There has been a rapid growth in the field of remote sensing and its various applications in the area of water management. Nowadays, there are several remote sensing techniques that can be used as a source to derive bathymetry data along coastal areas. The key techniques are: sonar (sound navigating and ranging), LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and high-resolution satellite images. The present paper describes a method which was developed and used to create a shallow water bathymetry data along the Dutch side of Sint Maarten Island by combining sonar measurements and satellite images in a nonlinear machine learning technique. The purpose of this work is to develop a bathymetry dataset that can be used to set up physically-based models for coastal flood modelling work. The nonlinear machine learning technique used in the work is a support vector machine (SVM) model. The sonar data were used as an output whereas image data were used as an input into the SVM model. The results were analysed for three depth ranges and the findings are promising. It remains to further verify the capacity of the new method on a dataset with higher resolution satellite imagery.

Silage is the main feed in milk and ruminant meat production in Northern Europe. Novel drone-based remote sensing technology could be utilized in many phases of silage production, but advanced methods of utilizing these data are still developing. Grass swards are harvested three times in season, and fertilizer is applied similarly three times—once for each harvest when aiming at maximum yields. Timely information of the yield is thus necessary several times in a season for making decisions on harvesting time and rate of fertilizer application. Our objective was to develop and assess a novel machine learning technique for the estimation of canopy height and biomass of grass swards utilizing multispectral photogrammetric camera data. Variation in the studied crop stand was generated using six different nitrogen fertilizer levels and four harvesting dates. The sward was a timothy-meadow fescue mixture dominated by timothy. We extracted various features from the remote sensing data by combining an ultra-high resolution photogrammetric canopy height model (CHM) with a pixel size of 1.0 cm and red, green, blue (RGB) and near-infrared range intensity values and different vegetation indices (VI) extracted from orthophoto mosaics. We compared the performance of multiple linear regression (MLR) and a Random Forest estimator (RF) with different combinations of the CHM, RGB and VI features. The best estimation results with both methods were obtained by combining CHM and VI features and all three feature classes (CHM, RGB and VI features). Both estimators provided equally accurate results. The Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC) and Root Mean Square Errors (RMSEs) of the estimations were at best 0.98 and 0.34 t/ha (12.70%), respectively, for the dry matter yield (DMY) and 0.98 and 1.22 t/ha (11.05%), respectively, for the fresh yield (FY) estimations. Our assessment of the sensitivity of the method with respect to different development stages and different amounts of biomass showed that the use of the machine learning technique that integrated multiple features improved the results in comparison to the simple linear regressions. These results were extremely promising, showing that the proposed multispectral photogrammetric approach can provide accurate biomass estimates of grass swards, and could be developed as a low-cost tool for practical farming applications.

In Requirement Engineering, software requirements are classified into two main categories: Functional Requirement (FR) and Non-Functional Requirement (NFR). FR describes user and system goals. NFR includes all constraints on services and functions. Deeper classification of those two categories facilitates the software development process. There are many techniques for classifying FR; some of them are Machine Learning (ML) techniques, and others are traditional. To date, the classification accuracy has not been satisfactory. In this paper, we introduce a new ensemble ML technique for classifying FR statements to improve their accuracy and availability. This technique combines different ML models and uses enhanced accuracy as a weight in the weighted ensemble voting approach. The five combined models are Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Classification (SVC). The technique was implemented, trained, and tested using a collected dataset. The accuracy of classifying FR was 99.45%, and the required time was 0.7 s.

Debris detection and classification is an essential function for autonomous floor-cleaning robots. It enables floor-cleaning robots to identify and avoid hard-to-clean debris, specifically large liquid spillage debris. This paper proposes a debris-detection and classification scheme for an autonomous floor-cleaning robot using a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) cascaded technique. The SSD (Single-Shot MultiBox Detector) MobileNet CNN architecture is used for classifying the solid and liquid spill debris on the floor through the captured image. Then, the SVM model is employed for binary classification of liquid spillage regions based on size, which helps floor-cleaning devices to identify the larger liquid spillage debris regions, considered as hard-to-clean debris in this work. The experimental results prove that the proposed technique can efficiently detect and classify the debris on the floor and achieves 95.5% percent classification accuracy. The cascaded approach takes approximately 71 milliseconds for the entire process of debris detection and classification, which implies that the proposed technique is suitable for deploying in real-time selective floor-cleaning applications.

<p>Information extraction from data is one of the key necessities for data analysis. Unsupervised nature of data leads to complex computational methods for analysis. This paper presents a density based spatial clustering technique integrated with one-class Support Vector Machine (SVM), a machine learning technique for noise reduction, a modified variant of DBSCAN called Noise Reduced DBSCAN (NRDBSCAN). Analysis of DBSCAN exhibits its major requirement of accurate thresholds, absence of which yields suboptimal results. However, identifying accurate threshold settings is unattainable. Noise is one of the major side-effects of the threshold gap. The proposed work reduces noise by integrating a machine learning classifier into the operation structure of DBSCAN. The Experimental results indicate high homogeneity levels in the clustering process.</p>

A wide reach on cancer prediction and detection using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) by the application of artificial intelligence is highly appreciated in the current scenario of the medical field. Next generation sequences were extracted from NCBI (National Centre for Biotechnology Information) gene repository. Sequences of normal Homo sapiens (Class 1), BRCA1 (Class 2) and BRCA2 (Class 3) were extracted for Machine Learning (ML) purpose. The total volume of datasets extracted for the process were 1580 in number under four categories of 50, 100, 150 and 200 sequences. The breast cancer prediction process was carried out in three major steps such as feature extraction, machine learning classification and performance evaluation. The features were extracted with sequences as input. Ten features of DNA sequences such as ORF (Open Reading Frame) count, individual nucleobase average count of A, T, C, G, AT and GC-content, AT/GC composition, G-quadruplex occurrence, MR (Mutation Rate) were extracted from three types of sequences for the classification process. The sequence type was also included as a target variable to the feature set with values 0, 1 and 2 for classes 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Nine various supervised machine learning techniques like LR (Logistic Regression statistical model), LDA (Linear Discriminant analysis model), k-NN (k nearest neighbours’ algorithm), DT (Decision tree technique), NB (Naive Bayes classifier), SVM (Support-Vector Machine algorithm), RF (Random Forest learning algorithm), AdaBoost (AB) and Gradient Boosting (GB) were employed on four various categories of datasets. Of all supervised models, decision tree machine learning technique performed most with maximum accuracy in classification of 94.03%. Classification model performance was evaluated using precision, recall, F1-score and support values wherein F1-score was most similar to the classification accuracy.

Theo Jansen linkage is an appealing mechanism to implement a bio-inspired motion for a legged robot. The oval orbit that is generated by the Theo Jansen linkage, possessing a transversal axis longer than a lateral axis, achieves energy efficient walking comparing to the circular orbit that is generated by the four-bar linkage. However, the ensemble of its links can produce different patterns of orbits other than oval orbits, some of which are not qualified to be the foot trajectories. It is vital to give a guideline, to which one can refer, to ensure the design of a Theo Jansen leg always possessing its eligibility. In this paper, the machine learning technique, called SVM (Support Vector Machine) along with machine vision serving as a classifier to distinguish desired trajectories from undesired ones, is employed and two databases gathering all eligible data concerned with properties of orbits and dimensions of Theo Jansen linkages are established. Based upon SVM to delimit the eligible designs, one can seek the improvement of a Theo Jansen linkage by resizing its links without rendering an ineligible design. The ensemble dimensions of Theo Jansen linkage can be determined by searching the orbits in compliance with the specification of obliqueness and slenderness from the database of properties and using their correspondent identity numbers to list all candidates of TJLs from the database of dimensions. With the aid of this proposed method, the TJLs have been successfully designed and implemented on a legged robot.

High Resolution Satellite Images

In the current era, content based image retrieval based on pattern recognition and classification using machine learning paradigm is an innovative way. In order to retrieve high resolution satellite images Support Vector Machine (SVM) a machine learning paradigm is helpful for learning process and for pattern recognition and classification; ensemble methods give better machine learning results. In this paper, SVM based on random subspace and boosting ensemble learning is proposed for very high resolution satellite image retrieval. The learned SVM ensemble model is used to identify the images that most similar informative for active learning. A bias-weighting system is developed to direct the ensemble model to pay more attention on the positive examples than the negative ones. The UCMerced land use satellite image dataset is used for experimental work. Accuracy and error rate are found to be precise. The tentative effects illustrate that the proposed model derived enhanced retrieval accurateness at the optimum level as well as significantly more effective than existing approaches. The proposed method can diminish the gap dimensionality and conquer the difficulty. The comparisons are evaluated by using precision and recall measurements. Comparative analysis observed that the retrieval time for a particular image have been reduced and the precision is increased. The primary aim of this paper is to represent the significance of ensemble learning with support vector machine in efficient retrieval of image.
