Chinese walnuts have extraordinary nutritional and organoleptic qualities, and counterfeit Chinese walnut products are pervasive in the market. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique to accurately identify and visualize Chinese walnut varieties. Hyperspectral images of 400 Chinese walnuts including 200 samples of Ningguo variety and 200 samples of Lin’an variety were acquired in range of 400–1000 nm. Spectra were extracted from representative regions of interest (ROIs), and principal component analysis (PCA) of spectra showed that the characteristic second principal component (PC2) was potentially effective in variety identification. The PC transformation was also conducted to hyperspectral images to make an exploratory visualization according to pixel-wise PC scores. Three different modeling methods including partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM) were individually employed to develop classification models. Results indicated that raw full spectra constructed PLS-DA model performed best with correct classification rates (CCRs) of 97.33%, 95.33%, and 92.00% in calibration, cross-validation, and prediction sets, respectively. Successful projects algorithm (SPA), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), and PC loadings were individually used for effective wavelengths selection. Subsequently, simplified PLS-DA model based on wavelengths selected by CARS yielded the best 96.33%, 95.67% and 91.00% CCRs in the three sets. This optimal CARS-PLS-DA model acquired a sensitivity of 93.62%, a specificity of 88.68%, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.91, and Kappa coefficient of 0.82 in prediction set. Classification maps were finally generated by classifying the varieties of each pixel in multispectral images at CARS-selected wavelengths, and the general variety was then readily discernible. These results demonstrated that features extracted from HSI had outstanding ability, and could be applied as a reliable tool for the further development of an on-line identification system for Chinese walnut variety.

Biofilms formed on the surface of agro-food processing facilities can cause food poisoning by providing an environment in which bacteria can be cultured. Therefore, hygiene management through initial detection is important. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of detecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) on the surface of food processing facilities by using fluorescence hyperspectral imaging. E. coli and S. typhimurium were cultured on high-density polyethylene and stainless steel coupons, which are the main materials used in food processing facilities. We obtained fluorescence hyperspectral images for the range of 420–730 nm by emitting UV light from a 365 nm UV light source. The images were used to perform discriminant analyses (linear discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbor analysis, and partial-least squares discriminant analysis) to identify and classify coupons on which bacteria could be cultured. The discriminant performances of specificity and sensitivity for E. coli (1–4 log CFU·cm−2) and S. typhimurium (1–6 log CFU·cm−2) were over 90% for most machine learning models used, and the highest performances were generally obtained from the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) model. The application of the learning model to the hyperspectral image confirmed that the biofilm detection was well performed. This result indicates the possibility of rapidly inspecting biofilms using fluorescence hyperspectral images.

In this paper, we design method for recognition of fingerprint and IRIS using feature level fusion and decision level fusion in Children multimodal biometric system. Initially, Histogram of Gradients (HOG), Gabour and Maximum filter response are extracted from both the domains of fingerprint and IRIS and considered for identification accuracy. The combination of feature vector of all the possible features is recommended by biometrics traits of fusion. For fusion vector the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to select features. The reduced features are fed into fusion classifier of K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Navie Bayes(NB). For children multimodal biometric system the suitable combination of features and fusion classifiers is identified. The experimentation conducted on children’s fingerprint and IRIS database and results reveal that fusion combination outperforms individual. In addition the proposed model advances the unimodal biometrics system.

Longjing tea is one of China’s protected geographical indication products with high commercial and nutritional value. The geographical origin of Longjing tea is an important factor influencing its commercial and nutritional value. Hyperspectral imaging systems covering the two spectral ranges of 380–1030 nm and 874–1734 nm were used to identify a single tea leaf of Longjing tea from six geographical origins. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted on hyperspectral images to form PCA score images. Differences among samples from different geographical origins were visually observed from the PCA score images. Support vector machine (SVM) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models were built using the full spectra at the two spectral ranges. Decent classification performances were obtained at the two spectral ranges, with the overall classification accuracy of the calibration and prediction sets over 84%. Furthermore, prediction maps for geographical origins identification of Longjing tea were obtained by applying the SVM models on the hyperspectral images. The overall results illustrate that hyperspectral imaging at both spectral ranges can be applied to identify the geographical origin of single tea leaves of Longjing tea. This study provides a new, rapid, and non-destructive alternative for Longjing tea geographical origins identification.

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.

Based on MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiles, this article proposes a new algorithm—SVM-RFE-FKNN, which combines the support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) algorithm and the fuzzy K -nearest neighbor (FKNN) algorithm, to realize binary classification of tumors. First, the SVM-RFE algorithm was used to select features from the miRNA expression profile dataset to constitute feature subsets and to determine the maximum number of support vectors. Next, this maximum number was regarded as the upper limit of the parameter K in the FKNN algorithm that was then used to classify the samples to be tested. Finally, the leave-one-out cross-validation method was adopted to assess the classification performance of the proposed algorithm. Through experiments, our proposed algorithm was compared with other twelve classification methods, and the result shows that our algorithm had better classification performance. Specifically, with only a few miRNA biomarkers, the proposed algorithm could reach an accuracy of 99.46% and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.9874.

Abstract Background For an effective artificial pancreas (AP) system and an improved therapeutic intervention with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), predicting the occurrence of hypoglycemia accurately is very important. While there have been many studies reporting successful algorithms for predicting nocturnal hypoglycemia, predicting postprandial hypoglycemia still remains a challenge due to extreme glucose fluctuations that occur around mealtimes. The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of easy-to-use, computationally efficient machine-learning algorithm to predict postprandial hypoglycemia with a unique feature set. Methods We use retrospective CGM datasets of 104 people who had experienced at least one hypoglycemia alert value during a three-day CGM session. The algorithms were developed based on four machine learning models with a unique data-driven feature set: a random forest (RF), a support vector machine using a linear function or a radial basis function, a K-nearest neighbor, and a logistic regression. With 5-fold cross-subject validation, the average performance of each model was calculated to compare and contrast their individual performance. The area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the F1 score were used as the main criterion for evaluating the performance. Results In predicting a hypoglycemia alert value with a 30-min prediction horizon, the RF model showed the best performance with the average AUC of 0.966, the average sensitivity of 89.6%, the average specificity of 91.3%, and the average F1 score of 0.543. In addition, the RF showed the better predictive performance for postprandial hypoglycemic events than other models. Conclusion In conclusion, we showed that machine-learning algorithms have potential in predicting postprandial hypoglycemia, and the RF model could be a better candidate for the further development of postprandial hypoglycemia prediction algorithm to advance the CGM technology and the AP technology further.

Black rice is an important rice species in Southeast Asia. It is a common phenomenon to pass low-priced black rice off as high-priced ones for economic benefit, especially in some remote towns. There is increasing need for the development of fast, easy-to-use, and low-cost analytical methods for authenticity detection. The feasibility to utilize near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and support vector data description (SVDD) for such a goal is explored. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used for exploratory analysis and feature extraction. Another two data description methods, i.e., k-nearest neighbor data description (KNNDD) and GAUSS method, are used as the reference. A total of 142 samples from three brands were collected for spectral analysis. Each time, the samples of a brand serve as the target class whereas other samples serve as the outlier class. Based on both the first two principal components (PCs) and original variables, three types of data descriptions were constructed. On average, the optimized SVDD model achieves acceptable performance, i.e., a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 94.2% on the independent test set with tight boundary. It indicates that SVDD combined with NIR is feasible and effective for authenticity detection of black rice.

Biometric recognition systems or human identification are very important in security access for identification and verification systems. The biometric recognition system can be used as an identification system based on the characteristics possessed by the body part of each individual. The soles of the feet can be used for identification because the soles of the feet have certain and unique characteristics which include major lines, protrusions, small dots, single points, and textures. The introduction of biometrics in babies is still conventional, which is a standard operating procedure such as attaching bracelets on baby's feet and imprinting or inking on the soles of baby's feet which are affixed to paper and are very vulnerable to the risk of damage or loss of data, there is a need for a system that can store data automatically digital and able to do the baby identification process. The Principal Component Analysis method is used for the extraction process of the characteristics of the baby's feet. The classification uses the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) method with the euclidean distance approach. Tests were carried using 120 images of baby feet, there are 20 classes, each class contains 3 images of the right foot and 3 images of the foot of the left foot, and a dataset of 280 training images. The highest accuracy result obtained in system testing is 91% with a computation time of 5.63 seconds using the Principal Component Analysis method with the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) classification.Keywords: Footprint, Feature Extraction, Principal Component Analysis, K-Nearest Neighbor.

Biometric recognition of infant identification systems is critical in security access for identification and verification systems. However, until now, hospitals or health centres in Indonesia still use conventional biometric identification, such as stamping or inking on the soles of babies' feet affixed to paper and are very vulnerable to the risk of damage or loss of data. To resolve this problem, computer vision technology can accurately identify the baby's feet' soles with the final result in the form of digital data. This study compares the classification method of baby feet using the SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm with the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The baby's feet understudy image was taken using a cellphone camera with sample data of 3 months old babies. Comparing the SVM and KNN classification methods obtained high accuracy, precision and recall values, namely 98.80% accuracy, 89.51% precision and 88.00% recall. (for the SVM Gaussian kernel classification), with an accuracy of 99.08%, 92.65% precision and 90.75% recall (for the KNN Ecluidean Distance classification), it can be concluded that the KNN classification method using Euclidean distance is the best for applied in the baby palm identification system using the geometric image feature.

Recognizing the sense of speech is one of the most active research topics in speech processing and in human-computer interaction programs. Despite a wide range of studies in this scope, there is still a long gap among the natural feelings of humans and the perception of the computer. In general, a sensory recognition system from speech can be divided into three main sections: attribute extraction, feature selection, and classification. In this paper, features of fundamental frequency (FEZ) (F0), energy (E), zero-crossing rate (ZCR), fourier parameter (FP), and various combinations of them are extracted from the data vector, Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm is used to reduce the number of features. To evaluate the system performance. The fusion of each emotional state will be performed later using support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), In terms of comparison, similar experiments have been performed on the emotional speech of the German language, English language, and significant results were obtained by these comparisons.
