Terrain classification is still a challenging issue in image processing, especially with high resolution satellite images. The well-known obstacles include low accuracy in the detection of targets, especially for the case of man-made structures, such as buildings and roads. In this paper, we present an efficient approach to classify and detect building footprints, foliage, grass and road from high resolution grayscale satellite images. Our contribution is to build a strong classifier using AdaBoost based on a combination of co-occurrence and Haar-like features. We expect that the inclusion of Harr-like feature improves the classification performance of the man-made structures, since Haar-like feature is extracted from corner features and rectangle features. Also, the AdaBoost algorithm selects only critical features and generates an extremely efficient classifier. Experimental result indicates that the classification accuracy of AdaBoost classifier is much higher than that of the conventional classifier using back propagation algorithm. Also, the inclusion of Harr-like feature significantly improves the classification accuracy. The accuracy of the proposed method is 98.4% for the target detection and 92.8% for the classification on high resolution satellite images.

Identifying disease genes from human genome is a critical task in biomedical research. Important biological features to distinguish the disease genes from the non-disease genes have been mainly selected based on traditional feature selection approaches. However, the traditional feature selection approaches unnecessarily consider many unimportant biological features. As a result, although some of the existing classification techniques have been applied to disease gene identification, the prediction performance was not satisfactory. A small set of the most important biological features can enhance the accuracy of disease gene identification, as well as provide potentially useful knowledge for biologists or clinicians, who can further investigate the selected biological features as well as the potential disease genes. In this paper, we propose a new stepwise random forests (SRF) approach for biological feature selection and disease gene identification. The SRF approach consists of two stages. In the first stage, only important biological features are iteratively selected in a forward selection manner based on one-dimensional random forest regression, where the updated residual vector is considered as the current response vector. We can then determine a small set of important biological features. In the second stage, random forests classification with regard to the selected biological features is applied to identify disease genes. Our extensive experiments show that the proposed SRF approach outperforms the existing feature selection and classification techniques in terms of biological feature selection and disease gene identification.

최근 인터넷, IPTV/SMART TV, 소셜 네트워크 (social network)와 같은 정보 유통 채널의 다양화로 유해 비디오 분류 및 차단 기술 연구에 대한 요구가 높아가고 있으나, 현재까지는 비디오에 대한 유해성을 판단하는 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 기존 유해 이미지 분류 연구에서는 이미지에서의 피부 영역의 비율이나 Bag of Visual Words (BoVW)와 같은 공간적 특징들 (spatial features)을 이용하고 있다. 그러나, 비디오에서는 공간적 특징 이외에도 모션 반복성 특징이나 시간적 상관성 (temporal correlation)과 같은 시간적 특징들 (temporal features)을 추가적으로 이용하여 유해성을 판단할 수 있다. 기존의 유해 비디오 분류 연구에서는 공간적 특징과 시간적 특징들에서 하나의 특징만을 사용하거나 두 개의 특징들을 단순히 결정 단계에서 데이터 융합하여 사용하고 있다. 일반적으로 결정 단계 데이터 융합 방법은 특징 단계 데이터 융합 방법보다 높은 성능을 가지지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 유해 비디오 분류 연구에서 사용되고 있는 공간적 특징과 시간적 특징들을 특징 단계 융합 방법을 이용하여 융합하여 유해 비디오를 분류하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험에서는 사용되는 특징이 늘어남에 따른 분류 성능 변화와 데이터 융합 방법의 변화에 따른 분류 성능 변화를 보였다. 공간적 특징만을 이용하였을 때에는 92.25%의 유해 비디오 분류 성능을 보이는데 반해, 모션 반복성 특징을 이용하고 특징 단계 데이터 융합 방법을 이용하게 되면 96%의 향상된 분류 성능을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 근적외선 카메라를 이용한 눈의 다양한 특징 분석을 통해 감성을 분류하는 방법에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 제안하는 방법은 기존의 유사한 연구와 비교했을 때, 감성 분류를 위해 더 많은 눈의 특징을 사용하였고, 각 특징이 모두 유의미한 정보를 포함하고 있음을 검증하였다. 긍정-부정, 각성-이완의 상반된 감성 유발을 위해 청각 자극을 사용함으로써, 눈의 특징에 끼치는 영향을 최소화하였다. 감성 분류를 위한 특징으로써, 동공 크기, 동공 크기 변화율, 깜박임 빈도, 눈을 감은 지속시간을 사용하였으며, 이들은 근적외선 카메라 영상으로부터 자체 개발한 자동화된 처리 방법을 통해 추출된다. 분석 결과, 각성-이완 감성 유발 자극에 대해서는 동공 크기 변화율과 깜박임 빈도 특징이 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 긍정-부정 감성 유발 자극에 대해에서는 눈을 감은 지속시간 특징이 유의한 차이를 보였다. 특히 동공 크기 특징은 각성-이완, 긍정-부정의 상반된 감성 자극 유발 상황에서 모두 유의한 차이가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a classification system of TV program scenes based on audio information. The system classifies the video scene into six categories of commercials, basketball games, football games, news reports, weather forecasts and music videos. Two type of audio feature set are extracted from each audio frame-timbral features and coefficient domain features which result in 58-dimensional feature vector. In order to reduce the computational complexity of the system, 58-dimensional feature set is further optimized to yield l0-dimensional features through Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) method. This down-sized feature set is finally used to train and classify the given TV program scenes using κ -NN, Gaussian pattern matching algorithm. The classification result of 91.6% reported here shows the promising performance of the video scene classification based on the audio information. Finally, the system stability problem corresponding to different query length is investigated.

In this paper, we develop a galaxy image classification method based on hand-crafted features and machine learning techniques. Additionally, we provide an empirical analysis to reveal which combination of the techniques is effective for galaxy image classification. To achieve this, we developed a framework which consists of four modules such as preprocessing, feature extraction, feature post-processing, and classification. Finally, we found that the best technique for galaxy image classification is a method to use a median filter, ORB vector features and a voting classifier based on RBF SVM, random forest and logistic regression. The final method is efficient so we believe that it is applicable to embedded environments.

Under the conditional independence assumption among local features, the Naive Bayes Nearest Neighbor (NBNN) classifier has been recently proposed and performs classification without any training or quantization phases. While the original NBNN shows high classification accuracy without adopting an explicit training phase, the conditional independence among local features is against the compositionality of objects indicating that different, but related parts of an object appear together. As a result, the assumption of the conditional independence weakens the accuracy of classification techniques based on NBNN. In this work, we look into this issue, and propose a novel Bayesian network for an NBNN based classification to consider the conditional dependence among features. To achieve our goal, we extract a high-level feature and its corresponding, multiple low-level features for each image patch. We then represent them based on a simple, two-level layered Bayesian network, and design its classification function considering our Bayesian network. To achieve low memory requirement and fast query-time performance, we further optimize our representation and classification function, named relation-based Bayesian network, by considering and representing the relationship between a high-level feature and its low-level features into a compact relation vector, whose dimensionality is the same as the number of low-level features, e.g., four elements in our tests. We have demonstrated the benefits of our method over the original NBNN and its recent improvement, and local NBNN in two different benchmarks. Our method shows improved accuracy, up to 27% against the tested methods. This high accuracy is mainly due to consideration of the conditional dependences between high-level and its corresponding low-level features.

뇌 MRI 영상의 자동 분류는 뇌종양의 조기 진단을 하는 데 있어 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서 우리는 심층 특징 앙상블을 사용한 MRI 영상에서의 딥 러닝 기반 뇌종양 분류 모델을 제안한다. 우선 사전 학습된 3개의 합성 곱 신경망을 사용하여 입력 MRI 영상에 대한 심층 특징들을 추출한다. 그 이후 추출된 심층 특징들은 완전 연결 계층들로 구성된 분류 모듈의 입력 값으로 들어간다. 분류 모듈에서는 우선 3개의 서로 다른 심층 특징들 각각에 대해 먼저 완전 연결 계층을 거쳐 특징 차원을 줄인다. 그 이후 3개의 차원이 준 특징들을 결합하여 하나의 특징 벡터를 생성한 뒤 다시 완전 연결 계층의 입력값으로 들어가서 최종적인 분류 결과를 예측한다. 우리가 제안한 모델을 평가하기 위해 웹상에 공개된 뇌 MRI 데이터 셋을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 우리가 제안한 모델이 다른 기계학습 기반 모델보다 더 좋은 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new content-based color image retrieval algorithm. The algorithm makes use of two features; colors as global features and block classification results as local features. More specifically, we obtain R, G, B color histograms and classify nonoverlapping small image blocks into texture, monotone, and various edges, then using these histograms and classification results were make a similarity measure. Experimental results show that retrieval rate of the proposed algorithm is higher than the previous method.

EEG-based brain computer interface(BCI) provides a new communication channel between human brain and computer. EEG data is a multivariate time series so that hidden Markov model (HMM) might be a good choice for classification. However EEG is very noisy data and contains artifacts, so useful features mr expected to improve the performance of HMM. In this paper we addresses the usefulness of principal component features with Hidden Markov model (HHM). We show that some selected principal component features can suppress small noises and artifacts, hence improves classification performance. Experimental study for the classification of EEG data during imagination of a left, right up or down hand movement confirms the validity of our proposed method.
