Recognizing avatar faces is a very important issue for the security of virtual worlds. In this paper, a novel face recognition technique based on the wavelet transform and the multiscale representation of the adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP) with directional statistical features is proposed to increase the accuracy rate of recognizing avatars in different virtual worlds. The proposed technique consists of three stages: preprocessing, feature extraction, and recognition. In the preprocessing and feature extraction stages, wavelet decomposition is used to enhance the common features of the same subject of images and the multiscale ALBP (MALBP) is used to extract representative features from each facial image. Then, in the recognition stage the wavelet MALBP (WMALBP) histogram dissimilarity with statistical features of each test image and each class model is used within the nearest neighbor classifier to improve the classification accuracy of the WMALBP. Experiments conducted on two virtual world avatar face image datasets show that our technique performs better than LBP, PCA, multiscale local binary pattern, ALBP, and ALBP with directional statistical features (ALBPF) in terms of the accuracy and the time required to classify each facial image to its subject.

The classification of Javanese character images is done with the aim of recognizing each character. The selected classification algorithm is K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) at K = 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. To improve KNN performance in Javanese character written by the author, and to prove that feature extraction is needed in the process image classification of Javanese character. In this study selected Local Binary Patter (LBP) as a feature extraction because there are research objects with a certain level of slope. The LBP parameters are used between [16 16], [32 32], [64 64], [128 128], and [256 256]. Experiments were performed on 80 training drawings and 40 test images. KNN values after combination with LBP characteristic extraction were 82.5% at K = 3 and LBP parameters [64 64].

This paper presents an improved Local Binary Pattern (LBP) operator for feature extraction f which considers both sign and magnitude information of the local difference of neighborhood and center pixels. The image is first divided into small blocks from which improved LBP histograms are extracted and concatenated into a single feature histogram. Then, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method is used to reduce feature dimensions. Finally, the recognition is performed by a nearest-neighbor classifier with Chi square statistic as the dissimilarity measurement. Experiments on AR face image databases by the leave-one-out (LOO) procedure illustrate that this method has higher recognition rate and more robust than the original LBP.

Balinese character recognition is a technique to recognize feature or pattern of Balinese character. Feature of Balinese character is generated through feature extraction process. This research using handwritten Balinese character. Feature extraction is a process to obtain the feature of character. In this research, feature extraction process generated semantic and direction feature of handwritten Balinese character. Recognition is using K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm to recognize 81 handwritten Balinese character. The feature of Balinese character images tester are compared with reference features. Result of the recognition system with K=3 and reference=10 is achieved a success rate of 97,53%.

Acoustic event detection and analysis has been widely developed in the last few years for its valuable application in monitoring elderly or dependant people, for surveillance issues, for multimedia retrieval, or even for biodiversity metrics in natural environments. For this purpose, sound source identification is a key issue to give a smart technological answer to all the aforementioned applications. Diverse types of sounds and variate environments, together with a number of challenges in terms of application, widen the choice of artificial intelligence algorithm proposal. This paper presents a comparative study on combining several feature extraction algorithms (Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC), Gammatone Cepstrum Coefficients (GTCC), and Narrow Band (NB)) with a group of machine learning algorithms (k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Neural Networks (NN), and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)), tested over five different acoustic environments. This work has the goal of detailing a best practice method and evaluate the reliability of this general-purpose algorithm for all the classes. Preliminary results show that most of the combinations of feature extraction and machine learning present acceptable results in most of the described corpora. Nevertheless, there is a combination that outperforms the others: the use of GTCC together with kNN, and its results are further analyzed for all the corpora.
