New Feature

The feature vectors of speaker identification system plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the system. There are many new feature vectors extraction methods based on MFCC, but ultimately we want to maximize the performance of SID system.  The objective of this paper to derive Gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC) based a new set of feature vectors using Gaussian Mixer model (GMM) for speaker identification. The MFCC are the default feature vectors for speaker recognition, but they are not very robust at the presence of additive noise. The GFCC features in recent studies have shown very good robustness against noise and acoustic change. The main idea is  GFCC features based on GMM feature extraction is to improve the overall speaker identification performance in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) conditions.

This research work develops a new method to detect the forgery in image by combining the Wavelet transform and modified Zernike Moments (MZMs) in which the features are defined from more pixels than in traditional Zernike Moments. The tested image is firstly converted to grayscale and applied one level Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to reduce the size of image by a half in both sides. The approximation sub-band (LL), which is used for processing, is then divided into overlapping blocks and modified Zernike moments are calculated in each block as feature vectors. More pixels are considered, more sufficient features are extracted. Lexicographical sorting and correlation coefficients computation on feature vectors are next steps to find the similar blocks. The purpose of applying DWT to reduce the dimension of the image before using Zernike moments with updated coefficients is to improve the computational time and increase exactness in detection. Copied or duplicated parts will be detected as traces of copy-move forgery manipulation based on a threshold of correlation coefficients and confirmed exactly from the constraint of Euclidean distance. Comparisons results between proposed method and related ones prove the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Flux Leakage

The internal detector in a pipeline needs to use the ground marker to record the elapsed time for accurate positioning. Most existing ground markers use the magnetic flux leakage testing principle to detect whether the internal detector passes. However, this paper uses the method of detecting vibration signals to track and locate the internal detector. The Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) algorithm is used to extract features, which solves the defect of large noise and many disturbances of vibration signals. In this way, the detection range is expanded, and some non-magnetic flux leakage internal detectors can also be located. Firstly, the extracted vibration signals are denoised by the VMD algorithm, then kurtosis value and power value are extracted from the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) to form feature vectors, and finally the feature vectors are input into random forest and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for classification. Experimental research shows that the method designed in this paper, which combines VMD with a machine learning classifier, can effectively use vibration signals to locate the internal detector and has the characteristics of high accuracy and good adaptability.

The Cross

In this study, algorithms to detect post-falls were evaluated using the cross-dataset according to feature vectors (time-series and discrete data), classifiers (ANN and SVM), and four different processing conditions (normalization, equalization, increase in the number of training data, and additional training with external data). Three-axis acceleration and angular velocity data were obtained from 30 healthy male subjects by attaching an IMU to the middle of the left and right anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS). Internal and external tests were performed using our lab dataset and SisFall public dataset, respectively. The results showed that ANN and SVM were suitable for the time-series and discrete data, respectively. The classification performance generally decreased, and thus, specific feature vectors from the raw data were necessary when untrained motions were tested using a public dataset. Normalization made SVM and ANN more and less effective, respectively. Equalization increased the sensitivity, even though it did not improve the overall performance. The increase in the number of training data also improved the classification performance. Machine learning was vulnerable to untrained motions, and data of various movements were needed for the training.

Pipeline leakage is the main reason that affects normal operation of the pipeline. In this paper, a feature recognition method for pipeline acoustic signals based on vocational mode decomposition (VMD) and exponential entropy (EE) is investigated, which could extract the characteristics of pipeline signals and further accurately identify the pipeline acoustic signals under different working conditions. First, the VMD is used to decompose the collected acoustic signals into a number of mode components, during which process the optimal mode number (i.e., K-value) is determined by combining local characteristic scale decomposition (LCD) and correlation analysis methods. Then, the characteristic content of each mode component is analyzed with the help of the determined correlation coefficient (CC) threshold. If the correlation coefficient of a mode component is greater than the threshold, then the mode component is selected as the feature component. Subsequently, the EE values of the selected feature components are calculated to form the feature vectors corresponding to different kinds of pipeline signals. Finally, the feature vectors are input into support vector machine (SVM) to classify and recognize the different pipeline states. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can identify the pipeline signals under different working conditions, and the recognition accuracy is up to [Formula: see text]. By analyzing and comparing with methods of EE-SVM, original data-SVM, VMD-singular spectrum entropy (SSE) and VMD-information entropy (IE), it is further verified that the proposed method is feasible and superior to the methods.

Leibler Divergence

Recently, deep learning (DL) has been successfully applied in automatic target recognition (ATR) tasks of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. However, limited by the lack of SAR image target datasets and the high cost of labeling, these existing DL based approaches can only accurately recognize the target in the training dataset. Therefore, high precision identification of unknown SAR targets in practical applications is one of the important capabilities that the SAR–ATR system should equip. To this end, we propose a novel DL based identification method for unknown SAR targets with joint discrimination. First of all, the feature extraction network (FEN) trained on a limited dataset is used to extract the SAR target features, and then the unknown targets are roughly identified from the known targets by computing the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) of the target feature vectors. For the targets that cannot be distinguished by KLD, their feature vectors perform t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) dimensionality reduction processing to calculate the relative position angle (RPA). Finally, the known and unknown targets are finely identified based on RPA. Experimental results conducted on the MSTAR dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve higher identification accuracy of unknown SAR targets than existing methods while maintaining high recognition accuracy of known targets.

AbstractIn any multi-script environment, handwritten script classification is an unavoidable pre-requisite before the document images are fed to their respective Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines. Over the years, this complex pattern classification problem has been solved by researchers proposing various feature vectors mostly having large dimensions, thereby increasing the computation complexity of the whole classification model. Feature Selection (FS) can serve as an intermediate step to reduce the size of the feature vectors by restricting them only to the essential and relevant features. In the present work, we have addressed this issue by introducing a new FS algorithm, called Hybrid Swarm and Gravitation-based FS (HSGFS). This algorithm has been applied over three feature vectors introduced in the literature recently—Distance-Hough Transform (DHT), Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), and Modified log-Gabor (MLG) filter Transform. Three state-of-the-art classifiers, namely, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), are used to evaluate the optimal subset of features generated by the proposed FS model. Handwritten datasets at block, text line, and word level, consisting of officially recognized 12 Indic scripts, are prepared for experimentation. An average improvement in the range of 2–5% is achieved in the classification accuracy by utilizing only about 75–80% of the original feature vectors on all three datasets. The proposed method also shows better performance when compared to some popularly used FS models. The codes used for implementing HSGFS can be found in the following Github link: https://github.com/Ritam-Guha/HSGFS.
