This paper proposes a two dimensional quaternion valued singular spectrum analysis based method for enhancing the hyperspectral image. Here, the enhancement is for performing the object recognition, but neither for improving the visual quality nor suppressing the artifacts. In particular, the two dimensional quaternion valued singular spectrum analysis components are selected in such a way that the ratio of the interclass separation to the intraclass separation of the pixel vectors is maximized. Next, the support vector machine is employed for performing the object recognition. Compared to the conventional two dimensional real valued singular spectrum analysis based method where only the pixels in a color plane is exploited, the two dimensional quaternion valued singular spectrum analysis based method fuses four color planes together for performing the enhancement. Hence, both the spatial information among the pixels in the same color plane and the spectral information among various color planes are exploited. The computer numerical simulation results show that the overall classification accuracy based on our proposed method is higher than the two dimensional real valued singular spectrum analysis based method, the three dimensional singular spectrum analysis based method, the multivariate two dimensional singular spectrum analysis based method, the median filtering based method, the principal component analysis based method, the Tucker decomposition based method and the hybrid spectral convolutional neural network (hybrid SN) based method.

Monthly rainfall forecasts can be translated into monthly runoff predictions that could support water resources planning and management activities. Therefore, development of monthly rainfall forecasting models in reservoir watersheds is essential for generating future rainfall amounts as an input to a water-resources-system simulation model to predict water shortage conditions. This research aims to examine the reliability of linking a data preprocessing method (singular spectrum analysis, SSA) with machine learning, least-squares support vector regression (LS-SVR), and random forest (RF), for monthly rainfall forecasting in two reservoir watersheds (Deji and Shihmen reservoir watersheds) located in Taiwan. Merging SSA with LS-SVR and RF, the hybrid models (SSA-LSSVR and SSA-RF) were developed and compared with the standard models (LS-SVR and RF). The proposed models were calibrated and validated using the watersheds’ observed areal monthly rainfalls separated into 70 percent of data for calibration and 30 percent of data for validation. Model performances were evaluated using two accuracy measures, root mean square error (RMSE) and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE). Results show that the hybrid models could efficiently forecast monthly rainfalls. Nonetheless, the performances of the hybrid models vary in both watersheds which suggests that prior knowledge about the watershed’s hydrological behavior would be helpful to implement the appropriate model. Overall, the hybrid models significantly surpass the standard models for the two studied watersheds, which indicates that the proposed models are a prudent modeling approach that could be employed in the current research regions for monthly rainfall forecasting.

In the processing of remotely sensed data, classification may be preceded by feature extraction, which helps in making the most informative parts of the data emerge. Effective feature extraction may boost the efficiency and accuracy of the following classification, and hence various methods have been proposed to perform it. Recently, Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and its 2-D variation (2D-SSA) have emerged as popular, cutting-edge technologies for effective feature extraction in Hyperspectral Images (HSI). Using 2D-SSA, each band image of an HSI is initially decomposed into various components, and then the image is reconstructed using the most significant eigen-tuples relative to their eigen-values, which represent strong spatial features for the classification task. However, instead of performing reconstruction on the whole image, it may be more effective to apply reconstruction to object-specific spatial regions, which is the proposed objective of this research. As an HSI may cover a large area, multiple objects are generally present within a single scene. Hence, spatial information can be highlighted accurately by specializing the reconstruction based on the local context. The local context may be defined by the so-called superpixels, i.e., finite sets of pixels that constitute a homogeneous set. Each superpixel may undergo tailored reconstruction, with a process expected to perform better than non-spatially-adaptive approaches. In this paper, a Superpixel-based SSA (SP-SSA) method is proposed where the image is first segmented into multiple regions using a superpixel segmentation approach. Next, each segment is individually reconstructed using 2D-SSA. In doing so, the spatial contextual information is preserved, leading to better classifier performance. The performance of the reconstructed features is evaluated using an SVM classifier. Experiments on four popular benchmark datasets reveal that, in terms of the classification accuracy, the proposed approach overperforms the standard SSA technique and various common spatio-spectral classification methods.

A hybrid model integrating artificial neural networks and support vector regression was developed for daily rainfall prediction. In the modeling process, singular spectrum analysis was first adopted to decompose the raw rainfall data. Fuzzy C-means clustering was then used to split the training set into three crisp subsets which may be associated with low-, medium- and high-intensity rainfall. Two local artificial neural network models were involved in training and predicting low- and medium-intensity subsets whereas a local support vector regression model was applied to the high-intensity subset. A conventional artificial neural network model was selected as the benchmark. The artificial neural network with the singular spectrum analysis was developed for the purpose of examining the singular spectrum analysis technique. The models were applied to two daily rainfall series from China at 1-day-, 2-day- and 3-day-ahead forecasting horizons. Results showed that the hybrid support vector regression model performed the best. The singular spectrum analysis model also exhibited considerable accuracy in rainfall forecasting. Also, two methods to filter reconstructed components of singular spectrum analysis, supervised and unsupervised approaches, were compared. The unsupervised method appeared more effective where nonlinear dependence between model inputs and output can be considered.
