The discrimination of micro-seismic events (events) and blasts is significant for monitoring and analyzing micro-seismicity in underground mines. To eliminate the negative effects of conventional discrimination methods, a waveform image discriminant method was proposed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to extract the raw features of events and blasts through their waveform images that established by the recorded field data, and transform them into the new uncorrelated features. The amount of initial information retained in the derived features could be determined quantitatively by the contribution rate. The binary classification models were established by utilizing the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm and the PCA derived waveform image features. Results of four groups of cross validation show that the optimal values for the accuracy of events and blasts, total accuracy, and quality evaluation parameter MCC are 97.1%, 93.8%, 93.60%, and 0.8723, respectively. Moreover, the computation efficiency per accuracy (CEA) was introduced to quantitatively evaluate the effects of contribution rate on classification accuracy and computation efficiency. The optimal contribution rate was determined to be 0.90. The waveform image discriminant method can automatically classify events and blasts in underground mines, ensuring the efficient establishment of high-quality micro-seismic databases and providing adequate data for the subsequent seismicity analysis.

We present a multi-modal genre recognition framework that considers the modalities audio, text, and image by features extracted from audio signals, album cover images, and lyrics of music tracks. In contrast to pure learning of features by a neural network as done in the related work, handcrafted features designed for a respective modality are also integrated, allowing for higher interpretability of created models and further theoretical analysis of the impact of individual features on genre prediction. Genre recognition is performed by binary classification of a music track with respect to each genre based on combinations of elementary features. For feature combination a two-level technique is used, which combines aggregation into fixed-length feature vectors with confidence-based fusion of classification results. Extensive experiments have been conducted for three classifier models (Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest) and numerous feature combinations. The results are presented visually, with data reduction for improved perceptibility achieved by multi-objective analysis and restriction to non-dominated data. Feature- and classifier-related hypotheses are formulated based on the data, and their statistical significance is formally analyzed. The statistical analysis shows that the combination of two modalities almost always leads to a significant increase of performance and the combination of three modalities in several cases.

An automated Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system for glaucoma diagnosis using fundus images is developed. The various glaucoma image classification schemes using the supervised and unsupervised learning approaches are reviewed. The research paper involves three stages of glaucoma disease diagnosis. First, the pre-processing stage the texture features of the fundus image is recorded with a two-dimensional Gabor filter at various sizes and orientations. The image features are generated using higher order statistical characteristics, and then Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to select and reduce the dimension of the image features. For the performance study, the Gabor filter based features are extracted from the RIM-ONE and HRF database images, and then Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for classification. Final stage utilizes the SVM classifier with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel learning technique for the efficient classification of glaucoma disease with accuracy 90%.

This paper developed a principal component analysis (PCA)-integrated algorithm for feature identification in manufacturing; this algorithm is based on an adaptive PCA-based scheme for identifying image features in vision-based inspection. PCA is a commonly used statistical method for pattern recognition tasks, but an effective PCA-based approach for identifying suitable image features in manufacturing has yet to be developed. Unsuitable image features tend to yield poor results when used in conventional visual inspections. Furthermore, research has revealed that the use of unsuitable or redundant features might influence the performance of object detection. To address these problems, the adaptive PCA-based algorithm developed in this study entails the identification of suitable image features using a support vector machine (SVM) model for inspecting of various object images; this approach can be used for solving the inherent problem of detection that occurs when the extraction contains challenging image features in manufacturing processes. The results of experiments indicated that the proposed algorithm can successfully be used to adaptively select appropriate image features. The algorithm combines image feature extraction and PCA/SVM classification to detect patterns in manufacturing. The algorithm was determined to achieve high-performance detection and to outperform the existing methods.

Features extraction is an essential process in identifying person biometrics because the effectiveness of the system depends on it. Multiresolution Analysis success can be used in the system of a person’s identification and pattern recognition. In this paper, we present a feature extraction method for two-dimensional face and iris authentication.  Our approach is a combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and curvelet transform as an improved fusion approach for feature extraction. The proposed fusion approach involves image denoising using 2D-Curvelet transform to achieve compact representations of curves singularities. This is followed by the application of PCA as a fusion rule to improve upon the spatial resolution. The limitations of the only PCA algorithm are a poor recognition speed and complex mathematical calculating load, to reduce these limitations, we are applying the curvelet transform. <br /> To assess the performance of the presented method, we have employed three classification techniques: Neural networks (NN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector machines (SVM).<br />The results reveal that the extraction of image features is more efficient using Curvelet/PCA.

Multi-sensor image fusion is used to combine the complementary information of source images from the multiple sensors. Recently, conventional image fusion schemes based on signal processing techniques have been studied extensively, and machine learning-based techniques have been introduced into image fusion because of the prominent advantages. In this work, a new multi-sensor image fusion method based on the support vector machine and principal component analysis is proposed. First, the key features of the source images are extracted by combining the sliding window technique and five effective evaluation indicators. Second, a trained support vector machine model is used to extract the focus region and the non-focus region of the source images according to the extracted image features, the fusion decision is therefore obtained for each source image. Then, the consistency verification operation is used to absorb a single singular point in the decisions of the trained classifier. Finally, a novel method based on principal component analysis and the multi-scale sliding window is proposed to handle the disputed areas in the fusion decision pair. Experiments are performed to verify the performance of the new combined method.

The evolution of personalized medicine has changed the therapeutic strategy from classical chemotherapy and radiotherapy to a genetic modification targeted therapy, and although biopsy is the traditional method to genetically characterize lung cancer tumor, it is an invasive and painful procedure for the patient. Nodule image features extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans have been used to create machine learning models that predict gene mutation status in a noninvasive, fast, and easy-to-use manner. However, recent studies have shown that radiomic features extracted from an extended region of interest (ROI) beyond the tumor, might be more relevant to predict the mutation status in lung cancer, and consequently may be used to significantly decrease the mortality rate of patients battling this condition. In this work, we investigated the relation between image phenotypes and the mutation status of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), the most frequently mutated gene in lung cancer with several approved targeted-therapies, using radiomic features extracted from the lung containing the nodule. A variety of linear, nonlinear, and ensemble predictive classification models, along with several feature selection methods, were used to classify the binary outcome of wild-type or mutant EGFR mutation status. The results show that a comprehensive approach using a ROI that included the lung with nodule can capture relevant information and successfully predict the EGFR mutation status with increased performance compared to local nodule analyses. Linear Support Vector Machine, Elastic Net, and Logistic Regression, combined with the Principal Component Analysis feature selection method implemented with 70% of variance in the feature set, were the best-performing classifiers, reaching Area Under the Curve (AUC) values ranging from 0.725 to 0.737. This approach that exploits a holistic analysis indicates that information from more extensive regions of the lung containing the nodule allows a more complete lung cancer characterization and should be considered in future radiogenomic studies.

Abstract With the advent of the 5G era,the development of massive data learning algorithms and in-depth research on neural networks, deep learning methods are widely used in image recognition tasks. However, there is currently a lack of methods for identifying and classifying efficiently Internet of Things (IoT) images. This paper develops an IoT image recognition system based on deep learning, i.e., uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) to construct image recognition algorithms, and uses principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to extract image features, respectively. The effectiveness of the two PCA and LDA image recognition methods is verified through experiments. And when the image feature dimension is 25, the best image recognition effect can be obtained. The main classifier used for image recognition in the IoT is the support vector machine (SVM), and the SVM and CNN are trained by using the database of this paper. At the same time, the effectiveness of the two for image recognition is checked, and then the trained classifier is used for image recognition. It is found that a CNN and SVM-based secondary classification IoT image recognition method improves the accuracy of image recognition. The secondary classification method combines the characteristics of the SVM and CNN image recognition methods, and the accuracy of the image recognition method is verified to provide an effective improvement through experimental verification.

Identifying wood accurately and rapidly is one of the best ways to prevent wood product fakes and adulterants in forestry products. Wood identification traditionally relies heavily on special experts that spend extensive time in the laboratory. A new method is proposed that uses near-infrared (NIR) spectra at a wavelength of 780–2300 nm incorporated with the gray-level co-occurrence (GLCM) texture feature to accurately and rapidly identify timbers. The NIR spectral features were determined by principal component analysis (PCA), and the digital image features extracted with the GLCM were used to create a support vector machine (SVM) model to identify the timbers. The results from fusion features of raw spectra and four GLCM features of 25 timbers showed that identification accuracy by the model was 99.43%. A sample anisotropy and heterogeneity comparative analysis revealed that the wood identification information from the transverse surface had more characteristics than that from the tangential and radial surfaces. Furthermore, short-wavelength pre-processed NIR bands of 780–1100 nm and 1100–2300 nm realized high identification accuracy of 99.43% and 100%, respectively. The four GLCM features were effective for improving identification accuracy by improving the data spatial clustering features.

The risk of personal data exposure through unauthorized access has never been as imminent as today. To counter this, biometric authentication has been proposed: the use of distinctive physiological and behavioral characteristics as a form of identification and access control. One of the recent developments is electroencephalography (EEG)-based authentication. It builds on the subject-specific nature of brain responses which are difficult to recreate artificially. We propose an authentication system based on EEG signals recorded in response to a simple motor paradigm. Authentication is achieved with a novel two-stage decoder. In the first stage, EEG signal features are extracted using an inception- and a VGG-like deep learning neural network (NN) both of which we compare with principal component analysis (PCA). In the second stage, a support vector machine (SVM) is used for binary classification to authenticate the subject based on the extracted features. All decoders are trained on EEG motor-movement data recorded from 105 subjects. We achieved with the VGG-like NN-SVM decoder a false-acceptance rate (FAR) of 2.55% with an overall accuracy of 88.29%, a FAR of 3.33% with an accuracy of 87.47%, and a FAR of 2.89% with an accuracy of 90.68% for 8, 16, and 64 channels, respectively. With the Inception-like NN-SVM decoder we achieved a false-acceptance rate (FAR) of 4.08% with an overall accuracy of 87.29%, a FAR of 3.53% with an accuracy of 85.31%, and a FAR of 1.27% with an accuracy of 93.40% for 8, 16, and 64 channels, respectively. The PCA-SVM decoder achieved accuracies of 92.09%, 92.36%, and 95.64% with FARs of 2.19%, 2.17%, and 1.26% for 8, 16, and 64 channels, respectively.
