Feature Extraction and Selection for Pain Recognition Using Peripheral Physiological Signals.
2019
In pattern recognition, the selection of appropriate features is paramount to both the performance and the robustness of the system. Over-reliance on machine learning-based feature selection methods can, therefore, be problematic; especially when conducted using small snapshots of data. The results of these methods, if adopted without proper interpretation, can lead to sub-optimal system design or worse, the abandonment of otherwise viable and important features. In this work, a deep exploration of pain-based emotion classification was conducted to better understand differences in the results of the related literature. In total, 155 different time domain and frequency domain features were e…
Nonnegative Tensor Train Decompositions for Multi-domain Feature Extraction and Clustering
2016
Tensor train (TT) is one of the modern tensor decomposition models for low-rank approximation of high-order tensors. For nonnegative multiway array data analysis, we propose a nonnegative TT (NTT) decomposition algorithm for the NTT model and a hybrid model called the NTT-Tucker model. By employing the hierarchical alternating least squares approach, each fiber vector of core tensors is optimized efficiently at each iteration. We compared the performances of the proposed method with a standard nonnegative Tucker decomposition (NTD) algorithm by using benchmark data sets including event-related potential data and facial image data in multi-domain feature extraction and clustering tasks. It i…
Dynamics-based action recognition for motor intention prediction
2020
Abstract Powered lower-limb prostheses presented in the previous chapter require a natural and easy-to-use interface for communicating amputee’s motor intention in order to select the appropriate motor program in a given context or simply to commute from an active (powered) to a passive mode of functioning. To be accepted by amputees, such an interface should (1) not put additional cognitive load on the end-user, (2) be reliable and (3) be minimally invasive. In this chapter we present one possible solution for achieving that goal: a robust method for autonomously detecting and recognizing motor intents from a wearable sensor network mounted on a sound leg. The sensor network provides a rea…
Feature extraction and correlation for time-to-impact segmentation using log-polar images
2004
In this article we present a technique that allows high-speed movement analysis using the accurate displacement measurement given by the feature extraction and correlation method. Specially, we demonstrate that it is possible to use the time to impact computation for object segmentation. This segmentation allows the detection of objects at different distances.
Gabor filtering for feature extraction on complex images: application to defect detection on semiconductors
2006
AbstractThis paper is an extension of previous work on the image segmentation of electronic structures on patterned wafers to improve the defect detection process on optical inspection tools. Die-to-die wafer inspection is based upon the comparison of the same area on two neighbourhood dies. The dissimilarities between the images are a result of defects in this area of one of the dies. The noise level can vary from one structure to the other, within the same image. Therefore, segmentation is needed to create a mask and apply an optimal threshold in each region. Contrast variation on the texture can affect the response of the parameters used for the segmentation. This paper shows a method of…
Class Noise and Supervised Learning in Medical Domains: The Effect of Feature Extraction
2006
Inductive learning systems have been successfully applied in a number of medical domains. It is generally accepted that the highest accuracy results that an inductive learning system can achieve depend on the quality of data and on the appropriate selection of a learning algorithm for the data. In this paper we analyze the effect of class noise on supervised learning in medical domains. We review the related work on learning from noisy data and propose to use feature extraction as a pre-processing step to diminish the effect of class noise on the learning process. Our experiments with 8 medical datasets show that feature extraction indeed helps to deal with class noise. It clearly results i…
A convolutional neural network framework for blind mesh visual quality assessment
2017
In this paper, we propose a new method for blind mesh visual quality assessment using a deep learning approach. To do this, we first extract visual representative features by computing locally curvature and dihedral angles from each distorted mesh. Then, we determine from these features a set of 2D patches which are learned to a convolutional neural network (CNN). The network consists of two convolutional layers with two max-pooling layers. Then, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with two fully connected layers is integrated to summarize the learned representation into an output node. With this network structure, feature learning and regression are used to predict the quality score of a given d…
Texture Classification with Generalized Fourier Descriptors in Dimensionality Reduction Context: An Overview Exploration
2008
In the context of texture classification, this article explores the capacity and the performance of some combinations of feature extraction, linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques and several kinds of classification methods. The performances are evaluated and compared in term of classification error. In order to test our texture classification protocol, the experiment carried out images from two different sources, the well known Brodatz database and our leaf texture images database.
Automatic Image Annotation Using Random Projection in a Conceptual Space Induced from Data
2018
The main drawback of a detailed representation of visual content, whatever is its origin, is that significant features are very high dimensional. To keep the problem tractable while preserving the semantic content, a dimen- sionality reduction of the data is needed. We propose the Random Projection techniques to reduce the dimensionality. Even though this technique is sub-optimal with respect to Singular Value Decomposition its much lower computational cost make it more suitable for this problem and in par- ticular when computational resources are limited such as in mobile terminals. In this paper we present the use of a "conceptual" space, automatically induced from data, to perform automa…
CrowdVAS-Net: A Deep-CNN Based Framework to Detect Abnormal Crowd-Motion Behavior in Videos for Predicting Crowd Disaster
2019
With the increased occurrences of crowd disasters like human stampedes, crowd management and their safety during mass gathering events like concerts, congregation or political rally, etc., are vital tasks for the security personnel. In this paper, we propose a framework named as CrowdVAS-Net for crowd-motion analysis that considers velocity, acceleration and saliency features in the video frames of a moving crowd. CrowdVAS-Net relies on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for extracting motion and appearance feature representations from the video frames that help us in classifying the crowd-motion behavior as abnormal or normal from a short video clip. These feature representations a…
