Although the quality inspection method of polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCE) based on macroperformance is still widely used, it has the drawbacks of time-consuming and low precision. This study aims to develop a practicable alternative method for quality inspection of PCE. For this, spectra collection, feature extraction, and cluster analysis were performed up on the PCE samples to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. Also, a new similarity calculation method was introduced in this work. Results show that the solid PCE sample for spectrum collection can be prepared using the simple heating method. High-quality spectra can be rapidly collected by infrared spectrometer combined with ATR accessory. Meanwhile, the accuracy of classification and clustering is high, suggesting that the feature extraction method based on principal component analysis (PCA) is effective. In addition, compared with conventional similarity calculation methods of cosine angle and correlation coefficient, the new similarity calculation method achieves better classification results and better generalization ability. This work provides a method of quantitative analysis and rapid identification of PCE for the construction site.

To address the problem that the dimension of the feature vector extracted by Local Binary Pattern (LBP) for face recognition is too high and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) extract features are not the best classification features, an efficient feature extraction method using LBP, PCA and Maximum scatter difference (MSD) has been introduced in this paper. The original face image is firstly divided into sub-images, then the LBP operator is applied to extract the histogram feature. and the feature dimensions are further reduced by using PCA. Finally,MSD is performed on the reduced PCA-based feature.The experimental results on ORL and Yale database demonstrate that the proposed method can classify more effectively and can get higher recognition rate than the traditional recognition methods.

Features extraction is an essential process in identifying person biometrics because the effectiveness of the system depends on it. Multiresolution Analysis success can be used in the system of a person’s identification and pattern recognition. In this paper, we present a feature extraction method for two-dimensional face and iris authentication.  Our approach is a combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and curvelet transform as an improved fusion approach for feature extraction. The proposed fusion approach involves image denoising using 2D-Curvelet transform to achieve compact representations of curves singularities. This is followed by the application of PCA as a fusion rule to improve upon the spatial resolution. The limitations of the only PCA algorithm are a poor recognition speed and complex mathematical calculating load, to reduce these limitations, we are applying the curvelet transform. <br /> To assess the performance of the presented method, we have employed three classification techniques: Neural networks (NN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector machines (SVM).<br />The results reveal that the extraction of image features is more efficient using Curvelet/PCA.

Adaboost Viola-Jones method is indeed a profound discovery in detecting face images mainly because it is fast, light and one of the easiest methods of detecting face images among other techniques of face detection. Viola Jones uses Haar wavelet filter to detect face images and it produces almost 80%accuracy of face detection. This paper discusses proposed methodology and algorithms that involved larger library of filters used to create more discrimination features among the images by processing the proposed 15 Haar rectangular features (an extension from 4 Haar wavelet filters of Viola Jones) and used them in multiple adaptive ensemble process of detecting face image. After facial detection, the process continues with normalization processes by applying feature extraction such as PCA combined with LDA or LPP to extract our week learners’ wavelet for more classification features. Upon the process of feature extraction proposed feature selection to index these extracted data. These extracted vectors are used for training and creating MADBoost (Multiple Adaptive Diversified Boost)(an improvement of Adaboost, which uses multiple feature extraction methods combined with multiple classifiers) is able to capture, recognize and distinguish face image (s) faster. MADBoost applies the ensemble approach with better weights for classification to produce better face recognition results. Three experiments have been conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed MADBoost with three other classifiers, Neural Network (NN), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Adaboost classifiers using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as the feature extraction method. These experiments were tested against obstacles of POIES (Pose, Obstruction, Illumination, Expression, Sizes). Based on the results obtained, Madboost is found to be able to improve the recognition performance in matching failures, incorrect matching, matching success percentages and acceptable time taken to perform the classification task.

Feature extraction plays an important role in machine learning for signal processing, particularly for low-dimensional data visualization and predictive analytics. Data from real-world complex systems are often high-dimensional, multi-scale, and non-stationary. Extracting key features of this type of data is challenging. This work proposes a novel approach to analyze Epileptic EEG signals using both wavelet power spectra and functional principal component analysis. We focus on how the feature extraction method can help improve the separation of signals in a low-dimensional feature subspace. By transforming EEG signals into wavelet power spectra, the functionality of signals is significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the power spectra transformation makes functional principal component analysis suitable for extracting key signal features. Therefore, we refer to this approach as a double feature extraction method since both wavelet transform and functional PCA are feature extractors. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method, we have tested it using a set of publicly available epileptic EEGs and patient-specific, multi-channel EEG signals, for both ictal signals and pre-ictal signals. The obtained results demonstrate that combining wavelet power spectra and functional principal component analysis is promising for feature extraction of epileptic EEGs. Therefore, they can be useful in computer-based medical systems for epilepsy diagnosis and epileptic seizure detection problems.

The vast majority of medical problems are characterised by the relatively high spatial dimensionality of the task, which becomes problematic for many classic pattern recognition algorithms due to the well-known phenomenon of the curse of dimensionality. This creates the need to develop methods of space reduction, divided into strategies for the selection and extraction of features. The most commonly used tool of the second group is the PCA, which, unlike selection methods, does not select a subset of the original set of features and performs its mathematical transformation into a less dimensional form. However, natural downside of this algorithm is the fact that class context is not present in supervised learning tasks. This work proposes a feature extraction algorithm using the approach of the pca method, trying not only to reduce the feature space, but also trying to separate the class distributions in the available learning set. The problematic issue of the work was the creation of a method of feature extraction describing the prognosis for a chronic lymphocytic leukemia type B-CLL, which will be at least as good, or even better than when compared to other quality extractions. The purpose of the research was accomplished for binary and three-class cases in the event in which for verification of extraction quality, five algorithms of machine learning were applied. The obtained results were compared with the application of paired samples Wilcoxon test.

In this article we propose a polygonal principal curve based nonlinear feature extraction method, which achieves statistical redundancy elimination without loss of information and provides more robust nonlinear pattern identification for high-dimensional data. Recognizing the limitations of linear statistical methods, this article integrates local principal component analysis (PCA) with a polygonal line algorithm to approximate the complicated nonlinear data structure. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can be implemented to reduce the computation complexity for nonlinear feature extraction in multivariate cases.
