The correct classification of images is an important application in the monitoring of Internet of things (IoT). In the research of IoT images, a key issue is to recognize multi-class images at a high accuracy. As a result, this paper puts forward a classification method for multi-class images based on multiple linear regression (MLR). Firstly, the convolutional neural network (CNN) was improved to automatically generate a network from the IoT terminals, and used to classify images into disjoint class sets (clusters), which were processed by the subsequently constructed expert network. After that, the MLR was introduced to evaluate the accuracy and robustness of the classification of multi-class images. Finally, the proposed method has been verified on CIFAR-10, CIfar-100 and MNIST, etc. benchmark data sets. Our method was found to outperform other methods in classification, and improve the accuracy of the classic AlexNet by 2%. The research results provide theoretical evidence and lay practical basis for the classification of multi-class IoT images.

Abstract. Orbital images have been increasingly refined spatially as spectrally as that is the case with those provided by satellite Earth observation WorldView-3 used in this paper. However, the images are very susceptible to noise interference, so it is difficult to identify and characterize objects. Therefore, it is essential to use techniques to minimize them. Thus, through increasingly innovative processing, it is possible to carry out detailed characterization mainly of urban areas. This work aims to perform the classification of images Worldview-3 using the advanced methods of classification Random Forest and Deep Learning for the region of Botafogo in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Such classifications were performed for four different data sets, including the spectral bands and transformations (MNF and PCA) resulting from the original images. The results demonstrate that the use of transformations resulting from the original images as input data for the extraction of attributes in conjunction with the spectral bands improves the accuracy of the classifications generated by the Random Forest and Deep Learning method.

This article deals with method of binary classification of images with small text on them Classification is based on the fact that the text can have 2 directions – it can be positioned horizontally and read from left to right or it can be turned 180 degrees so the image must be rotated to read the sign. This type of text can be found on the covers of a variety of books, so in case of recognizing the covers, it is necessary first to determine the direction of the text before we will directly recognize it. The article suggests the development of a deep neural network for determination of the text position in the context of book covers recognizing. The results of training and testing of a convolutional neural network on synthetic data as well as the examples of the network functioning on the real data are presented.

AbstractAlthough convolutional neural networks have achieved success in the field of image classification, there are still challenges in the field of agricultural product quality sorting such as machine vision-based jujube defects detection. The performance of jujube defect detection mainly depends on the feature extraction and the classifier used. Due to the diversity of the jujube materials and the variability of the testing environment, the traditional method of manually extracting the features often fails to meet the requirements of practical application. In this paper, a jujube sorting model in small data sets based on convolutional neural network and transfer learning is proposed to meet the actual demand of jujube defects detection. Firstly, the original images collected from the actual jujube sorting production line were pre-processed, and the data were augmented to establish a data set of five categories of jujube defects. The original CNN model is then improved by embedding the SE module and using the triplet loss function and the center loss function to replace the softmax loss function. Finally, the depth pre-training model on the ImageNet image data set was used to conduct training on the jujube defects data set, so that the parameters of the pre-training model could fit the parameter distribution of the jujube defects image, and the parameter distribution was transferred to the jujube defects data set to complete the transfer of the model and realize the detection and classification of the jujube defects. The classification results are visualized by heatmap through the analysis of classification accuracy and confusion matrix compared with the comparison models. The experimental results show that the SE-ResNet50-CL model optimizes the fine-grained classification problem of jujube defect recognition, and the test accuracy reaches 94.15%. The model has good stability and high recognition accuracy in complex environments.

A vehicle make and model recognition (VMMR) system is a common requirement in the field of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). However, it is a challenging task because of the subtle differences between vehicle categories. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical scheme for VMMR. Specifically, the scheme consists of (1) a feature extraction framework called weighted mask hierarchical bilinear pooling (WMHBP) based on hierarchical bilinear pooling (HBP) which weakens the influence of invalid background regions by generating a weighted mask while extracting features from discriminative regions to form a more robust feature descriptor; (2) a hierarchical loss function that can learn the appearance differences between vehicle brands, and enhance vehicle recognition accuracy; (3) collection of vehicle images from the Internet and classification of images with hierarchical labels to augment data for solving the problem of insufficient data and low picture resolution and improving the model’s generalization ability and robustness. We evaluate the proposed framework for accuracy and real-time performance and the experiment results indicate a recognition accuracy of 95.1% and an FPS (frames per second) of 107 for the framework for the Stanford Cars public dataset, which demonstrates the superiority of the method and its availability for ITS.

Classification tree is a widely used machine learning method. It has multiple implementations as R packages; rpart, ctree, evtree, tree and C5.0. The details of these implementations are not the same, and hence their performances differ from one application to another. We are interested in their performance in the classification of cells using the single-cell RNA-Sequencing data. In this paper, we conducted a benchmark study using 22 Single-Cell RNA-sequencing data sets. Using cross-validation, we compare packages’ prediction performances based on their Precision, Recall, F1-score, Area Under the Curve (AUC). We also compared the Complexity and Run-time of these R packages. Our study shows that rpart and evtree have the best Precision; evtree is the best in Recall, F1-score and AUC; C5.0 prefers more complex trees; tree is consistently much faster than others, although its complexity is often higher than others.

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is a useful technique for determining some physical characteristics of materials, and is based on selective frequency absorption of a broad-spectrum electromagnetic pulse. In order to investigate the potential of this technology to classify cocoa percentages in chocolates, the terahertz spectra (0.5–10 THz) of five chocolate samples (50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% of cocoa) were examined. The acquired data matrices were analyzed with the MATLAB 2019b application, from which the dielectric function was obtained along with the absorbance curves, and were classified by using 24 mathematical classification models, achieving differentiations of around 93% obtained by the Gaussian SVM algorithm model with a kernel scale of 0.35 and a one-against-one multiclass method. It was concluded that the combined processing and classification of images obtained from the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and the use of machine learning algorithms can be used to successfully classify chocolates with different percentages of cocoa.
