Constant False Alarm Rate

AbstractA desired objective in radar target detection is to satisfy two very contradictory requirements: offer a high probability of detection with a low false alarm rate. In this paper, we propose the utilization of artificial neural networks for binary classification of targets detected by a depreciated detection process. It is shown that trained neural networks are capable of identifying false detections with considerable accuracy and can to this extent utilize information present in guard cells and Doppler profiles. This allows for a reduction in the false alarm rate with only moderate loss in the probability of detection. With an appropriately designed neural network, an overall improved system performance can be achieved when compared against traditional constant false alarm rate detectors for the specific trained scenarios.

Persimmon Fruit

Abstract Recent rapid progress in deep neural network techniques has allowed recognition and classification of various objects, often exceeding the performance of the human eye. In plant biology and crop sciences, some deep neural network frameworks have been applied mainly for effective and rapid phenotyping. In this study, beyond simple optimizations of phenotyping, we propose an application of deep neural networks to make an image-based internal disorder diagnosis that is hard even for experts, and to visualize the reasons behind each diagnosis to provide biological interpretations. Here, we exemplified classification of calyx-end cracking in persimmon fruit by using five convolutional neural network models with various layer structures and examined potential analytical options involved in the diagnostic qualities. With 3,173 visible RGB images from the fruit apex side, the neural networks successfully made the binary classification of each degree of disorder, with up to 90% accuracy. Furthermore, feature visualizations, such as Grad-CAM and LRP, visualize the regions of the image that contribute to the diagnosis. They suggest that specific patterns of color unevenness, such as in the fruit peripheral area, can be indexes of calyx-end cracking. These results not only provided novel insights into indexes of fruit internal disorders but also proposed the potential applicability of deep neural networks in plant biology.

The Pandrol track fastener image is composed of two parts: track fastener clip sub-graph and track fastener bolt sub-graph. However, the detection of track fastener clip defect can be realized by track fastener image and track fastener image cannot effectively detect whether the bolt is loose. When the convolutional neural network is used to extract whole picture features and detect, many bolt features unrelated to the clips will be obtained, thereby resulting in a high false alarm rate. To solve these problems, a method based on local convolutional neural network to detect the Pandrol track fastener defects is proposed. First, the algorithm for automatic segmentation of track fastener pictures was used to divide the picture of the Pandrol track fastener into two sub-pictures, one sub-picture is the track fastener bolt and the other sub-picture is the track fastener clip. Second, convolutional neural network was used to detect the track fastener clip pictures. The influence of bolt features unrelated to clips on clips detection can be avoided through image segmentation for local feature extraction, thereby reducing the false alarm rate. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified using real Pandrol track fastener images.

<p>This paper deals with the problem of multi target detection that appears inside clutter cloud which represent the worst radar environments by using constant false alarm rate CFAR algorithm, in order to achieve maximum probability of detection with constant false alarm rate, to detect target in such environments it need to construct robust constant false alarm CFAR algorithm that excise the target spikes from CFAR window and deal with clutter edges in order to give best possible estimation to the noise background. Modified cell averaged (CA-CFAR) is analyzed and compared with Two important algorithms which are cell averaged (CA-CFAR) and ordered statistics (OS-CFAR) algorithms in additional to the modified CA-CFAR algorithm. All these algorithms were simulated with mat lab and applied them to matlab clutter test model that represent different radar environment cases. Tradeoff among these algorithms depending on their responses.</p>

Freeway Incidents

Pattern recognition techniques such as artificial neural networks continue to offer potential solutions to many of the existing problems associated with freeway incident-detection algorithms. This study focuses on the application of Fuzzy ART neural networks to incident detection on freeways. Unlike back-propagation models, Fuzzy ART is capable of fast, stable learning of recognition categories. It is an incremental approach that has the potential for on-line implementation. Fuzzy ART is trained with traffic patterns that are represented by 30-s loop-detector data of occupancy, speed, or a combination of both. Traffic patterns observed at the incident time and location are mapped to a group of categories. Each incident category maps incidents with similar traffic pattern characteristics, which are affected by the type and severity of the incident and the prevailing traffic conditions. Detection rate and false alarm rate are used to measure the performance of the Fuzzy ART algorithm. To reduce the false alarm rate that results from occasional misclassification of traffic patterns, a persistence time period of 3 min was arbitrarily selected. The algorithm performance improves when the temporal size of traffic patterns increases from one to two 30-s periods for all traffic parameters. An interesting finding is that the speed patterns produced better results than did the occupancy patterns. However, when combined, occupancy–speed patterns produced the best results. When compared with California algorithms 7 and 8, the Fuzzy ART model produced better performance.

This article deals with method of binary classification of images with small text on them Classification is based on the fact that the text can have 2 directions – it can be positioned horizontally and read from left to right or it can be turned 180 degrees so the image must be rotated to read the sign. This type of text can be found on the covers of a variety of books, so in case of recognizing the covers, it is necessary first to determine the direction of the text before we will directly recognize it. The article suggests the development of a deep neural network for determination of the text position in the context of book covers recognizing. The results of training and testing of a convolutional neural network on synthetic data as well as the examples of the network functioning on the real data are presented.

Multi Class Classification

Abstract:: Millions of deaths all over the world are caused by breast cancer every year. It has become the most common type of cancer in women. Early detection will help in better prognosis and increases the chance of survival. Automating the classification using Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems can make the diagnosis less prone to errors. Multi class classification and Binary classification of breast cancer is a challenging problem. Convolutional neural network architectures extract specific feature descriptors from images, which cannot represent different types of breast cancer. This leads to false positives in classification, which is undesirable in disease diagnosis. The current paper presents an ensemble Convolutional neural network for multi class classification and Binary classification of breast cancer. The feature descriptors from each network are combined to produce the final classification. In this paper, histopathological images are taken from publicly available BreakHis dataset and classified between 8 classes. The proposed ensemble model can perform better when compared to the methods proposed in the literature. The results showed that the proposed model could be a viable approach for breast cancer classification.
