In the field of advanced driver-assistance and autonomous vehicle systems, understanding the surrounding vehicles plays a vital role to ensure a robust and safe navigation. To solve detection and classification problem, an obstacle classification strategy based on laser sensor is presented. Objects are classified according the geometry, distance range, reflectance, and disorder of each of the detected object. In order to define the best number of features that allows the algorithm to classify these objects, a feature analysis is performed. To do this, the set of features were divided into four groups based on the characteristic, distance, reflectance, and the entropy of the object. Finally, the classification task is performed using the support vector machines (SVM) and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) algorithms. The evaluation indicates that the method proposes a feasible solution for intelligent vehicle applications, achieving a detection rate of 87.96% at 48.32 ms for the SVM and 98.19% at 79.18ms for the AdaBoost.

Abstract Texture classification plays a vital role in the emerging research field of image classification. This paper approaches the texture classification problem using significant features extracted from pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) like Alexnet, VGG16, Resnet18, Googlenet, MobilenetV2, and Darknet19. These features are classified by machine learning classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Ensemble, K Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), and Discriminant Analysis (DA). The performance of the work is evaluated with the texture databases namely KTH-TIPS, FMD, UMD-HR, and DTD. Among these CNN features derived from VGG16 classify by SVM provides better classification accuracy rather than using VGG16 with a softmax classifier.

AbstractIn any multi-script environment, handwritten script classification is an unavoidable pre-requisite before the document images are fed to their respective Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines. Over the years, this complex pattern classification problem has been solved by researchers proposing various feature vectors mostly having large dimensions, thereby increasing the computation complexity of the whole classification model. Feature Selection (FS) can serve as an intermediate step to reduce the size of the feature vectors by restricting them only to the essential and relevant features. In the present work, we have addressed this issue by introducing a new FS algorithm, called Hybrid Swarm and Gravitation-based FS (HSGFS). This algorithm has been applied over three feature vectors introduced in the literature recently—Distance-Hough Transform (DHT), Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), and Modified log-Gabor (MLG) filter Transform. Three state-of-the-art classifiers, namely, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), are used to evaluate the optimal subset of features generated by the proposed FS model. Handwritten datasets at block, text line, and word level, consisting of officially recognized 12 Indic scripts, are prepared for experimentation. An average improvement in the range of 2–5% is achieved in the classification accuracy by utilizing only about 75–80% of the original feature vectors on all three datasets. The proposed method also shows better performance when compared to some popularly used FS models. The codes used for implementing HSGFS can be found in the following Github link: https://github.com/Ritam-Guha/HSGFS.

Proposed an approach to identify vehicles considering the variation in image size, illumination, and view angles under different cameras using Support Vector Machine with weighted random trees (WRT-SVM). With quantizing the scale-invariant features of image pairs by the weighted random trees, the identification problem is formulated as a same-different classification problem. Results show the efficiency of building the randomized tree due to the weights of the samples and the control of the false-positive rate of the identify system.

Breast cancer is a common cancer in female. Accurate and early detection of breast cancer can play a vital role in treatment. This paper presents and evaluates a thermogram based Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system for the detection of breast cancer. In this CAD system, the Random Subset Feature Selection (RSFS) algorithm and hybrid of minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) with RSFS algorithm are utilized for feature selection. In addition, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) algorithms are utilized as classifier algorithm. The proposed CAD system is verified using MATLAB 2017 and a dataset that is composed of breast images from 78 patients. The implementation results demonstrate that using RSFS algorithm for feature selection and kNN and SVM algorithms as classifier have accuracy of 85.36% and 75%, and sensitivity of 94.11% and 79.31%, respectively. In addition, using hybrid GA and RSFS algorithm for feature selection and kNN and SVM algorithms as classifier have accuracy of 83.87% and 69.56%, and sensitivity of 96% and 81.81%, respectively, and using hybrid mRMR and RSFS algorithms for feature selection and kNN and SVM algorithms as classifier have accuracy of 77.41% and 73.07%, and sensitivity of 98% and 72.72%, respectively.

Abstract. Recent years showed a gradual transition from terrestrial to aerial survey thanks to the development of UAV and sensors for it. Many sectors benefited by this change among which geological one; drones are flexible, cost-efficient and can support outcrops surveying in many difficult situations such as inaccessible steep and high rock faces. The experiences acquired in terrestrial survey, with total stations, GNSS or terrestrial laser scanner (TLS), are not yet completely transferred to UAV acquisition. Hence, quality comparisons are still needed. The present paper is framed in this perspective aiming to evaluate the quality of the point clouds generated by an UAV in a geological context; data analysis was conducted comparing the UAV product with the homologous acquired with a TLS system. Exploiting modern semantic classification, based on eigenfeatures and support vector machine (SVM), the two point clouds were compared in terms of density and mutual distance. The UAV survey proves its usefulness in this situation with a uniform density distribution in the whole area and producing a point cloud with a quality comparable with the more traditional TLS systems.
