Myoelectric control prostheses hand are currently popular developing clinical option that offers amputee person to control their artificial hand by analyzing the contacting muscle residual. Myoelectric control system contains three main phase which are data segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The main factor that affect the performance of myoelectric control system is the choice of feature extraction methods. There are two types of feature extraction technique used to extract the signal which are the Hudgins feature consist of Zero Crossing, Waveform Length (WL), Sign Scope Change (SSC) and Mean Absolute Value (MAV), the single Root Mean Square (RMS). Then, the combination of both is proposed in this study. An analysis of these different techniques result were examine to achieve a favorable classification accuracy (CA). Our outcomes demonstrate that the combination of RMS and Hudgins feature set demonstrate the best average classification accuracy for all ten fingers developments. The classification process implemented in this studies is using Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique.

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 this paper, a novel feature extraction technique called SuperMNF is proposed, which is an extension of the minimum noise fraction (MNF) transformation. In SuperMNF, each superpixel has its own transformation matrix and MNF transformation is performed on each superpixel individually. The basic idea behind the SuperMNF is that each superpixel contains its specific signal and noise covariance matrices which are different from the adjacent superpixels. The extracted features, owning spatial-spectral content and provided in the lower dimension, are classified by maximum likelihood classifier and support vector machines. Experiments that are conducted on two real hyperspectral images, named Indian Pines and Pavia University, demonstrate the efficiency of SuperMNF since it yielded more promising results than some other feature extraction methods (MNF, PCA, SuperPCA, KPCA, and MMP).

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.

The aim of the study is to compare electroencephalographic (EEG) signal feature extraction methods in the context of the effectiveness of the classification of brain activities. For classification, electroencephalographic signals were obtained using an EEG device from 17 subjects in three mental states (relaxation, excitation, and solving logical task). Blind source separation employing independent component analysis (ICA) was performed on obtained signals. Welch’s method, autoregressive modeling, and discrete wavelet transform were used for feature extraction. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed in order to reduce the dimensionality of feature vectors. k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Neural Networks (NN) were employed for classification. Precision, recall, F1 score, as well as a discussion based on statistical analysis, were shown. The paper also contains code utilized in preprocessing and the main part of experiments.

Feature extraction is an important step in electroencephalogram (EEG) processing of motor imagery, and the feature extraction of EEG directly affects the final classification results. Through the analysis of various feature extraction methods, this article finally selects Common Spatial Patterns (CSP) and wavelet packet analysis (WPA) to extract the feature and uses Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify and compare these extracted features. For the EEG data provided by GRAZ University, the accuracy rate of feature extraction using CSP algorithm is 85.5%, and the accuracy rate of feature extraction using wavelet packet analysis is 92%. Then this paper analyzes the EEG data collected by Emotiv epoc+ system. The classification accuracy of wavelet packet extracted features can still be maintained at more than 80%, while the classification accuracy of CSP extracted feature is decreased obviously. Experimental results show that the method of wavelet packet analysis towards competition data and Emotiv epoc+ system data can both get a desirable outcome.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a powerful tool for detecting objects buried underground. However, the interpretation of the acquired signals remains a challenging task since an experienced user is required to manage the entire operation. Particularly difficult is the classification of the material type of underground objects in noisy environment. This paper proposes a new feature extraction method. First, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) transforms A-Scan data and approximation coefficients are extracted. Then, fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is used to transform approximation coefficients into fractional domain and we extract features. The features are supplied to the support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to automatically identify underground objects material. Experiment results show that the proposed feature-based SVM system has good performances in classification accuracy compared to statistical and frequency domain feature-based SVM system in noisy environment and the classification accuracy of features proposed in this paper has little relationship with the SVM models.

Blood is essential to life. The number of blood cells plays a significant role in observing an individual’s health status. Having a lower or higher number of blood cells than normal may be a sign of various diseases. Thus it is important to precisely classify blood cells and count them to diagnose different health conditions. In this paper, we focused on classifying white blood cells subtypes (WBC) which are the basic parts of the immune system. Classification of WBC subtypes is very useful for diagnosing diseases, infections, and disorders. Deep learning technologies have the potential to enhance the process and results of WBC classification. This study presented two fine-tuned CNN models and four hybrid CNN-based models to classify WBC. The VGG-16 and MobileNet are the CNN architectures used for both feature extraction and classification in fine-tuned models. The same CNN architectures are used for feature extraction in hybrid models; however, the Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) are the classifiers used for classification. Among all models, the fine-tuned VGG-16 performs best, its classification accuracy is 99.81%. Our hybrid models are efficient in detecting WBC as well. 98.44% is the classification accuracy of the VGG-16+SVM model, and 98.19% is the accuracy of the MobileNet+SVM.

The interpretation of well-testing data is a key means of decision-making support for oil and gas field development. However, conventional processing methods have many problems, such as the stochastic nature of the data, feature redundancies, the randomness of the initial weights or thresholds, and fluctuations in the generalization ability with slight changes in the network parameters. These result in a poor ability to characterize data features and a low generalization ability of the interpretation models. We propose a new integrated well-testing interpretation model based on a multi-feature extraction method and deep mutual information classifiers (MFE-DMIC). This model can avoid the low model classification accuracy caused by the simple training structures, lacking of redundancy elimination, and the non-optimal classifier configuration parameters. First, we obtained the initial features according to four classical feature extraction methods. Then, we eliminated feature redundancies using a deep belief network and united the maximum information coefficient method to achieve feature purification. Finally, we calculated the interpretation results using a hybrid particle swarm optimization–support vector machine classification system. We used 572 well-testing field samples, including five working stages, for model training and testing. The results show that the MFE-DMIC model had the highest total stage classification accuracy of 98.18% as well as the least of features (nine) compared with the classical feature extraction and classification methods and their combinations. The proposed model can reduce the efforts of oil analysts and allow accurate labeling of samples to be predicted.
