This paper suggests a method to improve the performance of the pathological/normal voice classification. The effectiveness of the mel frequency-based filter bank energies using the fisher discriminant ratio (FDR) is analyzed. And mel frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCCs) and the feature vectors through the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) transformation of the filter bank energies (FBE) are implemented. This paper shows that the FBE LDA-based GMM is more distinct method for the pathological/normal voice classification than the MFCC-based GMM.

This paper proposes a new spatial regularization of Fisher linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to reduce the overfitting due to small size sample (SSS) problem in face recognition. Many regularized LDAs have been proposed to alleviate the overfitting by regularizing an estimate of the within-class scatter matrix. Spatial regularization methods have been suggested that make the discriminant vectors spatially smooth, leading to mitigation of the overfitting. As a generalized version of the spatially regularized LDA, the proposed regularized LDA utilizes the non-uniformity of spatial correlation structures in face images in adding a spatial smoothness constraint into an LDA framework. The region-dependent spatial regularization is advantageous for capturing the non-flat spatial correlation structure within face image as well as obtaining a spatially smooth projection of LDA. Experimental results on public face databases such as ORL and CMU PIE show that the proposed regularized LDA performs well especially when the number of training images per individual is quite small, compared with other regularized LDAs.

Face recognition is considered a complex biometrics in the field of image processing mainly due to the constraints imposed by variation in the appearance of facial images. These variations in appearance are affected by differences in expressions and/or occlusions (sunglasses, scarf etc.). This paper discusses incremental Kernel Fisher Discriminate Analysis on sub-classes for dealing with partial occlusions and variant expressions. This framework focuses on the division of classes into fixed size sub-classes for effective feature extraction. For this purpose, it modifies the traditional Linear Discriminant Analysis into incremental approach in the kernel space. Experiments are performed on AR, ORL, Yale B and MIT-CBCL face databases. The results show a significant improvement in face recognition.

In general, it may be advantageous to measure the pressure pulsation near a valve to detect a valve defect in a linear compressor. However, the acceleration signals are more advantageous for rapid classification in a mass-production line. This paper deals with the performance improvement of fault classification using only the compressor-shell acceleration signal based on the relation between the refrigerant pressure pulsation and the shell acceleration of the compressor. A transfer function was estimated experimentally to take into account the signal noise ratio between the pressure pulsation of the refrigerant in the suction pipe and the shell acceleration. The shell acceleration signal of the compressor was modified using this transfer function to improve the defect classification performance. The defect classification of the modified signal was evaluated in the acceleration signal in the frequency domain using Fisher's discriminant ratio (FDR). The defect classification method was validated by experimental data. By using the method presented, the classification of valve defects can be performed rapidly and efficiently during mass production.

This paper proposes a two-phase mathematical programming approach by considering classification gap to solve the proposed credit scoring problem so as to complement any theoretical shortcomings. Specifically, by using the linear programming (LP) approach, phase 1 is to make the associated decisions such as issuing grant of credit or denial of credit to applicants. or to seek any additional information before making the final decision. Phase 2 is to find a cut-off value, which minimizes any misclassification penalty (cost) to be incurred due to granting credit to 'bad' loan applicant or denying credit to 'good' loan applicant by using the mixed-integer programming (MIP) approach. This approach is expected to and appropriate classification scores and a cut-off value with respect to deviation and misclassification cost, respectively. Statistical discriminant analysis methods have been commonly considered to deal with classification problems for credit scoring. In recent years, much theoretical research has focused on the application of mathematical programming techniques to the discriminant problems. It has been reported that mathematical programming techniques could outperform statistical discriminant techniques in some applications, while mathematical programming techniques may suffer from some theoretical shortcomings. The performance of the proposed two-phase approach is evaluated in this paper with line data and loan applicants data, by comparing with three other approaches including Fisher's linear discriminant function, logistic regression and some other existing mathematical programming approaches, which are considered as the performance benchmarks. The evaluation results show that the proposed two-phase mathematical programming approach outperforms the aforementioned statistical approaches. In some cases, two-phase mathematical programming approach marginally outperforms both the statistical approaches and the other existing mathematical programming approaches.

This work is an extension of my work presented a robust and economically efficient method for the Discrimination of four Mung-Beans [1] varieties based on quantitative parameters. Due to the advancement of technology, users try to find the solutions to their daily life problems using smartphones but still for computing power and memory. Hence, there is a need to find the best classifier to classify the Mung-Beans using already suggested features in previous work with minimum memory requirements and computational power. To achieve this study's goal, we take the experiments on various supervised classifiers with simple architecture and calculations and give the robust performance on the most relevant 10 suggested features selected by Fisher Co-efficient, Probability of Error, Mutual Information, and wavelet features. After the analysis, we replace the Artificial Neural Network and Deep learning with a classifier that gives approximately the same classification results as the above classifier but is efficient in terms of resources and time complexity. This classifier is easily implemented in the smartphone environment.

Real-time process monitoring and diagnosis of industrial processes is one of important operational tasks for quality and safety reasons. The objective of fault diagnosis or identification is to find process variables responsible for causing a specific fault in the process. This helps process operators to investigate root causes more effectively. This work assesses the applicability of combining a nonlinear statistical technique of kernel Fisher discriminant analysis with a preprocessing method as a tool of on-line fault identification. To compare its performance to existing linear principal component analysis (PCA) identification scheme, a case study on a benchmark process was performed to show that the fault identification scheme produced more reliable diagnosis results than linear method.

목표물 인식(Target Recognition)에 사용되는 대표적인 특징 정보에는 밝기 (Intensity) 정보와 윤곽선(Boundary) 등의 모양(Shape) 정보가 있다. 그러나, 일반적으로 영상에서 바로 추출한 밝기 정보나 윤곽선 정보는 환경 변화에 의한 많은 오차 요인들을 포함하고 있기 때문에, 이들 특징 정보를 개별적으로 인식에 사용하는 것은 높은 인식 성능을 기대하기 어렵다. 따라서, 밝기 정보와 모양 정보를 인식에 함께 사용하는 기법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 밝기 정보와 윤곽선 기반의 모양 정보를 합성하여 동시에 인식에 사용하는 3단계 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서 밝기 정보 추출에 는 PCA (Principal Component Analysis)기법을 사용하고 , 윤곽선 정보 추출에는 PDM(Point Distribution Model) 에 기반한 영역 분할(Segmentation) 기법과 Algebraic Curve Fitting기법을 사용하였다 추출된 밝기 정보와 윤곽선 정보는 FLD(Fisher Linear Discriminant) 기법을 통해 결합(integration)되어 인식에 사용 된다. 제안한 기법을 적외선 자동차 영상을 인식하는 실험에 적용한 결과, 기존기법에 비해 인식 성능이 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose novel feature extraction algorithm for classification of seabed sediment. In previous researches, acoustic reflection coefficient has been used to classify seabed sediments, which is constant in terms of frequency. However, attenuation of seabed sediment is a function of frequency and is highly influenced by sediment types in general. Hence, we developed a feature vector by using attenuation variation with respect to frequency. The attenuation variation is obtained by using reflected signal from the second sediment layer, which is generated by broadband chirp. The proposed feature vector has advantage in number of dimensions to classify the seabed sediment over the classical scalar feature (reflection coefficient). To compare the proposed feature with the classical scalar feature, dimension of proposed feature vector is reduced by using linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Synthesised acoustic amplitudes reflected by seabed sediments are generated by using Biot model and the performance of proposed feature is evaluated by using Fisher scoring and classification accuracy computed by maximum likelihood decision (MLD). As a result, the proposed feature shows higher discrimination performance and more robustness against measurement errors than that of classical feature.
