Classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is important in mental decoding for brain-computer interfaces (BCI). We introduced a feature extraction approach based on frequency domain analysis to improve the classification performance on different mental tasks using single-channel EEG. This biologically inspired method extracts the most discriminative spectral features from power spectral densities (PSDs) of the EEG signals. We applied our method on a dataset of six subjects who performed five different imagination tasks: (i) resting state, (ii) mental arithmetic, (iii) imagination of left hand movement, (iv) imagination of right hand movement, and (v) imagination of letter “A.” Pairwise and multiclass classifications were performed in single EEG channel using Linear Discriminant Analysis and Support Vector Machines. Our method produced results (mean classification accuracy of 83.06% for binary classification and 91.85% for multiclassification) that are on par with the state-of-the-art methods, using single-channel EEG with low computational cost. Among all task pairs, mental arithmetic versus letter imagination yielded the best result (mean classification accuracy of 90.29%), indicating that this task pair could be the most suitable pair for a binary class BCI. This study contributes to the development of single-channel BCI, as well as finding the best task pair for user defined applications.

Aroma plays a significant role in the quality of citrus fruits and processed products. The detection and analysis of citrus volatiles can be measured by an electronic nose (E-nose); in this paper, an E-nose is employed to classify the juice which is stored for different days. Feature extraction and classification are two important requirements for an E-nose. During the training process, a classifier can optimize its own parameters to achieve a better classification accuracy but cannot decide its input data which is treated by feature extraction methods, so the classification result is not always ideal. Label consistent KSVD (L-KSVD) is a novel technique which can extract the feature and classify the data at the same time, and such an operation can improve the classification accuracy. We propose an enhanced L-KSVD called E-LCKSVD for E-nose in this paper. During E-LCKSVD, we introduce a kernel function to the traditional L-KSVD and present a new initialization technique of its dictionary; finally, the weighted coefficients of different parts of its object function is studied, and enhanced quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (EQPSO) is employed to optimize these coefficients. During the experimental section, we firstly find the classification accuracy of KSVD, and L-KSVD is improved with the help of the kernel function; this can prove that their ability of dealing nonlinear data is improved. Then, we compare the results of different dictionary initialization techniques and prove our proposed method is better. Finally, we find the optimal value of the weighted coefficients of the object function of E-LCKSVD that can make E-nose reach a better performance.

In recent years, with the rapid development of computer vision, increasing attention has been paid to remote sensing image scene classification. To improve the classification performance, many studies have increased the depth of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and expanded the width of the network to extract more deep features, thereby increasing the complexity of the model. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a lightweight convolutional neural network based on attention-oriented multi-branch feature fusion (AMB-CNN) for remote sensing image scene classification. Firstly, we propose two convolution combination modules for feature extraction, through which the deep features of images can be fully extracted with multi convolution cooperation. Then, the weights of the feature are calculated, and the extracted deep features are sent to the attention mechanism for further feature extraction. Next, all of the extracted features are fused by multiple branches. Finally, depth separable convolution and asymmetric convolution are implemented to greatly reduce the number of parameters. The experimental results show that, compared with some state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method still has a great advantage in classification accuracy with very few parameters.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deal with the classification improvement of pollutant using WO3 gases sensors. To evaluate the discrimination capacity, some experiments were achieved using three gases: ozone, ethanol, acetone and a mixture of ozone and ethanol via four WO3 sensors. Design/methodology/approach To improve the classification accuracy and enhance selectivity, some combined features that were configured through the principal component analysis were used. First, evaluate the discrimination capacity; some experiments were performed using three gases: ozone, ethanol, acetone and a mixture of ozone and ethanol, via four WO3 sensors. To this end, three features that are derivate, integral and the time corresponding to the peak derivate have been extracted from each transient sensor response according to four WO3 gas sensors used. Then these extracted parameters were used in a combined array. Findings The results show that the proposed feature extraction method could extract robust information. The Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) was used to identify the studied gases. In addition, ELM was compared with the Support Vector Machine (SVM). The experimental results prove the superiority of the combined features method in our E-nose application, as this method achieves the highest classification rate of 90% using the ELM and 93.03% using the SVM based on Radial Basis Kernel Function SVM-RBF. Originality/value Combined features have been configured from transient response to improve the classification accuracy. The achieved results show that the proposed feature extraction method could extract robust information. The ELM and SVM were used to identify the studied gases.

Image feature extraction and classification is increasingly important in all sectors of the images system management. Aiming at the problems that applying Hu invariant moments to extract image feature computes large and too dimensions, this paper presented Harris corner invariant moments algorithm. This algorithm only calculates corner coordinates, so can reduce the corner matching dimensions. Combined with the SVM (Support Vector Machine) classification method, we conducted a classification for a large number of images, and the result shows that using this algorithm to extract invariant moments and classifying can achieve better classification accuracy.

Feature extraction, as an important method for extracting useful information from surfaceelectromyography (SEMG), can significantly improve pattern recognition accuracy. Time andfrequency analysis methods have been widely used for feature extraction, but these methods analyzeSEMG signals only from the time or frequency domain. Recent studies have shown that featureextraction based on time-frequency analysis methods can extract more useful information fromSEMG signals. This paper proposes a novel time-frequency analysis method based on the Stockwelltransform (S-transform) to improve hand movement recognition accuracy from forearm SEMGsignals. First, the time-frequency analysis method, S-transform, is used for extracting a feature vectorfrom forearm SEMG signals. Second, to reduce the amount of calculations and improve the runningspeed of the classifier, principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensionality reduction of thefeature vector. Finally, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based multilayer perceptron (MLP) is usedfor recognizing hand movements. Experimental results show that the proposed feature extractionbased on the S-transform analysis method can improve the class separability and hand movementrecognition accuracy compared with wavelet transform and power spectral density methods.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are widely used as an effective method for epilepsy analysis and diagnosis. For the establishment of an accurate and efficient epilepsy EEG identification system, it is very important to properly extract the features of EEG signals and select appropriate combination features. This paper proposes an automatic epileptic EEG identification method based on hybrid feature extraction. It uses temporal and frequency domain analysis, nonlinear analysis and one-dimensional local pattern recognition method to extract epileptic EEG features. Gradient energy operator and local speed pattern are proposed to better reflect typical feature in the active EEG signals measured during seizure-free intervals. The genetic algorithm is used to select the obtained hybrid features; then the AdaBoost classifier is used to classify epileptic EEG under various classification conditions. Classification results on the dataset developed by University of Bonn show that the proposed method can be used to classify normal EEG, interictal EEG and seizure activity with only a few features. Compared with related researches using the same dataset, the proposed method can obtain an equally satisfactory classification accuracy while the feature amount is reduced by 61–95%. In particular, the classification accuracy of the interictal and normal EEG can reach 99%.

Spoken language is the most regular method of correspondence in this day and age. Endeavours to create language recognizable proof frameworks for Indian dialects have been very restricted because of the issue of speaker accessibility and language readability. However, the necessity of SLID is expanding for common and safeguard applications day by day. Feature extraction is a basic and important procedure performed in LID. A sound example is changed over into a spectrogram visual portrayal which describes a range of frequencies in regard with time. Three such spectrogram visuals were generated namely Log Spectrogram, Gammatonegram and IIR-CQT Spectrogram for audio samples from the standardized IIIT-H Indic Speech Database. These visual representations depict language specific details and the nature of each language. These spectrograms images were then used as an input to the CNN. Classification accuracy of 98.86% was obtained using the proposed methodology.
