the mean (e.g. location) and variance (e.g. scale) of multiple correlated responses in a manufacturing process. However, real-life implementation of a parametric control chart may be complex due to its restrictive response distribution assumptions. There is no evidence of work in the open literature that demonstrates the suitability of an unsupervised OCC-SVM chart to simultaneously monitor “location” and “scale” shifts of multivariate responses. Thus, a new efficient OCC-SVM single chart approach is proposed to address this gap to monitor a multivariate manufacturing process with unknown response distributions.

Image Representations

Support vector machine (SVM) image coding relies on the ability of SVMs for function approximation. The size and the profile of the e-insensitivity zone of the support vector regression (SVR) at some specific image representation determines (a) the amount of selected support vectors (the compression ratio), and (b) the nature of the introduced error (the compression distortion). However, the selection of an appropriate image representation is a key issue for a meaningful design of the e-insensitivity profile. For example, in image coding applications, taking human perception into account is of paramount relevance to obtain a good rate-distortion performance. However, depending on the accuracy of the considered perception model, certain image representations are not suitable for SVR training. In this chapter, we analyze the general procedure to take human vision models into account in SVR-based image coding. Specifically, we derive the condition for image representation selection and the associated e-insensitivity profiles.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a nonlinear model for aeroelastic aircraft that can predict the flight parameters throughout the investigated flight envelopes. Design/methodology/approach A system identification method based on the support vector machine (SVM) is developed and applied to the nonlinear dynamics of an aeroelastic aircraft. In the proposed non-parametric gray-box method, force and moment coefficients are estimated based on the state variables, flight conditions and control commands. Then, flight parameters are estimated using aircraft equations of motion. Nonlinear system identification is performed using the SVM network by minimizing errors between the calculated and estimated force and moment coefficients. To that end, a least squares algorithm is used as the training rule to optimize the generalization bound given for the regression. Findings The results confirm that the SVM is successful at the aircraft system identification. The precision of the SVM model is preserved when the models are excited by input commands different from the training ones. Also, the generalization of the SVM model is acceptable at non-trained flight conditions within the trained flight conditions. Considering the precision and generalization of the model, the results indicate that the SVM is more successful than the well-known methods such as artificial neural networks. Practical implications In this paper, both the simulated and real flight data of the F/A-18 aircraft are used to provide aeroelastic models for its lateral-directional dynamics. Originality/value This paper proposes a non-parametric system identification method for aeroelastic aircraft based on the SVM method for the first time. Up to the author’s best knowledge, the SVM is not used for the aircraft system identification or the aircraft parameter estimation until now.

Remote sensing has been widely used in vegetation cover research but is rarely used for intercropping area monitoring. To investigate the efficiency of Chinese Gaofen satellite imagery, in this study the GF-1 and GF-2 of Moyu County south of the Tarim Basin were studied. Based on Chinese GF-1 and GF-2 satellite imagery features, this study has developed a comprehensive feature extraction and intercropping classification scheme. Textural features derived from a Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and vegetation features derived from multi-temporal GF-1 and GF-2 satellites were introduced and combined into three different groups. The rotation forest method was then adopted based on a Support Vector Machine (RoF-SVM), which offers the advantage of using an SVM algorithm and that boosts the diversity of individual base classifiers by a rotation forest. The combined spectral-textural-multitemporal features achieved the best classification result. The results were compared with those of the maximum likelihood classifier, support vector machine and random forest method. It is shown that the RoF-SVM algorithm for the combined spectral-textural-multitemporal features can effectively classify an intercropping area (overall accuracy of 86.87% and kappa coefficient of 0.78), and the classification result effectively eliminated salt and pepper noise. Furthermore, the GF-1 and GF-2 satellite images combined with spectral, textural, and multi-temporal features can provide sufficient information on vegetation cover located in an extremely complex and diverse intercropping area.
