Face detection is essential to the full automation of face image processing application system such as face recognition, facial expression recognition, age estimation and gender identification. It is found that local image features which includes Haar-like, LBP, and MCT and the Adaboost algorithm for classifier combination are very effective for real time face detection. In this paper, we present a face detection method using local pixel direction code(PDC) feature and lookup table classifiers. The proposed PDC feature is much more effective to dectect the faces than the existing local binary structural features such as MCT and LBP. We found that our method's classification rate as well as detection rate under equal false positive rate are higher than conventional one.

In face examinations, gender classification (GC) is one of several fundamental tasks. Recent literature on GC primarily utilizes datasets containing high-resolution images of faces captured in uncontrolled real-world settings. In contrast, there have been few efforts that focus on utilizing low-resolution images of faces in GC. We propose a GC method based on a pixel classifier boosting with modified census transform features. Experiments are conducted using large datasets, such as Labeled Faces in the Wild and The Images of Groups, and standard protocols of GC communities. Experimental results show that, despite using low-resolution facial images that have a 15-pixel inter-ocular distance, the proposed method records a higher classification rate compared to current state-of-the-art GC algorithms.

We propose an on-line machine learning approach for object recognition, where new images are continuously added and the recognition decision is made without delay. Random forest (RF) classifier has been extensively used as a generative model for classification and regression applications. We extend this technique for the task of building incremental component-based detector. First we employ object descriptor model based on bag of covariance matrices, to represent an object region then run our on-line RF learner to select object descriptors and to learn an object classifier. Experiments of the object recognition are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Results demonstrate that the propose model yields in object recognition performance comparable to the benchmark standard RF, AdaBoost, and SVM classifiers.

Traffic lights are common in cities and are important cues for the path planning of intelligent vehicles. In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient algorithm for recognizing traffic lights from video sequences captured by a low cost off-the-shelf camera. Instead of using color information for recognizing traffic lights, a shape based approach is adopted. In learning and detection phase, Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature is used and a cascade classifier based on Adaboost algorithm is adopted as the main classifier for locating traffic lights. To decide the color of the traffic light, a technique based on histogram analysis in HSV color space is utilized. Experimental results on several video sequences from typical urban environment prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This article performs a detailed data scrutiny on a chronic kidney disease (CKD) dataset to select efficient instances and relevant features. Data relevancy is investigated using feature extraction, hybrid outlier detection, and handling of missing values. Data instances that do not influence the target are removed using data envelopment analysis to enable reduction of rows. Column reduction is achieved by ranking the attributes through feature selection methodologies, namely, extra-trees classifier, recursive feature elimination, chi-squared test, analysis of variance, and mutual information. These methodologies are ranked via Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) using weight optimization to identify the optimal features for model building from the CKD dataset to facilitate better prediction while diagnosing the severity of the disease. An efficient hybrid ensemble and novel similarity-based classifiers are built using the pruned dataset, and the results are thereafter compared with random forest, AdaBoost, naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbors, and support vector machines. The hybrid ensemble classifier yields a better prediction accuracy of 98.31% for the features selected by extra tree classifier (ETC), which is ranked as the best by TOPSIS.

혼합분류기를 이용한 패턴인식은 약한 분류기를 결합하여 강한 분류기를 구성하는 형태이다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 카메라를 통해 입력된 영상을 이용하여 특징을 추출하고 이것들을 이용한 약한 분류기의 결합으로 강한 분류기를 만들어 낸다. 제안하는 시스템 구성은 차영상 기법을 이용해서 이진화된 전경 영상을 얻고 모폴로지 침식연산 수행으로 얻어진 혼잡도 가중치 영상을 이용해 특징을 추출하게 된다. 추출된 특징을 조합하고 혼잡도를 판단하기 위한 모델의 훈련 및 인식을 위한 혼합분류기 알고리즘으로 부스팅 방법을 사용하였다. 혼합 분류기는 약한 분류기의 조합으로 하나의 강한 분류기를 만들어 내는 분류기로서 그림자나 반사 등이 일어나는 환경에서도 잠재적인 특징들을 잘 활용할 수 있다. 제안하는 시스템의 성능실험은 "AVSS 2007"의 도로환경의 차량 영상과 철도환경내의 승강장 영상을 사용하였다. 조명변화가 심한 야외환경과 승강장과 같은 복잡한 환경에서도 시스템의 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

스마트폰에 내장된 가속도 센서를 이용하여 사용자의 동작 상태나 행동을 인식하기 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰의 3D 가속도 정보에 신경회로망을 적용하여 사람의 행동을 인식하는 연구를 진행하였다. 시계열 데이터를 신경회로망에 그대로 적용하면 성능상의 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 여러 시구간에 대해 특징을 추출하여 각 시구간에 대해 신경회로망을 학습시키고, 이 신경회로망들의 출력들을 입력으로 하여 학습하여 구성하는 다중 시구간 신경회로망을 제안하였다. 제안하는 방법을 실제 가속도 데이터에 적용한 결과 SVM, AdaBoost, IBk 등 다른 분류기보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Breast cancer is a major health concern affecting women and men globally. Early detection and accurate classification of breast cancer are vital for effective treatment and survival of patients. This study addresses the challenge of accurately classifying breast tumors using machine learning classifiers such as MLP, AdaBoostM1, logit Boost, Bayes Net, and the J48 decision tree. The research uses a dataset available publicly on GitHub to assess the classifiers' performance and differentiate between the occurrence and non-occurrence of breast cancer. The study compares the 10-fold and 5-fold cross-validation effectiveness, showing that 10-fold cross-validation provides superior results. Also, it examines the impact of varying split percentages, with a 66% split yielding the best performance. This shows the importance of selecting appropriate validation techniques for machine learning-based breast tumor classification. The results also indicate that the J48 decision tree method is the most accurate classifier, providing valuable insights for developing predictive models for cancer diagnosis and advancing computational medical research.

The inactive student rate is becoming a major problem in most open universities worldwide. In Indonesia, roughly 36% of students were found to be inactive, in 2005. Data mining had been successfully employed to solve problems in many domains, such as for educational purposes. We are proposing a method for preventing inactive students by mining knowledge from student record systems with several state of the art ensemble methods, such as Bagging, AdaBoost, Random Subspace, Random Forest, and Rotation Forest. The most influential attributes, as well as demographic attributes (marital status and employment), were successfully obtained which were affecting student of being inactive. The complexity and accuracy of classification techniques were also compared and the experimental results show that Rotation Forest, with decision tree as the base-classifier, denotes the best performance compared to other classifiers.
