There is a significant increase in the use of biomedical images in clinical medicine, disease research, and education. While the literature lists several successful methods that were developed and implemented for content-based image retrieval and recognition, they have been unable to make significant inroads in biomedical image recognition domain. The use of computer-aided diagnosis has been increasing. It is based on descriptors extraction and classification approaches. This interest is due to the need for specialized methods, which are specific to each biomedical image type, and also due to the lack of advances in image recognition systems. In this chapter, the authors present intelligent information description techniques and the most used classification methods in an image retrieval and recognition system. A multicriteria classification method applied for sickle cells disease image databases is given. The recognition performance system is illustrated and discussed.

In this paper, a new representation of Farsi words is proposed to present the keyword spotting problems in Farsi document image retrieval. In this regard, we define a signature for each Farsi word based on the word connected component layout. The mentioned signature is shown as boxes, and then, by sketching vertical and horizontal lines, we construct a grid of each word to provide a new descriptor. One of the advantages of this method is that it can be used for both handwritten and machine-printed texts. Finally, to evaluate the performance of our system in comparison to other methods, a database that contains 19,582 printed Farsi words is examined, and after applying this approach, a recall rate of 98.1% and a precision rate of 94.3% are obtained.

Color Image Recognition is one of the most important fields in Pattern Recognition. Both Multi-set canonical correlation analysis and Kernel method are important techniques in the field of color image recognition. In this paper, we combine the two methods and propose one novel color image recognition approach: color image kernel canonical correlation analysis (CIKCCA). Color image kernel canonical correlation analysis is based on the theory of multi-set canonical correlation analysis and extracts canonical correlation features among the color image components. Then fuse the features of the color image components in the feature level, which are used for classification and recognition. Experimental results on the FRGC-v2 public color image databases demonstrate that the proposed approach acquire better recognition performance than other color recognition methods.

Individual identification process is a very significant process that resides a large portion of day by day usages. Identification process is appropriate in work place, private zones, banks …etc. Individuals are rich subject having many characteristics that can be used for recognition purpose such as finger vein, iris, face …etc. Finger vein and iris key-points are considered as one of the most talented biometric authentication techniques for its security and convenience. SIFT is new and talented technique for pattern recognition. However, some shortages exist in many related techniques, such as difficulty of feature loss, feature key extraction, and noise point introduction. In this manuscript a new technique named SIFT-based iris and SIFT-based finger vein identification with normalization and enhancement is proposed for achieving better performance. In evaluation with other SIFT-based iris or SIFT-based finger vein recognition algorithms, the suggested technique can overcome the difficulties of tremendous key-point extraction and exclude the noise points without feature loss. Experimental results demonstrate that the normalization and improvement steps are critical for SIFT-based recognition for iris and finger vein , and the proposed technique can accomplish satisfactory recognition performance. Keywords: SIFT, Iris Recognition, Finger Vein identification and Biometric Systems.   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association

Human activity recognition (HAR) is essential in many health-related fields. A variety of technologies based on different sensors have been developed for HAR. Among them, fusion from heterogeneous wearable sensors has been developed as it is portable, non-interventional and accurate for HAR. To be applied in real-time use with limited resources, the activity recognition system must be compact and reliable. This requirement can be achieved by feature selection (FS). By eliminating irrelevant and redundant features, the system burden is reduced with good classification performance (CP). This manuscript proposes a two-stage genetic algorithm-based feature selection algorithm with a fixed activation number (GFSFAN), which is implemented on the datasets with a variety of time, frequency and time-frequency domain features extracted from the collected raw time series of nine activities of daily living (ADL). Six classifiers are used to evaluate the effects of selected feature subsets from different FS algorithms on HAR performance. The results indicate that GFSFAN can achieve good CP with a small size. A sensor-to-segment coordinate calibration algorithm and lower-limb joint angle estimation algorithm are introduced. Experiments on the effect of the calibration and the introduction of joint angle on HAR shows that both of them can improve the CP.
