The use of visual information for the navigation of unmanned ground vehicles in a cross-country environment recently received great attention. However, until now, the use of textural information has been somewhat less effective than color or laser range information. This chapter reviews the recent achievements in cross-country scene segmentation and addresses their shortcomings. It then describes a problem related to classification of high dimensional texture features. Finally, it compares three machine learning algorithms aimed at resolving this problem. The experimental results for each machine learning algorithm with the discussion of comparisons are given at the end of the chapter.

Many attempts were made to classify the bees that is bumble bee or honey bee , there have been such a large amount of researches which were made to seek out the difference between them on the premise of various features like wing size , size of bee , color, life cycle and many more. But altogether the analysis there have been either that specialize in qualitative or quantitative , but to beat this issue , thus researchers came up with an answer which might be both qualitative and quantitative analysis made to classify them. And making use of machine learning algorithm to classify them gives a lift . Now the classification would take less time as these algorithms are pretty fast and accurate . By using machine learning work is made easy . Lots of photographs had to be collected and stored for data set. And by using these machine learning algorithms we would be getting information about the bees which might be employed by researchers in further classification of bees. Manipulation of images had to be done so as on prepare them in such a way that they will be applied to the algorithms and have feature extraction done. As there have been a lot of photographs(data set) which take a lot of space and also the area in which bees were present in these photographs were too small so to accommodate it dimension reduction was done , it might not consider other images like trees , leaves , flowers which were there present in the photograph which we elect as a data set.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rising infrastructure of 21st century. The classification of traffic over IoT networks is attained significance importance due to rapid growth of users and devices. It is need of the hour to isolate the normal traffic from the malicious traffic and to assign the normal traffic to the proper destination to suffice the QoS requirements of the IoT users. Detection of malicious traffic can be done by continuously monitoring traffic for suspicious links, files, connection created and received, unrecognised protocol/port numbers, and suspicious Destination/Source IP combinations. A proficient classification mechanism in IoT environment should be capable enough to classify the heavy traffic in a fast manner, to deflect the malevolent traffic on time and to transmit the benign traffic to the designated nodes for serving the needs of the users. In this work, adaboost and Xgboost machine learning algorithms and Deep Neural Networks approach are proposed to separate the IoT traffic which eventually enhances the throughput of IoT networks and reduces the congestion over IoT channels. The result of experiment indicates a deep learning algorithm achieves higher accuracy compared to machine learning algorithms.

In this paper, we focus on developing a novel method to extract sea ice cover (i.e., discrimination/classification of sea ice and open water) using Sentinel-1 (S1) cross-polarization (vertical-horizontal, VH or horizontal-vertical, HV) data in extra wide (EW) swath mode based on the machine learning algorithm support vector machine (SVM). The classification basis includes the S1 radar backscatter coefficients and texture features that are calculated from S1 data using the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Different from previous methods where appropriate samples are manually selected to train the SVM to classify sea ice and open water, we proposed a method of unsupervised generation of the training samples based on two GLCM texture features, i.e. entropy and homogeneity, that have contrasting characteristics on sea ice and open water. We eliminate the most uncertainty of selecting training samples in machine learning and achieve automatic classification of sea ice and open water by using S1 EW data. The comparison shows good agreement between the SAR-derived sea ice cover using the proposed method and a visual inspection, of which the accuracy reaches approximately 90% - 95% based on a few cases. Besides this, compared with the analyzed sea ice cover data Ice Mapping System (IMS) based on 728 S1 EW images, the accuracy of extracted sea ice cover by using S1 data is more than 80%.

Traditionally, the classification of seed defects mainly relies on the characteristics of color, shape, and texture. This method requires repeated extraction of a large amount of feature information, which is not efficiently used in detection. In recent years, deep learning has performed well in the field of image recognition. We introduced convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transfer learning into the quality classification of seeds and compared them with traditional machine learning algorithms. Experiments showed that deep learning algorithm was significantly better than the machine learning algorithm with an accuracy of 95% (GoogLeNet) vs. 79.2% (SURF+SVM). We used three classifiers in GoogLeNet to demonstrate that network accuracy increases as the depth of the network increases. We used the visualization technology to obtain the feature map of each layer of the network in CNNs and used the heat map to represent the probability distribution of the inference results. As an end-to-end network, CNNs can be easily applied for automated seed manufacturing.

In the present century, various classification issues are raised with large data and most commonly used machine learning algorithms are failed in the classification process to get accurate results. Datamining techniques like ensemble, which is made up of individual classifiers for the classification process and to generate the new data as well. Random forest is one of the ensemble supervised machine learning technique and essentially used in numerous machine learning applications such as the classification of text and image data. It is popular since it collects more relevant features such as variable importance measure, Out-of-bag error etc. For the viable learning and classification of random forest, it is required to reduce the number of decision trees (Pruning) in the random forest. In this paper, we have presented systematic overview of random forest algorithm along with its application areas. In addition, we presented a brief review of machine learning algorithm proposed in the recent years. Animal classification is considered as an important problem and most of the recent studies are classifying the animals by taking the image dataset. But, very less work has been done on attribute-oriented animal classification and poses many challenges in the process of extracting the accurate features. We have taken a real-time dataset from the Kaggle to classify the animal by collecting the more relevant features with the help of variable importance measure metric and compared with the other popular machine learning models.

ABSTRACTBackgroundSeveral studies have shown that machine learning algorithms using MRI data can accurately discriminate parkinsonian syndromes. Validation under clinical conditions is missing.ObjectivesTo evaluate the accuracy for the categorization of parkinsonian syndromes of a machine learning algorithm trained with a research cohort and tested on an independent clinical replication cohort.Methods361 subjects, including 94 healthy controls, 139 patients with PD, 60 with PSP with Richardson’s syndrome, 41 with MSA of the parkinsonian variant (MSA-P) and 27 with MSA of the cerebellar variant (MSA-P), were recruited. They were divided into a training cohort (n=179) scanned in a research environment, and a replication cohort (n=182), scanned in clinical conditions on different MRI systems. Volumes and DTI metrics in 13 brain regions were used as input for a supervised machine learning algorithm.ResultHigh accuracy was achieved using volumetry in the classification of PD versus PSP, PD versus MSA-P, PD versus MSA-C, PD versus atypical parkinsonian syndromes and PSP versus MSA-C in both cohorts, although slightly lower in the replication cohort (balanced accuracy: 0.800 to 0.915 in the training cohort; 0.741 to 0.928 in the replication cohort). Performance was lower in the classification of PSP versus MSA-P and MSA-P versus MSA-C. When adding DTI metrics, the performance tended to increase in the training cohort, but not in the replication cohort.ConclusionsA machine learning approach based on volumetric and DTI data can accurately classify subjects with early-stage parkinsonism, scanned on different MRI systems, in the setting of their clinical workup.

The online English teaching system has certain requirements for the intelligent scoring system, and the most difficult stage of intelligent scoring in the English test is to score the English composition through the intelligent model. In order to improve the intelligence of English composition scoring, based on machine learning algorithms, this study combines intelligent image recognition technology to improve machine learning algorithms, and proposes an improved MSER-based character candidate region extraction algorithm and a convolutional neural network-based pseudo-character region filtering algorithm. In addition, in order to verify whether the algorithm model proposed in this paper meets the requirements of the group text, that is, to verify the feasibility of the algorithm, the performance of the model proposed in this study is analyzed through design experiments. Moreover, the basic conditions for composition scoring are input into the model as a constraint model. The research results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has a certain practical effect, and it can be applied to the English assessment system and the online assessment system of the homework evaluation system algorithm system.
