Spatial Support

Retrieval of similar images from large dataset of brain images across patients would help the experts in the decision diagnosis process of diseases. Generally used feature extraction methods are color, texture and shape. In medical images texture and shape features are most efficient. Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) are good descriptor for brain MR image retrieval. But there are many challenges facing in medical application. An empirical study of the impact of increasing bins number in the HOG descriptor concluded that larger the number is more accurate the descriptor is. In fact this is due to the reduction of orientations range that each bin covers. Despite the efficiency of augmenting the bins number, this technique has limited spatial support as the augmentation of the number of bins used leads to increase the histogram dimension. So here proposed a method called Histogram of Fuzzy Oriented Gradients (HFOG), in which a pixel can belong several bins with different degrees. The Local Binary Patterns feature extraction method is widely used for texture analysis; however, the original LBP is based on hard thresholding the neighborhood of each pixel. Therefore, texture representation with LBP is very sensitive to noise and cannot distinguish between a strong and a weak pattern. In this study, Fuzzy Local Binary Patterns was introduced to improve the original LBP.

Periocular Recognition

Abstract Periocular biometrics is a relatively new field of research, and only several publications on this topic can be found in the literature. It can become a promising feature that can be used independently or as a complement to other biometrics. In this work, the recognition rates of periocular biometrics on a single acquisition device and inter-device database is verified and the impact of different image sources on the performance of recognition algorithms is investigated. For this purpose a NearInfrared Light database was collected. The database contains images taken by two acquisition devices. In order to test the periocular biometric trait, three feature extraction methods are chosen: Histograms of Oriented Gradients, Local Binary Patterns and Scale Invariant Feature Transform. The fusion of these methods is also proposed and it is tested on inter-device database. The feasibility of applying periocular recognition as an individual decision module for a biometric system is assessed. Experimental results yield Equal Error Rate of 17.65 for right eye using inter-device database of 640 gallery periocular images for each eye side taken from 32 different individuals (20 images per individual for each eye side). These results are obtained by the optimal weighted sum fusion of the three feature extraction methods.

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.

Acoustic emission (AE) techniques are put forward to monitor rub-impacts between rotating rings and stationary rings of mechanical seals by this paper. By analyzing feature extraction methods of the typical rub-impact AE signal, the method combining of wavelet scalogram and power spectrum is found useful, and can used to attribute the feature information implicated in rub-impact AE signals of mechanical seal end faces. Both simulations and experimental research prove that the method is effective, and are used successfully to identify the typical features of different types of rub-impacts of mechanical seal end faces.

The Impact

The feature extraction of wheelset-bearing fault is important for the safety service of high-speed train. In recent years, sparse representation is gradually applied to the fault diagnosis of wheelset-bearing. However, it is difficult for traditional sparse representation to extract fault features ideally when some strong interference components are imposed on the signal. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel feature extraction method of wheelset-bearing fault based on the wavelet sparse representation with adaptive local iterative filtering. In this method, the adaptive local iterative filtering reduces the impact of interference components effectively and contributes to the extraction of sparse impulses. The wavelet sparse representation, which adopts L1-regularized optimization for a globally optimal solution in sparse coding, extracts intrinsic features of fault in the wavelet domain. To validate the effectiveness of this proposed method, both simulated signals and experimental signals are analyzed. The results show that the fault features of wheelset-bearing are sufficiently extracted by the proposed method.

As a key component to ensure the safe operation of the power grid, mechanical defect diagnosis technology of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) during operation is often neglected. At present, GIS mechanical fault detection based on vibration information has not been developed. The main reason is that the excitation current is considerable but uncontrollable in the actual operation of GIS. It is difficult to eliminate the influence of excitation on the vibration amplitude and form an effective vibration feature description technology. Therefore, this paper proposes a unified feature-extraction method for GIS vibration information that reduces the influence of current amplitude for mechanical fault diagnosis. Starting from the GIS mechanical analysis, the periodicity of vibration excitation and the influence of amplitude are discussed. Then, combined with the non-linear characteristics of GIS systems and non-linear vibration theory, the multiplier frequency energy ratio (MFER) is designed to extract vibration-unified features of GIS for diagnosing the mechanical fault under different current levels. The diagnosis results of the experimental data with different feature-extraction methods show the applicability and superiority of the proposed method in the GIS’s mechanical fault-detection field based on vibration information.

The performance of facial expression recognition (FER) would be degraded due to some factors such as individual differences, Gaussian random noise and so on. Prior feature extraction methods like Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Gabor filters require explicit expression components, which are always unavailable and difficult to obtain. To make the facial expression recognition (FER) more robust, we propose a novel FER approach based on low-rank sparse error dictionary (LRSE) to remit the side-effect caused by the problems above. Then the query samples can be represented and classified by a probabilistic collaborative representation based classifier (ProCRC), which exploits the maximum likelihood that the query sample belonging to the collaborative subspace of all classes can be better computed. The final classification is performed by seeking which class has the maximum probability. The proposed approach which exploits ProCRC associated with the LRSE features (LRSE ProCRC) for robust FER reaches higher average accuracies on the different databases (i.e., 79.39% on KDEF database, 89.54% on CAS-PEAL database, 84.45% on CK+ database etc.). In addition, our method also leads to state-of-the-art classification results from the aspect of feature extraction methods, training samples, Gaussian noise variances and classification based methods on benchmark databases.

In many pattern recognition problems, it is desirable to reduce the number of input features by extracting important features related to the problems. By focusing on only the problem-relevant features, the dimension of features can be greatly reduced and thereby can result in a better generalization performance with less computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction method for handling classification problems. The proposed algorithm is used to search for a set of linear combinations of the original features, whose mutual information with the output class can be maximized. The mutual information between the extracted features and the output class is calculated by using the probability density estimation based on the Parzen window method. A greedy algorithm using the gradient descent method is used to determine the new features. The computational load is proportional to the square of the number of samples. The proposed method was applied to several classification problems, which showed better or comparable performances than the conventional feature extraction methods.

Acquiring knowledge about users’ opinion and what they say regarding specific features within an app, constitutes a solid steppingstone for understanding their needs and concerns. App review utilization helps project management teams to identify threads and opportunities for app software maintenance, optimization and strategic marketing purposes. Nevertheless, app user review classification for identifying valuable gems of information for app software improvement, is a complex and multidimensional issue. It requires foresight and multiple combinations of sophisticated text pre-processing, feature extraction and machine learning methods to efficiently classify app reviews into specific topics. Against this backdrop, we propose a novel feature engineering classification schema that is capable to identify more efficiently and earlier terms-words within reviews that could be classified into specific topics. For this reason, we present a novel feature extraction method, the DEVMAX.DF combined with different machine learning algorithms to propose a solution in app review classification problems. One step further, a simulation of a real case scenario takes place to validate the effectiveness of the proposed classification schema into different apps. After multiple experiments, results indicate that the proposed schema outperforms other term extraction methods such as TF.IDF and χ2 to classify app reviews into topics. To this end, the paper contributes to the knowledge expansion of research and practitioners with the purpose to reinforce their decision-making process within the realm of app reviews utilization.

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.
