Advantages And Disadvantages

With the help of the study on mathematical theory and its progress and the development of the computer techniques, digital image processing technology has more and more been applied in each field. The pattern recognition judges unknown things by substituting machine for human eyes, which has a high application value. Thus, it becomes the major branch in image processing fields. The character recognition technology has developed rapidly because of its broad application prospect. Until now, it has been applied successfully in OCR and vehicle license plate recognition. However, it has certain difficulty for the pattern recognition to meet the specific requirements related to specific work scenes. This essay discusses several Eigen value selecting approaches and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each. For the template matching methods with penalty factors, in design, character recognition algorithm based on the principal component analysis is realized where scattering matrix between classes is as produced matrix.

Principal Component Analysis Algorithm

In the past, the license plate recognition algorithm has some shortcomings, such as low recognition rate, slow speed of recognition, inaccurate license plate positioning. This paper proposes a new license plate location algorithm based on wavelet transform and the principal component analysis algorithm is used to feature extraction.The experimental results show that this method can reduce the amount of computation and improve the system recognition rate.

Background: The Intermittent Claudication Questionnaire (ICQ) is a short questionnaire for the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). The objective of this study was to translate the ICQ into German and to investigate the psychometric properties of the German ICQ version in patients with IC. Patients and methods: The original English version was translated using a forward-backward method. The resulting German version was reviewed by the author of the original version and an experienced clinician. Finally, it was tested for clarity with 5 German patients with IC. A sample of 81 patients were administered the German ICQ. The sample consisted of 58.0 % male patients with a median age of 71 years and a median IC duration of 36 months. Test of feasibility included completeness of questionnaires, completion time, and ratings of clarity, length and relevance. Reliability was assessed through a retest in 13 patients at 14 days, and analysis of Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency. Construct validity was investigated using principal component analysis. Concurrent validity was assessed by correlating the ICQ scores with the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) as well as clinical measures. Results: The ICQ was completely filled in by 73 subjects (90.1 %) with an average completion time of 6.3 minutes. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reached 0.75. Intra-class correlation for test-retest reliability was r = 0.88. Principal component analysis resulted in a 3 factor solution. The first factor explained 51.5 of the total variation and all items had loadings of at least 0.65 on it. The ICQ was significantly associated with the SF-36 and treadmill-walking distances whereas no association was found for resting ABPI. Conclusions: The German version of the ICQ demonstrated good feasibility, satisfactory reliability and good validity. Responsiveness should be investigated in further validation studies.
