Accurate, rapid and non-destructive disease identification in the early stage of infection is essential to ensure the safe and efficient production of greenhouse cucumbers. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of most existing methods relies on the disease already exhibiting obvious symptoms in the middle to late stages of infection. Therefore, this paper presents an early identification method for cucumber diseases based on the techniques of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning, which consists of two procedures. First, reconstruction fidelity terms and graph constraints are constructed based on the decision criterion of the collaborative representation classifier and the desired spatial distribution of spectral curves (391 to 1044 nm) respectively. The former constrains the same-class and different-class reconstruction residuals while the latter constrains the weighted distances between spectral curves. They are further fused to steer the design of an offline algorithm. The algorithm aims to train a linear discriminative projection to transform the original spectral curves into a low dimensional space, where the projected spectral curves of different diseases own better separation trends. Then, the collaborative representation classifier is utilized to achieve online early diagnosis. Five experiments were performed on the hyperspectral data collected in the early infection stage of cucumber anthracnose and Corynespora cassiicola diseases. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method was feasible and effective, providing a maximal identification accuracy of 98.2% and an average online identification time of 0.65 ms. The proposed method has a promising future in practical production due to its high diagnostic accuracy and short diagnosis time.

The collection of high-dimensional hyperspectral data is often the slowest step in the process of hyperspectral Raman imaging. Where the conventional array-based Raman spectroscopy acquiring of chemical images could take hours to even days. To increase the Raman collection speeds, a number of compressive detection (CD) strategies, which simultaneously sense and compress the spectral signal, have recently been demonstrated. This is opposed to conventional hyperspectral imaging, where full spectra are measured prior to post-processing and imaging CD increases the speed of data collection by making measurements in a low-dimensional space containing only the information of interest, thus enabling real-time imaging. The use of single channel detectors gives the key advantage to CD strategy using optical filter functions to obtain component intensities. In other words, the filter functions are simply the optimized patterns of wavelength combinations characteristic of component in the sample, and the intensity transmitted through each filter represents a direct measure of the associated score values. Essentially, compressive hyperspectral images consist of ‘score’ pixels (instead of ‘spectral’ pixels). This paper presents an overview of recent advances in compressive Raman detection designs and performance validations using a DMD based binary detection strategy.

Simultaneous recordings of electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are at the forefront of technologies of interest to physicians and scientists because they combine the benefits of both modalities—better time resolution (hdEEG) and space resolution (fMRI). However, EEG measurements in the scanner contain an electromagnetic field that is induced in leads as a result of gradient switching slight head movements and vibrations, and it is corrupted by changes in the measured potential because of the Hall phenomenon. The aim of this study is to design and test a methodology for inspecting hidden EEG structures with respect to artifacts. We propose a top-down strategy to obtain additional information that is not visible in a single recording. The time-domain independent component analysis algorithm was employed to obtain independent components and spatial weights. A nonlinear dimension reduction technique t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding was used to create low-dimensional space, which was then partitioned using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN). The relationships between the found data structure and the used criteria were investigated. As a result, we were able to extract information from the data structure regarding electrooculographic, electrocardiographic, electromyographic and gradient artifacts. This new methodology could facilitate the identification of artifacts and their residues from simultaneous EEG in fMRI.

In this article, we present methods to optimize the design and flight characteristics of a biologically inspired bat-like robot. In previous, work we have designed the topological structure for the wing kinematics of this robot; here we present methods to optimize the geometry of this structure, and to compute actuator trajectories such that its wingbeat pattern closely matches biological counterparts. Our approach is motivated by recent studies on biological bat flight that have shown that the salient aspects of wing motion can be accurately represented in a low-dimensional space. Although bats have over 40 degrees of freedom (DoFs), our robot possesses several biologically meaningful morphing specializations. We use principal component analysis (PCA) to characterize the two most dominant modes of biological bat flight kinematics, and we optimize our robot’s parametric kinematics to mimic these. The method yields a robot that is reduced from five degrees of actuation (DoAs) to just three, and that actively folds its wings within a wingbeat period. As a result of mimicking synergies, the robot produces an average net lift improvesment of 89% over the same robot when its wings cannot fold.

Abstract. Hyperspectral sensor technology has been advancing in recent years and become more practical to tackle a variety of applications. The arising issues of data transmission and storage can be addressed with the help of compression. To minimize the loss of important information, high spectral correlation between adjacent bands is exploited. In this paper, we introduce an approach to compress hyperspectral data based on a 1D-Convolutional Autoencoder. Compression is achieved through reducing correlation by transforming the spectral signature into a low-dimensional space, while simultaneously preserving the significant features. The focus lies on compression of the spectral dimension. The spatial dimension is not used in the compression in order not to falsify correlation between the spectral dimension and accuracy of the reconstruction. The proposed 1D-Convolutional Autoencoder efficiently finds and extracts features relevant for compression. Additionally, it can be exploited as a feature extractor or for dimensionality reduction. The hyperspectral data sets Greding Village and Pavia University were used for the training and the evaluation process. The reconstruction accuracy is evaluated using the Signal to Noise Ratio and the Spectral Angle. Additionally, a land cover classification using a multi-class Support Vector Machine is used as a target application. The classification performance of the original and reconstructed data are compared. The reconstruction accuracy of the 1D-Convolutional Autoencoder outperforms the Deep Autoencoder and Nonlinear Principal Component Analysis for the used metrics and for both data sets using a fixed compression ratio.

AbstractProcessing and analyzing time series datasets have become a central issue in many domains requiring data management systems to support time series as a native data type. A core access primitive of time series is matching, which requires efficient algorithms on-top of appropriate representations like the symbolic aggregate approximation (SAX) representing the current state of the art. This technique reduces a time series to a low-dimensional space by segmenting it and discretizing each segment into a small symbolic alphabet. Unfortunately, SAX ignores the deterministic behavior of time series such as cyclical repeating patterns or a trend component affecting all segments, which may lead to a sub-optimal representation accuracy. We therefore introduce a novel season- and a trend-aware symbolic approximation and demonstrate an improved representation accuracy without increasing the memory footprint. Most importantly, our techniques also enable a more efficient time series matching by providing a match up to three orders of magnitude faster than SAX.

AbstractFor most neuroimaging questions the huge range of possible analytic choices leads to the possibility that conclusions from any single analytic approach may be misleading. Examples of possible choices include the motion regression approach used and smoothing and threshold factors applied during the processing pipeline. Although it is possible to perform a multiverse analysis that evaluates all possible analytic choices, this can be computationally challenging and repeated sequential analyses on the same data can compromise inferential and predictive power. Here, we establish how active learning on a low-dimensional space that captures the inter-relationships between analysis approaches can be used to efficiently approximate the whole multiverse of analyses. This approach balances the benefits of a multiverse analysis without the accompanying cost to statistical power, computational power and the integrity of inferences. We illustrate this approach with a functional MRI dataset of functional connectivity across adolescence, demonstrating how a multiverse of graph theoretic and simple pre-processing steps can be efficiently navigated using active learning. Our study shows how this approach can identify the subset of analysis techniques (i.e., pipelines) which are best able to predict participants’ ages, as well as allowing the performance of different approaches to be quantified.

Network Embedding (NE) is an important method to learn the representations of network via a low-dimensional space. Conventional NE models focus on capturing the structure information and semantic information of vertices while neglecting such information for edges. In this work, we propose a novel NE model named BimoNet to capture both the structure and semantic information of edges. BimoNet is composed of two parts, i.e., the bi-mode embedding part and the deep neural network part. For bi-mode embedding part, the first mode named add-mode is used to express the entity-shared features of edges and the second mode named subtract-mode is employed to represent the entity-specific features of edges. These features actually reflect the semantic information. For deep neural network part, we firstly regard the edges in a network as nodes, and the vertices as links, which will not change the overall structure of the whole network. Then we take the nodes' adjacent matrix as the input of the deep neural network as it can obtain similar representations for nodes with similar structure. Afterwards, by jointly optimizing the objective function of these two parts, BimoNet could preserve both the semantic and structure information of edges. In experiments, we evaluate BimoNet on three real-world datasets and task of relation extraction, and BimoNet is demonstrated to outperform state-of-the-art baseline models consistently and significantly.
