This paper describes the human facial landmark points detection is very important in the field of image processing as face detect, face identifies, face re-construct, face corners alignment, different head pose and facial expression analysis. Facial landmark is an essential point for applying face processing operation ranging from biometric recognition to mental states. In this paper, Haar cascading face detection technique is used to face detection and tracking. Histogram of Oriented Gradients (hog) has been used for 68 landmark points detection in case of human tracking and detection and support vector machine (svm) classifier are used for 68 landmark points detection for right-left eyebrow, left-right eye, nose, lips, chin, and jaw. The existing methods work effectively but many issues occur in detection as of different head poses, facial expressions, facial occlusion, illumination, colour, shadowing and self-shadowing etc. The performance of experimental results shows the advantages of our purposed method is highly accurate in terms of facial 68 landmark points tracking and detection and less error detection rate with the Multi-PIE database.

Nowadays, face detection and recognition have gained importance in security and information access. In this paper, an efficient method of face detection based on skin color segmentation and Support Vector Machine(SVM) is proposed. Firstly, segmenting image using color model to filter candidate faces roughly; And then Eye-analogue segments at a given scale are discovered by finding regions which are darker than their neighborhoods to filter candidate faces farther; at the end, SVM classifier is used to detect face feature in the test image, SVM has great performance in classification task. Our tests in this paper are based on MIT face database. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is encouraging with a successful detection rate.

In view of the defects and shortcomings of the traditional target detection and tracking algorithm in accurately detecting targets and targets in different scenarios, based on the current research status and technical level of target detection and tracking at home and abroad, this paper proposes a target detection algorithm and tracking method using neural network algorithm, and applies it to the athlete training model. Based on the Alex-Net network structure, this paper designs a three-layer convolutional layer and two layers of fully connected layers. The last layer is used as the input of the SVM classifier, and the target classification result is obtained by the SVM classifier. In addition, this article adds SPP-Layer between the convolutional layer and the fully connected layer, enabling the same dimension of the Feature Map to be obtained before the fully connected layer for different sized input images. The research results show that the proposed method has certain recognition effect and can be applied to athlete training.

Environment perception is one of the important issues for unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). It is necessary to develop waters hole detection and tracking method in cross-country environment. This paper is related to the waters hole detection and tracking by using visual information. Image processing strategies based on support vector machine (SVM) and speeded up robust feature (SURF) methods are employed to detect and track waters hole. It focuses on how to extract the waters feature descriptor by exploring the machine learning algorithm. Based on the S/V color features and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix, the waters feature descriptor is extracted. The radial basis function (RBF) kernel function and the sampling-window size are determined by using the SVM classifier. The optimal parameters are obtained under the cross-validation conditions by the grid method. In terms of waters tracking, SURF feature matching method is applied to extract the remarkable feature points, then to observe the relation between feature point movement of adjacent frames and scale change ratio. Experiments show that SURF algorithm can still be effective to detect and match the remarkable feature points, against the negative effects of waters scale transformation and affine transform. The conclusion is that the computing speed of SURF algorithm is about three times faster than that of scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm, and the comprehensive performance of SURF algorithm is better.

In this paper, we study the use of EEG (Electroencephalography) to classify between concentrated and relaxed mental states. In the literature, most EEG recording systems are expensive, medical-graded devices. The expensive devices limit the availability in a consumer market. The EEG signals are obtained from a toy-grade EEG device with one channel of output data. The experiments are conducted in two runs, with 7 and 10 subjects, respectively. Each subject is asked to silently recite a five-digit number backwards given by the tester. The recorded EEG signals are converted to time-frequency representations by the software accompanying the device. A simple average is used to aggregate multiple spectral components into EEG bands, such as α, β, and γ bands. The chosen classifiers are SVM (support vector machine) and multi-layer feedforward network trained individually for each subject. Experimental results show that features, with α+β+γ bands and bandwidth 4 Hz, the average accuracy over all subjects in both runs can reach more than 80% and some subjects up to 90+% with the SVM classifier. The results suggest that a brain machine interface could be implemented based on the mental states of the user even with the use of a cheap EEG device.

It is evident that the electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms are slightly changed when the efficacy of mental activity declines (brain fatigue). Nonetheless, this slight change is not easily detectable by the so far suggested scalp EEG features. The goal of this paper is to propose an EEG-based biomarker, which has a congruity to the mental fatigue variation to detect the transition from non-fatigue to the fatigue mental state. The strength of the dominant EEG source, extracted by minimum variance beamformer (MVB), is proposed here as a discriminative feature to remarkably classify the two mental states. To assess the proposed scheme, EEG signals of 17 volunteers were recorded via 32 electrodes before and after taking an exhausting mental exam (3[Formula: see text]h) and the extracted EEG features were labeled as non-fatigue and fatigue, respectively. After removing the eye-blink effect, the proposed feature along with the conventional EEG features were extracted from the recorded EEGs and then applied to support vector machine (SVM) and 1-nearest neighbor (1NN) classifiers in order to differentiate these two mental states. The best result is achieved by applying the proposed feature to the SVM classifier providing 97.06% classification accuracy which is significantly ([Formula: see text]) superior to its counter parts.

Image processing in today’s world used for performing operations on images by using a process of making positive suggestion of face which can be in a photo or video in already existing face database. Extraction of face attributes is done in face detection from photos and also from videos. When any unauthorized person tries to enter in authentication system by presenting fraud image and video is termed as spoofing attack. Biometrics is a technology which recognizes characteristics of human and is prone to spoof attacks. The detection of spoofed faces by recognizing and exploring the fake face and genuine face images is called face spoof detection. The DWT method is used to inspect the textual attribute occurring within the test images. There is a possibility that some unusual disruptions are available like geometric disruption and the artificial texture disruption. Eigen face technique is applicable for taking out attributes. Histogram for every feature or attributes is determined and employed a collation of essence to find out face spoof detection. To explore even if the image is actual and gag, already used approach Support Vector Machine is used. To make face spoof detection more accurate KNN classifier will take the place of the SVM classifier. The Contrast are construct to inspect the performance of the suggest algorithm and the existing algorithm in two parameters accuracy and time of execution. Detection of spoofed faces can be used for security purpose, preventing crime, access control system.

In this paper, the proposed algorithm regards the human body object character symbol using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to train and classify Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features, which improve the accuracy of human body detection. We use optical flow tracking algorithm based on corner points of the contour for tracking. Kalman filter is regarded as the predictor to predict the size and location of the searching object. Also, the size and location of track window is real-time updated. In this paper, we present an object tracking algorithm for multi-media teaching video shoot. Target tracking technology is used for the video image processing analysis. By extracting moving object, we can get information in the subsequent frames to determine the trajectory and size of moving objects. After analysis of a large number of experiments, we can draw the conclusion that the algorithm is effective.

<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>

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.
