This article describes and analyzes the new feature extraction technique, Random Local Descriptor (RLD), that is used for the Permutation Coding Neural Classifier (PCNC), and compares it with Local Binary Pattern (LBP-based) feature extraction. The paper presents a model of face feature detection using local descriptors, and describes an improvement on the PCNC for the recognition of plane rotated and small displaced face images, as applied to three databases, i.e., ORL, FRAV3D and FEI. All databases are described along with the recognition results that were obtained. We also include a comparison of our classifier with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Iterative Closest Point (ICP). The ORL database was selected to compare our RLDs with LBP-based algorithms. The PCNC with the RLDs demonstrated the best recognition rate, i.e., 97.49%, in comparison with 90.49% for LBPs. For the FEI image database, we obtained the best recognition rate, i.e., 93.57%, in comparison with 66.74% for LBPs. Using the RLDs and rotating the original images for FRAV3D, we improved the recognition rate by decreasing by approximately twice the number of errors. In addition, we analyzed the influence of different RLD parameters on the quality of facial recognition.

Abstract Facial recognition is one of the main research directions in the field of artificial intelligence and image processing. It has been widely used in identity authentication, video surveillance and biological detection. Because it is non-contact, natural, convenient and reliable, facial recognition has become a popular choice for biometric systems. The accuracy of facial recognition still needs to be improved, the main goal of this paper is to improve the accuracy of face recognition. Based on the support vector machine method, the focus is on the feature extraction and feature matching of face images. In view of the particularity of face images, the pre-processing of face images is studied. In this paper, grayscale normalization and geometric normalization pre-processing methods are used. In order to reduce the interference factors of the image as much as possible, the features are high-lighted, and the non-featured parts are weakened, this paper adopts the Histogram of Oriented Gradient feature extraction method. Then we proposed a new method based on SVM, which uses a one-to-many method to construct multiple SVM classifiers, selects the optimal parameters through repeated experiments, and selects ORL face database for testing. The recognition rate can reach about 98.5%.

Gear fault detection is one of the underlying research areas in the field of condition monitoring of rotating machines. Many methods have been proposed as an approach. One of the major tasks to obtain the best fault detection is to examine what type of feature(s) should be taken out to clarify/improve the situation. In this paper, a new method is used to extract features from the vibration signal, called 1D local binary pattern (1D LBP). Vibration signals of a rotating machine with normal, break, and crack gears are processed for feature extraction. The extracted features from the original signals are utilized as inputs to a classifier based onk-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for three classes (normal, break, or crack). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated for gear fault detection, on the vibration data obtained from the Prognostic Health Monitoring (PHM’09) Data Challenge. The experiment results show that the 1D LBP method can extract the effective and relevant features for detecting fault in the gear. Moreover, we have adopted the LOSO and LOLO cross-validation approaches to investigate the effects of speed and load in fault detection.

Facial expression recognition has been researched much in recent years because of their applications in intelligent communication systems. Many methods have been developed based on extracting Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features associating different classifying techniques in order to get more and more better effects of facial expression recognition. In this work, we propose a novel method for recognizing facial expressions based on Local Binary Pattern features and Support Vector Machine with two effective improvements. First is the preprocessing step and second is the method of dividing face images into nonoverlap square regions for extracting LBP features. The method was experimented on three typical kinds of database: small (213 images), medium (2040 images) and large (5130 images). Experimental results show the effectiveness of our method for obtaining remarkably better recognition rate in comparison with other methods.

Persian handwritten digit recognition is one of the important topics of image processing which significantly considered by researchers due to its many applications. The most important challenges in Persian handwritten digit recognition is the existence of various patterns in Persian digit writing that makes the feature extraction step to be more complicated.Since the handcraft feature extraction methods are complicated processes and their performance level are not stable, most of the recent studies have concentrated on proposing a suitable method for automatic feature extraction. In this paper, an automatic method based on machine learning is proposed for high-level feature extraction from Persian digit images by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). After that, a non-linear multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for data classification instead of fully connected layer in final layer of CNN. The proposed method has been applied to HODA dataset and obtained 99.56% of recognition rate. Experimental results are comparable with previous state-of-the-art methods

Identifying communication signals under low SNR environment has become more difficult due to the increasingly complex communication environment. Most relevant literatures revolve around signal recognition under stable SNR, but not applicable under time-varying SNR environment. To solve this problem, we propose a new feature extraction method based on entropy cloud characteristics of communication modulation signals. The proposed algorithm extracts the Shannon entropy and index entropy characteristics of the signals first and then effectively combines the entropy theory and cloud model theory together. Compared with traditional feature extraction methods, instability distribution characteristics of the signals’ entropy characteristics can be further extracted from cloud model’s digital characteristics under low SNR environment by the proposed algorithm, which improves the signals’ recognition effects significantly. The results from the numerical simulations show that entropy cloud feature extraction algorithm can achieve better signal recognition effects, and even when the SNR is −11 dB, the signal recognition rate can still reach 100%.

Abstract Most of the studies in the field of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography have a wide range of applications. Extracting Steady State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) is regarded as one of the most useful tools in BCI systems. In this study, different methods such as feature extraction with different spectral methods (Shannon entropy, skewness, kurtosis, mean, variance) (bank of filters, narrow-bank IIR filters, and wavelet transform magnitude), feature selection performed by various methods (decision tree, principle component analysis (PCA), t-test, Wilcoxon, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)), and classification step applying k nearest neighbor (k-NN), perceptron, support vector machines (SVM), Bayesian, multiple layer perceptron (MLP) were compared from the whole stream of signal processing. Through combining such methods, the effective overview of the study indicated the accuracy of classical methods. In addition, the present study relied on a rather new feature selection described by decision tree and PCA, which is used for the BCI-SSVEP systems. Finally, the obtained accuracies were calculated based on the four recorded frequencies representing four directions including right, left, up, and down.

Facial feature extraction and recognition plays a prominent role in human non-verbal interaction and it is one of the crucial factors among pose, speech, facial expression, behaviour and actions which are used in conveying information about the intentions and emotions of a human being. In this article an extended local binary pattern is used for the feature extraction process and a principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensionality reduction. The projections of the sample and model images are calculated and compared by Euclidean distance method. The combination of extended local binary pattern and PCA (ELBP+PCA) improves the accuracy of the recognition rate and also diminishes the evaluation complexity. The evaluation of proposed facial expression recognition approach will focus on the performance of the recognition rate. A series of tests are performed for the validation of algorithms and to compare the accuracy of the methods on the JAFFE, Extended Cohn-Kanade images database.

Estimating the number of people in a particular scene has always been an important topic of research in computer vision and digital image processing. People counting has wide applications in scenario ranging from analyzing the customer's choice and improving the quality of service in retail stores, supermarkets and shopping malls to managing human resources and optimizing the energy usage in office buildings. While there exists algorithms for counting people in a scene, some algorithm have set their benchmark in performance with respect to efficiency, flexibility and accuracy. In this paper, an attempt has been made to perform people counting using Deep Neural Networks (DNN) on comparison with existing image processing based algorithms like Histogram of Oriented Gradients with Support Vector Machine (HoG with SVM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) based Adaboost classifier and contour based people detection. The proposed DNN based approach has higher accuracy at 90% and less false negatives.

In this paper, we present a novel method for multi-view gender classification considering both shape and texture information to represent facial images. The face area is divided into small regions from which local binary pattern (LBP) histograms are extracted and concatenated into a single vector efficiently representing a facial image. Following the idea of local binary pattern, we propose a new feature extraction approach called multi-resolution LBP, which can retain both fine and coarse local micro-patterns and spatial information of facial images. The classification tasks in this work are performed by support vector machines (SVMs). The experiments clearly show the superiority of the proposed method over both support gray faces and support Gabor faces on the CAS-PEAL face database. A higher correct classification rate of 96.56% and a higher cross validation average accuracy of 95.78% have been obtained. In addition, the simplicity of the proposed method leads to very fast feature extraction, and the regional histograms and fine-to-coarse description of facial images allow for multi-view gender classification.

Multimodal biometrics technology has recently gained interest due to its capacity to overcome certain inherent limitations of the single biometric modalities and to improve the overall recognition rate. A common biometric recognition system consists of sensing, feature extraction, and matching modules. The robustness of the system depends much more on the reliability to extract relevant information from the single biometric traits. This paper proposes a new feature extraction technique for a multimodal biometric system using face–iris traits. The iris feature extraction is carried out using an efficient multi-resolution 2D Log-Gabor filter to capture textural information in different scales and orientations. On the other hand, the facial features are computed using the powerful method of singular spectrum analysis (SSA) in conjunction with the wavelet transform. SSA aims at expanding signals or images into interpretable and physically meaningful components. In this study, SSA is applied and combined with the normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) statistical features derived from wavelet transform. The fusion process of relevant features from the two modalities are combined at a hybrid fusion level. The evaluation process is performed on a chimeric database and consists of Olivetti research laboratory (ORL) and face recognition technology (FERET) for face and Chinese academy of science institute of automation (CASIA) v3.0 iris image database (CASIA V3) interval for iris. Experimental results show the robustness.
