Core Idea

Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) can obtain fully polarimetric information, which provides chances to better understand target scattering mechanisms. Ship detection is an important application of PolSAR and a number of scattering mechanism-based ship detection approaches have been established. However, the backscattering of manmade targets including ships is sensitive to the relative geometry between target orientation and radar line of sight, which makes ship detection still challenging. This work aims at mitigating this issue by target scattering diversity mining and utilization in polarimetric rotation domain with the interpretation tools of polarimetric coherence and correlation pattern techniques. The core idea is to find an optimal combination of polarimetric rotation domain features which shows the best potential to discriminate ship target and sea clutter pixel candidates. With the Relief method, six polarimetric rotation domain features derived from the polarimetric coherence and correlation patterns are selected. Then, a novel ship detection method is developed thereafter with these optimal features and the support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The underlying physics is that ship detection is equivalent to ship and sea clutter classification after the ocean and land partition. Four kinds of spaceborne PolSAR datasets from Radarsat-2 and GF-3 are used for comparison experiments. The superiority of the proposed detection methodology is clearly demonstrated. The proposed method achieves the highest figure of merit (FoM) of 99.26% and 100% for two Radarsat-2 datasets, and of 95.45% and 99.96% for two GF-3 datasets. Specially, the proposed method shows better performance to detect inshore dense ships and reserve the ship structure.

Traffic Detection

The widely use of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) technology has caused resources take up too much, security risks and other problems, it is necessary to detect and control P2P traffic. After analyzing current P2P detection methods, a new method called TCBDM (Traffic Characters Based Detection Method) is put forward which combines P2P traffic character with support vector machine to detect P2P traffic. By choosing P2P traffic characters which differ from other network traffic, such as Round-Trip Time (RTT), the method creates a SVM classifier, uses a package named LIBSVM to classify P2P traffic in Moore_Set data sets. The result shows that TCBDM can detect P2P traffic effectively; the accuracy could reach 98%.

Ship detection with polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) has gained extensive attention due to its widespread application in maritime surveillance. Nevertheless, designing identifiable features to realize accurate ship detection is still challenging. For this purpose, a fine eight-component model-based decomposition scheme is first presented by incorporating four advanced physical scattering models, thus accurately describing the dominant and local structure scattering of ships. Through analyzing the exclusive scattering mechanisms of ships, a discriminative ship detection feature is then constructed from the derived contributions of eight kinds of scattering components. Combined with a spatial information-based guard filter, the efficacy of the feature is further amplified and thus a ship detector is proposed which fulfills the final ship detection. Several qualitative and quantitative experiments are conducted on real PolSAR data and the results demonstrate that the proposed method reaches the highest figure-of-merit (FoM) factor of 0.96, which outperforms the comparative methods in ship detection.

Abstract. Presence of speckle in the Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) images could decrease the performance of information extraction applications such as classification, segmentation, change detection, etc. Hence, an essential pre-processing step named de-speckling is needed to suppress this granular noise-like phenomenon from the PolSAR images. In this paper, a comparison study is conducted between several new PolSAR speckle reduction methods such as POSSC, PNGF, and ANLM. For this comparison, a 4-look L-band AIRSAR NASA/JPL PolSAR dataset that obtained over an agriculture land from Flevoland, Netherlands, was employed. The de-speckling assessment was completed based on some no-reference quantitative indicators. All the de-speckling methods were evaluated in terms of speckle reduction form homogeneous areas, details, and radiometric preservation, and retaining the polarimetric information. Furthermore, the impact of PolSAR de-speckling on classification was evaluated. For this purpose, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was used to classify H/A/Alpha decomposition. Experimental results showed that the ANLM method was better to suppress the speckle, followed by the PNGF method. Also, the classification results showed that a proper PolSAR de-speckling could effectively increase the classification accuracy. The improvement of the Overall Accuracy based on de-speckling using the ANLM method was approximately 22% and 13% higher than the POSSC and PNGF methods, respectively.

Rotation Domain

Land cover classification is an important application for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data utilization. Rollinvariant polarimetric features such as <i>H&amp;thinsp;/&amp;thinsp;Ani&amp;thinsp;/&amp;thinsp;<span style="text-decoration: overline">α</span>&amp;thinsp;/&amp;thinsp;Span</i> are commonly adopted in PolSAR land cover classification. However, target orientation diversity effect makes PolSAR images understanding and interpretation difficult. Only using the roll-invariant polarimetric features may introduce ambiguity in the interpretation of targets’ scattering mechanisms and limit the followed classification accuracy. To address this problem, this work firstly focuses on hidden polarimetric feature mining in the rotation domain along the radar line of sight using the recently reported uniform polarimetric matrix rotation theory and the visualization and characterization tool of polarimetric coherence pattern. The former rotates the acquired polarimetric matrix along the radar line of sight and fully describes the rotation characteristics of each entry of the matrix. Sets of new polarimetric features are derived to describe the hidden scattering information of the target in the rotation domain. The latter extends the traditional polarimetric coherence at a given rotation angle to the rotation domain for complete interpretation. A visualization and characterization tool is established to derive new polarimetric features for hidden information exploration. Then, a classification scheme is developed combing both the selected new hidden polarimetric features in rotation domain and the commonly used roll-invariant polarimetric features with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Comparison experiments based on AIRSAR and multi-temporal UAVSAR data demonstrate that compared with the conventional classification scheme which only uses the roll-invariant polarimetric features, the proposed classification scheme achieves both higher classification accuracy and better robustness. For AIRSAR data, the overall classification accuracy with the proposed classification scheme is 94.91&amp;thinsp;%, while that with the conventional classification scheme is 93.70&amp;thinsp;%. Moreover, for multi-temporal UAVSAR data, the averaged overall classification accuracy with the proposed classification scheme is up to 97.08&amp;thinsp;%, which is much higher than the 87.79&amp;thinsp;% from the conventional classification scheme. Furthermore, for multitemporal PolSAR data, the proposed classification scheme can achieve better robustness. The comparison studies also clearly demonstrate that mining and utilization of hidden polarimetric features and information in the rotation domain can gain the added benefits for PolSAR land cover classification and provide a new vision for PolSAR image interpretation and application.

Spectrum Feature

<div>Classification has become a vital task in modern machine learning and Artificial Intelligence applications, including smart sensing. Numerous machine learning techniques are available to perform classification. Similarly, numerous practices, such as feature selection (i.e., selection of a subset of descriptor variables that optimally describe the output), are available to improve classifier performance. In this paper, we consider the case of a given supervised learning classification task that has to be performed making use of continuous-valued features. It is assumed that an optimal subset of features has already been selected. Therefore, no further feature reduction, or feature addition, is to be carried out. Then, we attempt to improve the classification performance by passing the given feature set through a transformation that produces a new feature set which we have named the “Binary Spectrum”. Via a case study example done on some Pulsed Eddy Current sensor data captured from an infrastructure monitoring task, we demonstrate how the classification accuracy of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier increases through the use of this Binary Spectrum feature, indicating the feature transformation’s potential for broader usage.</div><div><br></div>

Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

Aims: We would like to identify the biomarkers for chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) and facilitate the precise gene therapy of CHP. Background: Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) is an interstitial lung disease caused by hypersensitive reactions to inhaled antigens. Clinically, the tasks of differentiating between CHP and other interstitial lungs diseases, especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), were challenging. Objective: In this study, we analyzed the public available gene expression profile of 82 CHP patients, 103 IPF patients, and 103 control samples to identify the CHP biomarkers. Method: The CHP biomarkers were selected with advanced feature selection methods: Monte Carlo Feature Selection (MCFS) and Incremental Feature Selection (IFS). A Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was built. Then, we analyzed these CHP biomarkers through functional enrichment analysis and differential co-expression analysis. Result: There were 674 identified CHP biomarkers. The co-expression network of these biomarkers in CHP included more negative regulations and the network structure of CHP was quite different from the network of IPF and control. Conclusion: The SVM classifier may serve as an important clinical tool to address the challenging task of differentiating between CHP and IPF. Many of the biomarker genes on the differential co-expression network showed great promise in revealing the underlying mechanisms of CHP.

Selection Methods

In Microarray Data, it is complicated to achieve more classification accuracy due to the presence of high dimensions, irrelevant and noisy data. And also It had more gene expression data and fewer samples. To increase the classification accuracy and the processing speed of the model, an optimal number of features need to extract, this can be achieved by applying the feature selection method. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ensemble feature selection method. The proposed method has two phases, filter and wrapper phase in filter phase ensemble technique is used for aggregating the feature ranks of the Relief, minimum redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR), and Feature Correlation (FC) filter feature selection methods. This paper uses the Fuzzy Gaussian membership function ordering for aggregating the ranks. In wrapper phase, Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (IBPSO) is used for selecting the optimal features, and the RBF Kernel-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used as an evaluator. The performance of the proposed model are compared with state of art feature selection methods using five benchmark datasets. For evaluation various performance metrics such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F1-Score are used. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method outperforms the other feature selection methods.
