This paper explores the utility of a new classifier fusion approach to discrimination. Multiple classifier fusion, a popular approach in the field of pattern recognition, uses estimates of each individual classifier's local accuracy on training data sets. In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of fusion methods compared to individual algorithms, including the artificial neural network and k-nearest neighbor techniques. Moreover, we propose an efficient meta-classifier architecture based on an approximation of the posterior Bayes probabilities for learning the oracle.

본 논문에서는 항공기 식별을 위해 서로 보완적인 특성을 갖는 HRRP 구분기와 JEM 구분기를 융합하여 식별하는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 상황에서 단일 구분기보다 향상된 식별성능을 얻기 위하여 식별결과에 대한 구분기의 신뢰도를 가중치로 융합하는 방법을 제안한다. 신뢰도는 구분기의 식별성능으로부터 추정된 사후확률로 정의되며 식별결과에 대한 확신도 및 관측각도에 따라 변하는 특성을 가진다. 시뮬레이션 데이터를 사용한 식별실험을 통해 제안한 융합 방법이 단일 구분기를 효과적으로 융합하여 향상된 식별성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a method for combining classifier which is constructed by fuzzy and neural network classifiers and uses classifier fusion algorithms and selection algorithms. The input space of combing classifier is divided by the extended hyperbox region proposed in this paper to guarantee non-overlapped data property. To fuse the fuzzy classifier and the neural network classifier, we propose the fusion parameter for the overlapped data. In addition, the adaptive learning algorithm also proposed to maximize classifier performance. Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

Facial expression recognition is an important part in emotional interaction between human and machine. This paper proposes a facial expression recognition approach based on multi-classifier fusion with stacking algorithm. The kappa-error diagram is employed in base-level classifiers selection, which gains insights about which individual classifier has the better recognition performance and how diverse among them to help improve the recognition accuracy rate by fusing the complementary functions. In order to avoid the influence of the chance factor caused by guessing in algorithm evaluation and get more reliable awareness of algorithm performance, kappa and informedness besides accuracy are utilized as measure criteria in the comparison experiments. To verify the effectiveness of our approach, two public databases are used in the experiments. The experiment results show that compared with individual classifier and two other typical ensemble methods, our proposed stacked ensemble system does recognize facial expression more accurately with less standard deviation. It overcomes the individual classifier's bias and achieves more reliable recognition results.

This paper aims to present a supervised classification algorithm based on data fusion for the segmentation of the textured images. The feature extraction method we used is based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In the segmentation stage, the estimated feature vector of each pixel is sent to the support vector machine (SVM) classifier for initial labeling. To obtain a more accurate segmentation result, two strategies based on information fusion were used. We first integrated decision-level fusion strategies by combining decisions made by the SVM classifier within a sliding window. In the second strategy, the fuzzy set theory and rules based on probability theory were used to combine the scores obtained by SVM over a sliding window. Finally, the performance of the proposed segmentation algorithm was demonstrated on a variety of synthetic and real images and showed that the proposed data fusion method improved the classification accuracy compared to applying a SVM classifier. The results revealed that the overall accuracies of SVM classification of textured images is 88%, while our fusion methodology obtained an accuracy of up to 96%, depending on the size of the data base.

A random forests classifier is applied to multi-sensor data fusion for supervised land-cover classification in order to account for the importance of variable. The random forests approach is a non-parametric ensemble classifier based on CART-like trees. The distinguished feature is that the importance of variable can be estimated by randomly permuting the variable of interest in all the out-of-bag samples for each classifier. Two different multi-sensor data sets for supervised classification were used to illustrate the applicability of random forests: one with optical and polarimetric SAR data and the other with multi-temporal Radarsat-l and ENVISAT ASAR data sets. From the experimental results, the random forests approach could extract important variables or bands for land-cover discrimination and showed reasonably good performance in terms of classification accuracy.

To account for the importance of variable in multi-sensor data fusion, random forests are applied to supervised land-cover classification. The random forests approach is a non-parametric ensemble classifier based on CART-like trees. Its distinguished feature is that the importance of variable can be estimated by randomly permuting the variable of interest in all the out-of-bag samples for each classifier. Supervised classification with a multi-sensor remote sensing data set including optical and polarimetric SAR data was carried out to illustrate the applicability of random forests. From the experimental result, the random forests approach could extract important variables or bands for land-cover discrimination and showed good performance, as compared with other non-parametric data fusion algorithms.

얼굴인식 기술은 지능형 보안, 웹에서 콘텐츠 검색, 지능로봇의 시각부분, 머신인터페이스 등, 활용이 광범위 하다. 그러나 일반적으로 대상자의 표정과 포즈 변화, 주변의 조명 환경과 같은 문제가 있으며 이와 더불어 원거리에서 획득한 영상의 경우 저해상도를 비롯하여 블러와 잡음에 의한 영상의 열화 등의 여러 가지 어려움이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 포톤 카운팅(Photon-counting) 선형판별법(Linear Discriminant Analysis)을 이용한 다중 분류기(Classifier)에 의한 판정을 융합하여 얼굴 영상 인식을 수행한다. Fisher 선형판별법은 집단 간 분산을 최대로 하고 집단 내 분산을 최소로 하는 공간으로 선형 투영하는 방법으로, 학습영상의 수가 적을 경우 특이행렬 문제가 발생하지만 포톤카운팅 선형 판별법은 이러한 문제가 없으므로 차원축소를 위한 전 처리 과정이 필요 없다. 본 논문의 다중 분류기는 포톤 카운팅 선형판별법의 유클리드 거리(Euclidean Distance) 또는 정규화된 상관(Normalized Correlation)을 적용하는 판정규칙에 따라 구성된다. 다중분류기의 판정의 융합은 각 분류기 cost의 정규화(Normalization), 유효화(Validation), 그리고 융합규칙(Fusion Rule)으로 구성된다. 각 분류기에서 도출된 cost는 같은 범위로 정규화된 후 유효화 과정에서 선별되고 Minimum, 또는 Average, 또는 Majority-voting의 융합규칙에 의하여 융합된다. 실험에서는 원거리에서 획득한 효과를 구현하기 위하여 고해상도 데이터베이스 영상을 인위적으로 Unfocusing과 Motion 블러를 이용하여 열화하여 테스트하였다. 실험 결과는 다중분류기 융합결과의 인식률은 단일분류기보다 높다는 것을 보여준다.

As the number of spectral bands of high spectral resolution data increases, the capability to detect more detailed classes should also increase, and the classification accuracy should increase as well. Often, it is impossible to access enough training pixels for supervise classification. For this reason, the performance of traditional classification methods isn't useful. In this paper, we propose a new model for classification that operates based on decision fusion. In this classifier, learning is performed at two steps. In first step, only training samples are used and in second step, this classifier utilizes semilabeled samples in addition to original training samples. At the beginning of this method, spectral bands are categorized in several small groups. Information of each group is used as a new source and classified. Each of this primary classifier has special characteristics and discriminates the spectral space particularly. With using of the benefits of all primary classifiers, it is made sure that the results of the fused local decisions are accurate enough. In decision fusion center, some rules are used to determine the final class of pixels. This method is applied to real remote sensing data. Results show classification performance is improved, and this method may solve the limitation of training samples in the high dimensional data and the Hughes phenomenon may be mitigated.
