In this study, we propose a new solution based on Adaboost algorithm and Back Propagation Network (BPN) of Neural Network (NN) combining local and global features with cascade architecture to detect human faces. We use Modified Census Transform (MCT) feature that belong to texture features and is less sensitive to illumination for local feature calculation. By this approach, it is not necessary to preprocess each sub-window of the image. For classification, we use the structure of hierarchical feature to control the number of features. With only MCT, it is easy to misjudge faces, and therefore in this work we include the brightness information of global features to eliminate the false positive regions. As a result, the proposed approach can have Detection Rate (DR) of 99%, false positives of only 11, and detection speed of 27.92 Frame Per Second (FPS).

The IP-CAM plays a major role in the context of digital video surveillance systems. The function of face detection can add extra value and can contribute towards an intelligent video surveillance system. The cascaded AdaBoost-based face detection system proposed by Viola can support real-time detection with a high detection rate. The performance of the Alt2 cascade (from OpenCV) in an IP-CAM video is worse than that with regard to static images because the training data set in the Alt2 cannot consider the localized characters in the special IP-CAM video. Therefore, this study presents an enhanced training method using the Adaboost algorithm which is capable of obtaining the localized sampling optimum (LSO) from a local IP-CAM video. In addition, we use an improved motion detection algorithm that cooperates with the former face detector to speed up processing time and achieve a better detection rate on video-rate processing speed. The proposed solution has been developed around the cascaded AdaBoost approach, using the open-CV library, with a LSO from a local IP-CAM video. An efficient motion detection model is adopted for practical applications. The overall system performance using 30% local samples can be improved to a 97.9% detection rate and reduce detection time by 54.5% with regard to the Alt2 cascade.

A novel pedestrian detection system based on vision in urban traffic situations is presented to help the driver perceive the pedestrian ahead of the vehicle. To enhance the accuracy and to decrease the time spent on pedestrian detection in such complicated situations, the pedestrian is detected by dividing their body into several parts according to their corresponding features in the image. The candidate pedestrian leg is segmented based on the gentle AdaBoost algorithm by training the optimized histogram of gradient features. The candidate pedestrian head is located by matching the pedestrian head and shoulder model above the region of the candidate leg. Then the candidate leg, head and shoulder are combined by parts constraint and threshold adjustment to verify the existence of the pedestrian. Finally, the experiments in real urban traffic circumstances were conducted. The results show that the proposed pedestrian detection method can achieve pedestrian detection rate of 92.1% with the average detection time of 0.2257 s.

Recently machine learning based intrusion detection system developments have been subjected to extensive researches because they can detect both misuse detection and anomaly detection. In this paper, we propose an AdaBoost based algorithm for network intrusion detection system with single weak classifier. In this algorithm, the classifiers such as Bayes Net, Naïve Bayes and Decision tree are used as weak classifiers. KDDCup99 dataset is used in these experiments to demonstrate that boosting algorithm can greatly improve the classification accuracy of weak classification algorithms. Our approach achieves higher detection rate with low false alarm rates and is scalable for large datasets, resulting in an effective intrusion detection system.

In this paper, we perform image labeling based on the probabilistic integration of local and global features. Several conventional methods label pixels or regions using features extracted from local regions and local contextual relationships between neighboring regions. However, labeling results tend to depend on local viewpoints. To overcome this problem, we propose an image labeling method that utilizes both local and global features. We compute the posterior probability distributions of the local and global features independently, and they are integrated by the product. To compute the probability of the global region (entire image), Bag-of-Words is used. In contrast, local cooccurrence between color and texture features is used to compute local probability. In the experiments, we use the MSRC21 dataset. The result demonstrates that the use of global viewpoint significantly improves labeling accuracy.

A comparison between artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models was employed to predict the heat of combustion, and the gross and net heat values, of a diesel fuel engine, based on the chemical composition of the diesel fuel. One hundred and fifty samples of Iraqi diesel provided data from chromatographic analysis. Eight parameters were applied as inputs in order to predict the gross and net heat combustion of the diesel fuel. A trial-and-error method was used to determine the shape of the individual ANN. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of the ANN model was greater than that of the MLR model in predicting the gross heat value. The best neural network for predicting the gross heating value was a back-propagation network (8-8-1), using the Levenberg�Marquardt algorithm for the second step of network training. R = 0.98502 for the test data. In the same way, the best neural network for predicting the net heating value was a back-propagation network (8-5-1), using the Levenberg�Marquardt algorithm for the second step of network training. R = 0.95112 for the test data.

Abstract Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular diseases. Electrocardiography (ECG) is generally used to screen LVH in general population and electrocardiographic LVH is further confirmed by transthoracic echocardiography (Echo). Purpose We aimed to establish an ECG LVH detection system that was validated by echo LVH. Methods We collected the data of ECGs and Echo from the previous database. The voltage of R- and S-amplitude in each ECG lead were measured twice by a study assistance blinded to the study design, (artificially measured). Another knowledge engineer analyzed row signals of ECG (the algorithm). We firstly check the correlation of R- and S-amplitude between the artificially measured and the algorythm. ECG LVH is defined by the voltage criteria and Echo LVH is defined by LV mass index >115 g/m2 in men and >95 g/m2 in women. Then we use decision tree, k-means, and back propagation neural network (BPNN) with or without heart beat segmentation to establish a rapid and accurate LVH detection system. The ratio of training set to test set was 7:3. Results The study consisted of a sample size of 953 individuals (90% male) with 173 Echo LVH. The R- and S-amplitude were highly correlated between artificially measured and the algorithm R- and S-amplitude regarding that the Pearson correlation coefficient were >0.9 in each lead (the highest r of 0.997 in RV5 and the lowest r of 0.904 in aVR). Without heart beat segmentation, the accuracy of decision tree, k-means, and BPNN to predict echo LVH were 0.74, 0.73 and 0.51, respectively. With heart beat segmentation, the signal of Echo LVH expanded to 1466, and the accuracy to predict ECG LVH were obviously improved (0.92 for decision tree, 0.96 for k-means, and 0.59 for BPNN). Conclusions Our study showed that machine-learning model by BPNN had the highest accuracy than decision trees and k-means based on ECG R- and S-amplitude signal analyses. Figure 1.
