In this paper, we propose an aurora classification method using a multi-level feature representation aimed to capture both global and local texture information, and to reduce the feature space dimension substantially. First-order and second-order statistics are computed for an input image and its low-frequency scaled images at three lower levels obtained using wavelet decomposition. The features include gray level distribution, co-occurrence matrix features, and run-length matrix features. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was trained and tested on a Chinese Arctic Yellow River Station dayside aurora image dataset. Classification performance was evaluated and compared with those of k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifiers and back-propagation neural networks (BPNN). To explore the possibility of using a smaller feature space, we used a Minimum-Redundancy Max-Relevance feature selection strategy. The result shows that there is only indistinct performance decrease by reducing the feature vector from a total of 88 to the most discriminatory 38 features. This proves that our multi-level feature representation is very robust.

BACKGROUND Driven by the increasing demand for potential patients to monitor their own heart health, wearable technology is increasingly helping people to better monitor their heart health status at a medical level. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a flexible and non-contact wearable electrocardiogram system, which can achieve real-time monitoring and primary diagnosis. METHODS A flexible electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition device (wearable ECG) is designed based on flexible front-end circuit and textile capacitive electrodes, which are based on a conductive textile instead of rigid metal plates. The multi-domain feature space consists of time-domain features and frequency-domain statistical features, which can be used for classification via a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and a support vector machine (SVM), both of which are optimized using a genetic algorithm. RESULTS The BPNN classifier exhibits good performance, with an accuracy of 98.33%, a sensitivity of 98.33%, a specificity of 99.63% and a positive predictive value of 97.85%. The SVM classifier achieves a higher classification accuracy of 98.89% and also performs better than the BPNN classifier in terms of the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value, achieving values of 98.89%, 99.81% and 98.89%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The experimental results reveal that there is a better classification effect of SVM when classifying normal heart rhythms and 8 types of arrhythmia. The proposed wearable ECG monitoring can aid in the primary diagnosis of certain heart diseases.

AbstractMotivationCardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death globally accounting for approximately 17.7 million deaths per year. One of the stakes linked with cardiovascular diseases and other complications is hypertension. Naturally derived bioactive peptides with antihypertensive activities serve as promising alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs. So far, there is no comprehensive analysis, assessment of diverse features and implementation of various machine-learning (ML) algorithms applied for antihypertensive peptide (AHTP) model construction.ResultsIn this study, we utilized six different ML algorithms, namely, Adaboost, extremely randomized tree (ERT), gradient boosting (GB), k-nearest neighbor, random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) using 51 feature descriptors derived from eight different feature encodings for the prediction of AHTPs. While ERT-based trained models performed consistently better than other algorithms regardless of various feature descriptors, we treated them as baseline predictors, whose predicted probability of AHTPs was further used as input features separately for four different ML-algorithms (ERT, GB, RF and SVM) and developed their corresponding meta-predictors using a two-step feature selection protocol. Subsequently, the integration of four meta-predictors through an ensemble learning approach improved the balanced prediction performance and model robustness on the independent dataset. Upon comparison with existing methods, mAHTPred showed superior performance with an overall improvement of approximately 6–7% in both benchmarking and independent datasets.Availability and implementationThe user-friendly online prediction tool, mAHTPred is freely accessible at http://thegleelab.org/mAHTPred.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

The formation of malignant neoplasm can be seen as deterioration of a pre-malignant skin neoplasm in its functionality and structure. Distinguishing melanocytic skin neoplasms is a challenging task due to their high visual similarity with different types of lesions and the intra-structural variants of melanocytic neoplasms. Besides, there is a high visual likeliness level between different lesion types with inhomogeneous features and fuzzy boundaries. The abnormal growth of melanocytic neoplasms takes various forms from uniform typical pigment network to irregular atypical shape, which can be described by border irregularity of melanocyte lesion image. This work proposes analytical reasoning for the human-observable phenomenon as a high-level feature to determine the neoplasm growth phase using a novel pixel-based feature space. The pixel-based feature space, which is comprised of high-level features and other color and texture features, are fed into the classifier to classify different melanocyte neoplasm phases. The proposed system was evaluated on the PH2 dermoscopic images benchmark dataset. It achieved an average accuracy of 95.1% using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel. Furthermore, it reached an average Disc similarity coefficient (DSC) of 95.1%, an area under the curve (AUC) of 96.9%, and a sensitivity of 99%. The results of the proposed system outperform the results of other state-of-the-art multiclass techniques.

This paper, proposes a novel approach for feature extraction based on the segmentation and morphological alteration of handwritten multi-lingual characters. We explored multi-resolution and multi-directional transforms such as wavelet, curvelet and ridgelet transform to extract classifying features of handwritten multi-lingual images. Evaluating the pros and cons of each multi-resolution algorithm has been discussed and resolved that Curvelet-based features extraction is most promising for multi-lingual character recognition. We have also applied some morphological operation such as thinning and thickening then feature level fusion is performed in order to create robust feature vector for classification. The classification is performed with K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifier with their relative performance. We experiment with our in-house dataset, compiled in our lab by more than 50 personnel.

Hoisting System

With the arrival of the big data era, it has become possible to apply deep learning to the health monitoring of mine production. In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method is proposed to monitor the health condition of the balancing tail ropes (BTRs) of the hoisting system, in which the feature of the BTR image is adaptively extracted using a CNN. This method can automatically detect various BTR faults in real-time, including disproportional spacing, twisted rope, broken strand and broken rope faults. Firstly, a CNN structure is proposed, and regularization technology is adopted to prevent overfitting. Then, a method of image dataset description and establishment that can cover the entire feature space of overhanging BTRs is put forward. Finally, the CNN and two traditional data mining algorithms, namely, k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and an artificial neural network with back propagation (ANN-BP), are adopted to train and test the established dataset, and the influence of hyperparameters on the network diagnostic accuracy is investigated experimentally. The experimental results showed that the CNN could effectively avoid complex steps such as manual feature extraction, that the learning rate and batch-size strongly affected the accuracy and training efficiency, and that the fault diagnosis accuracy of CNN was 100%, which was higher than that of KNN and ANN-BP. Therefore, the proposed CNN with high accuracy, real-time functioning and generalization performance is suitable for application in the health monitoring of hoisting system BTRs.

This study aims at classifying flat ground tricks, namely Ollie, Kickflip, Shove-it, Nollie and Frontside 180, through the identification of significant input image transformation on different transfer learning models with optimized Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. A total of six amateur skateboarders (20 ± 7 years of age with at least 5.0 years of experience) executed five tricks for each type of trick repeatedly on a customized ORY skateboard (IMU sensor fused) on a cemented ground. From the IMU data, a total of six raw signals extracted. A total of two input image type, namely raw data (RAW) and Continous Wavelet Transform (CWT), as well as six transfer learning models from three different families along with grid-searched optimized SVM, were investigated towards its efficacy in classifying the skateboarding tricks. It was shown from the study that RAW and CWT input images on MobileNet, MobileNetV2 and ResNet101 transfer learning models demonstrated the best test accuracy at 100% on the test dataset. Nonetheless, by evaluating the computational time amongst the best models, it was established that the CWT-MobileNet-Optimized SVM pipeline was found to be the best. It could be concluded that the proposed method is able to facilitate the judges as well as coaches in identifying skateboarding tricks execution.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Remote sensing techniques provide efficient and cost-effective approach to monitor the expansion of built-up area, in comparison to other traditional approaches. For extracting built-up class, one of the common approaches is to use spectral and spatial features such as, Normalized Difference Built- up index (NDBI), GLCM texture, Gabor filters etc. However, it is observed that classes such as river soil and fallow land usually mix up with built-up class due to their close spectral similarity. Intermixing of classes have been observed in the classified image when using spectral channels. In this paper, an approach has been proposed which uses urban based spectral indices and textural features to extract built-up areas. Three well known spectral indices i.e. NDBI, Built-up Area Extraction Index (BAEI) and Normalized Difference Bareness Index (NDBai) have been used in this work. Along with spectral indices, local spatial dependency of neighborhood regions is captured using eight GLCM based textural feature, such as, Contrast, Correlation, Energy and Homogeneity etc. for each image band. All textural and spectral indices bands are combined and used for extracting built-up areas using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Results suggest 4.91% increase in overall accuracy when using texture and spectral indices in comparison with 84.38% overall accuracy achieved when using spectral data only. It is observed that built-up class are more separable in the projected spectral-spatial feature space in comparison to spectral channels. Incorporation of textural features with spectral features reduces the misclassification error and provides results with less salt and pepper noise.</p>

Hyperspectral imagery is a rich source of spectral information and plays very important role in discrimination of similar land-cover classes. In the past, several efforts have been investigated for improvement of hyperspectral imagery classification. Recently the interest in the joint use of LiDAR data and hyperspectral imagery has been remarkably increased. Because LiDAR can provide structural information of scene while hyperspectral imagery provide spectral and spatial information. The complementary information of LiDAR and hyperspectral data may greatly improve the classification performance especially in the complex urban area. In this paper feature level fusion of hyperspectral and LiDAR data is proposed where spectral and structural features are extract from both dataset, then hybrid feature space is generated by feature stacking. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is applied on hybrid feature space to classify the urban area. In order to optimize the classification performance, two issues should be considered: SVM parameters values determination and feature subset selection. Bees Algorithm (BA) is powerful meta-heuristic optimization algorithm which is applied to determine the optimum SVM parameters and select the optimum feature subset simultaneously. The obtained results show the proposed method can improve the classification accuracy in addition to reducing significantly the dimension of feature space.

Breast cancer is a disease that has emerged as the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. The annual mortality rate is estimated to continue growing. Cancer detection at an early stage could significantly reduce breast cancer death rates long-term. Many investigators have studied different breast diagnostic approaches, such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computerized tomography, positron emission tomography and biopsy. However, these techniques have limitations, such as being expensive, time consuming and not suitable for women of all ages. Proposing techniques that support the effective medical diagnosis of this disease has undoubtedly become a priority for the government, for health institutions and for civil society in general. In this paper, an associative pattern classifier (APC) was used for the diagnosis of breast cancer. The rate of efficiency obtained on the Wisconsin breast cancer database was 97.31%. The APC’s performance was compared with the performance of a support vector machine (SVM) model, back-propagation neural networks, C4.5, naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) and minimum distance classifiers. According to our results, the APC performed best. The algorithm of the APC was written and executed in a JAVA platform, as well as the experimental and comparativeness between algorithms.

Credit scoring is an important topic for businesses and socio-economic establishments collecting huge amounts of data, with the intention of making the wrong decision obsolete. In this paper, the authors propose four approaches that combine four well-known classifiers, such as K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Back-Propagation Network (BPN) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). These classifiers are used to find a suitable hybrid classifier combination featuring selection that retains sufficient information for classification purposes. In this regard, different credit scoring combinations are constructed by selecting features with four approaches and classifiers than would otherwise be chosen. Two credit data sets from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), are chosen to evaluate the accuracy of the various hybrid features selection models. In this paper, the procedures that are part of the proposed approaches are described and then evaluated for their performances.
