Purpose: This study investigated different band selection methods to classify spectrally similar data - obtained from aerial images of healthy citrus canopies and citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing or HLB) infected canopies - using small differences without unmixing endmember components and therefore without the need for an endmember library. However, large number of hyperspectral bands has high redundancy which had to be reduced through band selection. The objective, therefore, was to first select the best set of bands and then detect citrus Huanglongbing infected canopies using these bands in aerial hyperspectral images. Methods: The forward feature selection algorithm (FFSA) was chosen for band selection. The selected bands were used for identifying HLB infected pixels using various classifiers such as K nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), naïve Bayesian classifier (NBC), and generalized local discriminant bases (LDB). All bands were also utilized to compare results. Results: It was determined that a few well-chosen bands yielded much better results than when all bands were chosen, and brought the classification results on par with standard hyperspectral classification techniques such as spectral angle mapper (SAM) and mixture tuned matched filtering (MTMF). Median detection accuracies ranged from 66-80%, which showed great potential toward rapid detection of the disease. Conclusions: Among the methods investigated, a support vector machine classifier combined with the forward feature selection algorithm yielded the best results.

For the fault diagnosis of power transformer, we develop a diagnosis algorithm based on support vector machine. The proposed fault diagnosis system consists of data acquisition, fault/normal diagnosis, and identification of fault. In data acquisition part, concentrated gases are extracted from transformer for data gas analysis. In fault/normal diagnosis part, KEPCO based decision rule is performed to separate normal state from fault types. The determination of fault type is executed by multi-class SVM in identification part. As the simulation results to verify the effectiveness, the proposed method showed more improved classification results than conventional methods.

This paper presents a ballistic limit velocity measurement using the support vector machine that classifies two classes, the partial penetration and the complete penetration, by generating a linear separating hyperplane that equally divides the classes. For the ballistic limit velocity measurement, the previous methods(MIL-STD-662F and NIJ-STD-0101.06) have required a large number of experiments that caused high cost and time. However, the proposed method is not only flexible, requiring 0.85 ~ 4.8 times fewer experiments but also reliable, providing less than 2 % difference in results compared to the previous methods. For its validation, live fire experiments were conducted using various thickness SS400 iron plates as a target and two different types of live bullets such as 5.56 mm M193 and 7.62 mm M80.

Many studies have generally used a large number of pure pixels as an approach to training set design. The training set are used, however, varies between classifiers. In the recent research, it was reported that small mixed pixels between classes are actually more useful than larger pure pixels of each class in Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification. We evaluated a usability of small mixed pixels as a training set for the classification of high-resolution satellite imagery. We presented an advanced approach to obtain a mixed pixel readily, and evaluated the appropriateness with the land cover classification from IKONOS satellite imagery. The results showed that the accuracy of the classification based on small mixed pixels is nearly identical to the accuracy of the classification based on large pure pixels. However, it also showed a limitation that small mixed pixels used may provide insufficient information to separate the classes. Small mixed pixels of the class border region provide cost-effective training sets, but its use with other pixels must be considered in use of high-resolution satellite imagery or relatively complex land cover situations.

소비자의 신용 대출 규모가 점차 증가하면서 기업에서 고객의 신용 등급에 의한 정확한 고객 분류를 필요로 하고 있다 이를 위해 판별 분석과 신경망의 역전파(BP: Back Propagation)를 이용한 고객 분류 시스템이 연구되었다. 그러나, 판별 분석을 사용한 방법은 불규칙한 신용 거래의 성향을 보이는 비정규 분포의 고객 데이터의 영향으로 여러 개의 판별 함수와 판별점이 존재하여 분류 정확도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 신경망을 이용한 방법은 불규칙한 신용 거래의 성향을 보이는 고객 데이터에 의해서, 지역 최소점(Local Minima)에 빠져 최대의 분류 정확률을 보이는 분류자를 얻지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 연구의 분류 정확률을 저하시키는 단점을 해결하기 위해 SVM(Support Vector Machine)을 사용하여 고객의 신용 등급을 분류하는 방법을 제안한다. SVM은 SV(Support Vector)의 수에 의해서 학습 성능이 좌우되므로, 불규칙한 거래 성향을 보이는 고객에 대해서도 높은 차원으로의 매핑을 통하여, 효과적으로 학습시킬 수 있어 분류의 정확도를 높일 수 있다 하지만, SVM은 근사화 알고리즘(Approximation Algorithms)을 이용하므로 분류 정확도가 이론적인 성능에 미치지 못한다. 따라서, 본 논문은 점진적 앙상블 SVM을 사용하여, 기존의 고객 분류 시스템의 문제점을 해결하고 실제적으로 SVM의 분류 정확률을 높인다. 실험 결과는 점진적 앙상블 SVM을 이용한 방법의 정확성이 기존의 방법보다 높다는 것을 보여준다.

It is important to accurately measure and control the relative humidity of humidified gas entering a PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell stack because the level of humidification strongly affects the performance and durability of the stack. Humidity measurement devices can be used to directly measure the relative humidity, but they cost much to be equipped and occupy spaces in a fuel cell system. We present soft sensors for predicting the relative humidity without actual humidity measuring devices. By combining FIR (finite impulse response) model with PLS (partial least square) and SVM (support vector machine) regression models, DPLS (dynamic PLS) and DSVM (dynamic SVM) soft sensors were developed to correctly estimate the relative humidity of humidified gases exiting a planar-type membrane humidifier. The DSVM soft sensor showed a better prediction performance than the DPLS one because it is able to capture nonlinear correlations between the relative humidity and the input data of the soft sensors. Without actual humidity sensors, the soft sensors presented in this work can be used to monitor and control the humidity in operation of PEM fuel cell systems.

In this paper, a VoIP-based voice secure telecommunication technology using the text-independent speaker authentication in the telematics environments is proposed. For the secure telecommunication, the sender's voice packets are encrypted by the public-key generated from the speaker's voice information and submitted to the receiver. It is constructed to resist against the man-in-the middle attack. At the receiver side, voice features extracted from the received voice packets are compared with the reference voice-key received from the sender side for the speaker authentication. To improve the accuracy of text-independent speaker authentication, Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM)-supervectors are applied to Support Vector Machine (SVM) kernel using Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and Mahalanobis distance (MD).

In this paper, we propose an efficient automatic pedestrian removal system from a frame in a video sequence. It firstly finds pedestrians from the frame using a Histogram of Oriented Gradient(HOG) / Linear-Support Vector Machine(L-SVM) classifier, searches for proper background patches, and then the patches are used to replace the deleted pedestrians. Background patches are retrieved from the reference video sequence and a modified feather blender algorithm is applied to make boundaries of replaced blocks look naturally. The proposed system, is designed to automatically detect object and generate natural-looking patches, while most existing systems provide search operation in manual. In the experiment, the average PSNR of the replaced blocks is 19.246

Human sensing is an important but challenging technology. Unlike other methods for sensing humans, a vision sensor has many advantages, and there has been active research in automatic human detection in camera images. The combination of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is currently one of the most successful methods in vision-based human detection. However, extracting HOG features from an image is computer intensive, and it is thus hard to employ the HOG method in real-time processing applications. This paper describes an efficient solution to this speed problem of the HOG method. Our method obtains edge information of an image and finds candidate regions where humans very likely exist based on the distribution pattern of the detected edge points. The HOG features are then extracted only from the candidate image regions. Since complex HOG processing is adaptively done by the guidance of the simpler edge detection step, human detection can be performed quickly. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in various images.
