The feature extraction of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals has been an important aspect of myoelectric prosthesis control. To improve the practicability of myoelectric prosthetic hands, we proposed a feature extraction method for sEMG signals that uses wavelet weighted permutation entropy (WWPE). First, wavelet transform was used to decompose and preprocess sEMG signals collected from the relevant muscles of the upper limbs to obtain the wavelet sub-bands in each frequency segment. Then, the weighted permutation entropies (WPEs) of the wavelet sub-bands were extracted to construct WWPE feature set. Lastly, the WWPE feature set was used as input to a support vector machine (SVM) classifier and a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) classifier to recognize seven hand movements. Experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits remarkable recognition accuracy that is superior to those of single sub-band feature set and commonly used time-domain feature set. The maximum recognition accuracy rate is 100% for hand movements, and the average recognition accuracy rates of SVM and BPNN are 100% and 98%, respectively.

Feature Extraction Method

This paper proposes a new feature extraction method for off-line recognition of Myanmar printed documents. One of the most important factors to achieve high recognition performance in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system is the selection of the feature extraction methods. Different types of existing OCR systems used various feature extraction methods because of the diversity of the scripts’ natures. One major contribution of the work in this paper is the design of logically rigorous coding based features. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper assumed the documents are successfully segmented into characters and extracted features from these isolated Myanmar characters. These features are extracted using structural analysis of the Myanmar scripts. The experimental results have been carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and compare the pervious proposed feature extraction method.

Aircraft Type

Aircraft type recognition plays an important role in remote sensing image interpretation. Traditional methods suffer from bad generalization performance, while deep learning methods require large amounts of data with type labels, which are quite expensive and time-consuming to obtain. To overcome the aforementioned problems, in this paper, we propose an aircraft type recognition framework based on conditional generative adversarial networks (GANs). First, we design a new method to precisely detect aircrafts’ keypoints, which are used to generate aircraft masks and locate the positions of the aircrafts. Second, a conditional GAN with a region of interest (ROI)-weighted loss function is trained on unlabeled aircraft images and their corresponding masks. Third, an ROI feature extraction method is carefully designed to extract multi-scale features from the GAN in the regions of aircrafts. After that, a linear support vector machine (SVM) classifier is adopted to classify each sample using their features. Benefiting from the GAN, we can learn features which are strong enough to represent aircrafts based on a large unlabeled dataset. Additionally, the ROI-weighted loss function and the ROI feature extraction method make the features more related to the aircrafts rather than the background, which improves the quality of features and increases the recognition accuracy significantly. Thorough experiments were conducted on a challenging dataset, and the results prove the effectiveness of the proposed aircraft type recognition framework.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is an electrophysiological reflection of skeletal muscle contractile activity that can directly reflect neuromuscular activity. It has been a matter of research to investigate feature extraction methods of sEMG signals. In this letter, we propose a feature extraction method of sEMG signals based on the improved small-world leaky echo state network (ISWLESN). The reservoir of leaky echo state network (LESN) is connected by a random network. First, we improved the reservoir of the echo state network (ESN) by these networks and used edge-added probability to improve these networks. That idea enhances the adaptability of the reservoir, the generalization ability, and the stability of ESN. Then we obtained the output weight of the network through training and used it as features. We recorded the sEMG signals during different activities: falling, walking, sitting, squatting, going upstairs, and going downstairs. Afterward, we extracted corresponding features by ISWLESN and used principal component analysis for dimension reduction. At the end, scatter plot, the class separability index, and the Davies-Bouldin index were used to assess the performance of features. The results showed that the ISWLESN clustering performance was better than those of LESN and ESN. By support vector machine, it was also revealed that the performance of ISWLESN for classifying the activities was better than those of ESN and LESN.

To improve the feature extraction of ship-radiated noise in a complex ocean environment, fluctuation-based dispersion entropy is used to extract the features of ten types of ship-radiated noise. Since fluctuation-based dispersion entropy only analyzes the ship-radiated noise signal in single scale and it cannot distinguish different types of ship-radiated noise effectively, a new method of ship-radiated noise feature extraction is proposed based on fluctuation-based dispersion entropy (FDispEn) and intrinsic time-scale decomposition (ITD). Firstly, ten types of ship-radiated noise signals are decomposed into a series of proper rotation components (PRCs) by ITD, and the FDispEn of each PRC is calculated. Then, the correlation between each PRC and the original signal are calculated, and the FDispEn of each PRC is analyzed to select the Max-relative PRC fluctuation-based dispersion entropy as the feature parameter. Finally, by comparing the Max-relative PRC fluctuation-based dispersion entropy of a certain number of the above ten types of ship-radiated noise signals with FDispEn, it is discovered that the Max-relative PRC fluctuation-based dispersion entropy is at the same level for similar ship-radiated noise, but is distinct for different types of ship-radiated noise. The Max-relative PRC fluctuation-based dispersion entropy as the feature vector is sent into the support vector machine (SVM) classifier to classify and recognize ten types of ship-radiated noise. The experimental results demonstrate that the recognition rate of the proposed method reaches 95.8763%. Consequently, the proposed method can effectively achieve the classification of ship-radiated noise.

Due to the complexity and variability of underwater acoustic channels, ship-radiated noise (SRN) detected using the passive sonar is prone to be distorted. The entropy-based feature extraction method can improve this situation, to some extent. However, it is impractical to directly extract the entropy feature for the detected SRN signals. In addition, the existing conventional methods have a lack of suitable de-noising processing under the presence of marine environmental noise. To this end, this paper proposes a novel feature extraction method based on enhanced variational mode decomposition (EVMD), normalized correlation coefficient (norCC), permutation entropy (PE), and the particle swarm optimization-based support vector machine (PSO-SVM). Firstly, EVMD is utilized to obtain a group of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from the SRN signals. The noise-dominant IMFs are then eliminated by a de-noising processing prior to PE calculation. Next, the correlation coefficient between each signal-dominant IMF and the raw signal and PE of each signal-dominant IMF are calculated, respectively. After this, the norCC is used to weigh the corresponding PE and the sum of these weighted PE is considered as the final feature parameter. Finally, the feature vectors are fed into the PSO-SVM multi-class classifier to classify the SRN samples. The experimental results demonstrate that the recognition rate of the proposed methodology is up to 100%, which is much higher than the currently existing methods. Hence, the method proposed in this paper is more suitable for the feature extraction of SRN signals.

The field of biometrics has evolved tremendously for over the last century. Yet scientists are still continuing to come up with precise and efficient algorithms to facilitate automatic fingerprint recognition systems. Like other applications, an efficient feature extraction method plays an important role in fingerprint based recognition systems. This paper proposes a novel feature extraction method using minutiae points of a fingerprint image and their intersections. In this method, initially, it calculates the ridge ends and ridge bifurcations of each fingerprint image. And then, it estimates the minutiae points for the intersection of each ridge end and ridge bifurcation. In the experimental evaluation, we tested the extracted features of our proposed model using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier and experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately classify different fingerprint images.

Comparison Results

The identification of drug-target interactions (DTIs) plays a crucial role in drug discovery. However, the traditional high-throughput techniques based on clinical trials are costly, cumbersome, and time-consuming for identifying DTIs. Hence, new intelligent computational methods are urgently needed to surmount these defects in predicting DTIs. In this paper, we propose a novel computational method that combines position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM), elastic net based sparse features extraction, and rotation forest (RF) classifier. Specifically, we converted each protein primary sequence into PSSM, which contains biological evolutionary information. Then we extract the hidden sparse feature descriptors in PSSM by elastic net based sparse feature extraction method (ESFE). After that, we fuse them with the features of drug, which are represented by molecular fingerprints. Finally, rotation forest classifier works on detecting the potential drug-target interactions. When performing the proposed method by the experiments of fivefold cross validation (CV) on enzyme, ion channel, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and nuclear receptor datasets, this method achieves average accuracies of 90.32%, 88.91%, 80.65%, and 79.73%, respectively. We also compared the proposed model with the state-of-the-art support vector machine (SVM) classifier and other effective methods on the same datasets. The comparison results distinctly indicate that the proposed model possesses the efficient and robust ability to predict DTIs. We expect that the new model will be able to take effects on predicting massive DTIs.

The Impact

To intelligentize the top-coal caving’s process, many data-driven coal-gangue recognition techniques have been proposed recently. However, practical applications of these techniques are hindered by coal mine underground’s high background noise and complex environment. Considering that workers distinguish coal and gangue by hearing the impact sounds on the hydraulic support, we proposed a novel feature extraction method based on an auditory nerve (AN) response model simulating the human auditory system. Firstly, vibration signals were measured by an acceleration sensor mounted on the back of the hydraulic support’s tail beam, and then they were converted into acoustic pressure signals. Secondly, an AN response model of different characteristic frequencies was applied to process these signals, whose output constituted the auditory spectrum for feature extraction. Meanwhile, a feature selection method integrated with variance was used to reduce redundant information of the original features. Finally, a support vector machine was employed as the classifier model in this work. The proposed method was tested and evaluated on experimental datasets collected from the Tashan Coal Mine in China. In addition, its recognition accuracy was compared with other coal-gangue recognition methods based on commonly used features. The results show that our proposed method can reach a superior recognition accuracy of 99.23% and presents better generalization ability.
