To deal with the problem of reliability degradation of radar emitter identification (REID) based on the traditional five parameters in a complex electromagnetic environment, a new feature extraction method based on the autocorrelation function of coherent signals, which makes full use of the coherent characteristic of modern radar emitters, is proposed in this paper. The main idea of this paper is utilizing the instantaneous autocorrelation function to obtain the correlation results of coherent and noncoherent signals. To this end, a new feature parameter, named the ratio of the secondary peak value to the main peak value (SMR), is defined to describe the difference of correlation results between coherent and noncoherent signals. Through simulation analysis, the feasibility of using SMR as the coherent feature for REID is verified. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the coherent feature, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was introduced to compare the comprehensive performance of the coherent feature and the existing parameters, and then convolution neural network (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM) were selected as the classifier to check the recognition capability of the proposed feature. Simulation results show that the proposed feature can not only be used as a new feature for REID but can also be used as a supplement to existing feature parameters to improve the accuracy of REID as it is more insensitive to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal modulation type changes.

Aiming at the problem of reliability reduction of signal sorting in terms of the traditional five parameters and intrapulse feature in a complex electromagnetic environment, a new signal sorting method based on radar coherent characteristics is proposed. The main idea of this method is using spectrum analysis to obtain the spectrum images of coherent and noncoherent signals. Image-processing technology is used to extract the feature difference between the two spectrum images, and the central-moment feature is introduced to describe this difference. Through simulation analysis, the feasibility of using the central-moment feature as the coherent feature for signal sorting was proved. In order to check the effectiveness of the proposed feature, a number of simulations were conducted to demonstrate the sorting capability in terms of the coherent feature. From the simulations, it can be seen that the proposed feature not only can be used as a new feature for signal sorting but also that it can be utilized as a supplement for five typical parameters and the intrapulse feature to improve the sorting accuracy rate. Simulations also showed the proposed method could achieve satisfactory sorting results in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). When the SNR was 5 dB, the sorting accuracy rate could reach 98%.

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.

Abstract For wireless transmission, radio-frequency device anti-cloning has become a major security issue. Radio-frequency distinct native attribute (RF-DNA) fingerprint is a developing technology to find the difference among RF devices and identify them. Comparing with previous research, (1) this paper proposed that mean (μ) feature should be added into RF-DNA fingerprint. Thus, totally four statistics (mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis) were calculated on instantaneous amplitude, phase, and frequency generated by Hilbert transform. (2) We first proposed using the logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) to recognize such extracted fingerprint at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment. We compared their performance with traditional multiple discriminant analysis (MDA). (3) In addition, this paper also proposed to extract three sub-features (amplitude, phase, and frequency) separately to recognize extracted fingerprint under MDA. In order to make our results more universal, additive white Gaussian noise was adopted to simulate the real environment. The results show that (1) mean feature conducts an improvement in the classification accuracy, especially in low SNR environment. (2) MDA and SVM could successfully identify these RF devices, and the classification accuracy could reach 94%. Although the classification accuracy of LR is 89.2%, it could get the probability of each class. After adding a different noise, the recognition accuracy is more than 80% when SNR≥5 dB using MDA or SVM. (3) Frequency feature has more discriminant information. Phase and amplitude play an auxiliary but also pivotal role in classification recognition.

This paper proposes a new feature extraction method for off-line recognition of Myanmar printed documents. One of the most important factors to achieve high recognition performance in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system is the selection of the feature extraction methods. Different types of existing OCR systems used various feature extraction methods because of the diversity of the scripts’ natures. One major contribution of the work in this paper is the design of logically rigorous coding based features. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper assumed the documents are successfully segmented into characters and extracted features from these isolated Myanmar characters. These features are extracted using structural analysis of the Myanmar scripts. The experimental results have been carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and compare the pervious proposed feature extraction method.

Latent Semantic Indexing(LSI) is an effective feature extraction method which can capture the underlying latent semantic structure between words in documents. However, it is probably not the most appropriate for text categorization to use the method to select feature subspace, since the method orders extracted features according to their variance,not the classification power. We proposed a method based on support vector machine to extract features and select a Latent Semantic Indexing that be suited for classification. Experimental results indicate that the method improves classification performance with more compact representation.

Aircraft type recognition plays an important role in remote sensing image interpretation. Traditional methods suffer from bad generalization performance, while deep learning methods require large amounts of data with type labels, which are quite expensive and time-consuming to obtain. To overcome the aforementioned problems, in this paper, we propose an aircraft type recognition framework based on conditional generative adversarial networks (GANs). First, we design a new method to precisely detect aircrafts’ keypoints, which are used to generate aircraft masks and locate the positions of the aircrafts. Second, a conditional GAN with a region of interest (ROI)-weighted loss function is trained on unlabeled aircraft images and their corresponding masks. Third, an ROI feature extraction method is carefully designed to extract multi-scale features from the GAN in the regions of aircrafts. After that, a linear support vector machine (SVM) classifier is adopted to classify each sample using their features. Benefiting from the GAN, we can learn features which are strong enough to represent aircrafts based on a large unlabeled dataset. Additionally, the ROI-weighted loss function and the ROI feature extraction method make the features more related to the aircrafts rather than the background, which improves the quality of features and increases the recognition accuracy significantly. Thorough experiments were conducted on a challenging dataset, and the results prove the effectiveness of the proposed aircraft type recognition framework.

This paper proposes an improved acquisition method for high-order binary-offset-carrier (BOC) modulated signals based on fractal geometry. We introduced the principle of our acquisition method, and outlined its framework. We increase the main peak to side peaks ratio in the BOC autocorrelation function (ACF), with a simple fractal geometry transform. The proposed scheme is applicable to both generic high-order sine-and cosine-phased BOC-modulated signals. Simulation results show that the proposed method increases output signal to noise ratio (SNR).

Hot strip tail flick is an abnormal production phenomenon, which brings many damages. To recognize the tail flick signals from all throwing steel strip signals, a feature extraction method based on morphological pattern spectrum is proposed in this paper. The area between signal curves after multiscale opening operation and the horizontal axis is computed as the pattern spectrum value and it reflects the geometric information differences. Then, support vector machine is used as the classifier. Experimental results show that the total correct rate based on pattern spectrum feature reached 96.5%. Compared with wavelet packet energy feature, the total correct rate is 92.1%. So, the feasibility and availability of this new feature extraction method are verified.
