Detection of a vehicle is a very important aspect for traffic monitoring. It is based on the concept of moving object detection. Classifying the detected object as vehicle and class of vehicle is also having application in various application domains. This paper aims at providing an application of vehicle detection and classification concept to detect vehicles along curved roads in Indian scenarios. The main purpose is to ensure safety in such roads. Gaussian mixture model and blob analysis are the methods applied for the detection of vehicles. Morphological operations are used to eliminate noise. The moving vehicles are detected and the class of the vehicle is identified.

Classification of gene expression samples is a core task in microarray data analysis. How to reduce thousands of genes and to select a suitable classifier are two key issues for gene expression data classification. This paper introduces a framework on combining both feature extraction and classifier simultaneously. Considering the non-negativity, high dimensionality and small sample size, we apply a discriminative mixture model which is designed for non-negative gene express data classification via non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for dimension reduction. In order to enhance the sparseness of training data for fast learning of the mixture model, a generalized NMF is also adopted. Experimental results on several real gene expression datasets show that the classification accuracy, stability and decision quality can be significantly improved by using the generalized method, and the proposed method can give better performance than some previous reported results on the same datasets.

Background: In the pulmonary nodules computer aided diagnosis systems (CAD), feature selection plays an important role in reducing the false positive rate and improving the system accuracy. To solve the problem of feature selection techniques by which the diversity of features was damaged in the process of distinguishing malignant pulmonary nodules from benign pulmonary nodules, this study developed a novel feature selection algorithm for improving the accuracy of traditional computer-aided differential diagnosis for benign and malignant classification of pulmonary nodules. Method: Firstly, we divided the extracted features of nodules into several groups by using Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Secondly, we applied Relief and sequential forward selection (SFS) algorithm to find local optimum features dataset for each group. Afterwards, we used the optimumpath forest (OPF) classifier with the found features dataset to obtain the classification results. Finally, the local optimum features dataset with the highest area under curve AUC in all groups were added into the final selected set. Results: According to collected pulmonary nodules on computed tomography (CT) scans, tested with two set of samples, we achieved an average accuracy of 89.5%, sensitivity of 87.1% and specificity of 90.9% on the first set of samples, and 90.1%, 88.7% and 92.1% on the second set of samples. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves based on these two sample sets were 95.2%, and 96.3% respectively. Conclusions: This study shows that the proposed method was promising for improving the pulmonary nodules computer aided diagnosis systems performance of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules.
