ResNet employs a residual learning strategy that maps inputs directly to outputs, making it less difficult to optimize. In this paper, we incorporate differential information into the original residual block to improve the representative ability of the ResNet, allowing the modified network to capture more complex and metaphysical features. The proposed DFNet preserves the features after each convolutional operation in the residual block, and combines the feature maps of different levels of abstraction through the differential information. To verify the effectiveness of DFNet on image recognition, we select six distinct classification datasets. The experimental results show that our proposed DFNet has better performance and generalization ability than other state-of-the-art variants of ResNet in terms of classification accuracy and other statistical analysis.展开更多

The algorithm is able to track the human face against a complex background and also works well when temporary occlusion occurs. We also obtain a very high recognition rate by averaging a number of samples over a long image sequence. The proposed approach has been successfully tested by many experiments, and can operate at 20 frames/s on an 800 MHz PC.展开更多

Finally, based on these distance measures, some similarity measures between IVIFSs are defined, and the similarity measures are applied to pattern recognitions with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information.展开更多

It redefines the regular objective function by introducing a novel class label definition, and the relative class label matrix can be adaptively adjusted to the kernel matrix.Compared with the common methods, the newobjective function can enlarge the distance between different classes, which therefore yields better recognition rates. In addition, an iteration parameter searching technique is adopted to improve the computational efficiency. The extensive experiments on FERET and GT face databases illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed EKMSE. It outperforms the original MSE, KMSE,some KMSE improvement methods, and even the sparse representation-based techniques in face recognition, such as collaborate representation classification（ CRC）.展开更多

To remedy the defects of recognizer based on electromyogram(EMG), we develop a pure mechanical sensor architecture for intent pattern recognition of lower-limb motion. The sensor system is composed of an accelerometer, a gyroscope mounted on the prosthetic socket, and two pressure sensors mounted under the sole. To compensate the delay in the control of prosthesis, the signals in the stance phase are used to predict the terrain and speed in the swing phase. Specifically, the intent pattern recognizer utilizes intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) according to the Cartesian product of walking speed and terrain. Moreover, the sensor data are fused via DempsterShafer's theory. And hidden Markov model(HMM) is used to recognize the realtime motion state with the reference of the prior step. The proposed method can infer the prosthesis user's intent of walking on different terrain, which includes level ground,stair ascent, stair descent, up and down ramp. The experiments demonstrate that the intent pattern recognizer is capable of identifying five typical terrain-modes with the rate of 95.8%. The outcome of this investigation is expected to substantially improve the control performance of powered above-knee prosthesis.展开更多

This work introduces a pattern recognition methodology for operational condition clustering in a structure sample using the well known Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise(DBSCAN) algorithm.The methodology was validated using a data set from an experiment with 32 Fiber Bragg Gratings bonded to an aluminum beam placed in cantilever and submitted to cyclic bending loads under 13 different operational conditions(pitch angles). Further, the computational cost and precision of the machine learning pipeline called FA + GA-DBSCAN(which employs a combination of machine learning techniques including factor analysis for dimensionality reduction and a genetic algorithm for the automatic selection of initial parameters of DBSCAN) was measured. The obtained results have shown a good performance, detecting 12 of 13 operational conditions, with an overall precision over 90%.展开更多

文摘Water scarcity and environment deterioration have become main constraints to sustainable economic and social development.Scientifically assessing Water Resources Carrying Capacity(WRCC)is essential for the optimal allocation of regional water resources.The hilly area at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountains is a key water conservation zone and an important water source for Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei.Grasping the current status and temporal trends of water quality and WRCC in representative small watersheds within this region is crucial for supporting rational water resources allocation and environment protection efforts.This study focuses on Pingquan City,a typical watershed in northern Hebei Province.Firstly,evaluation index systems for surface water quality,groundwater quality and WRCC were estab-lished based on the Pressure-State-Response(PSR)framework.Then,comprehensive evaluations of water quality and WRCC at the sub-watershed scale were conducted using the Varying Fuzzy Pattern Recogni-tion(VFPR)model.Finally,the rationality of the evaluation results was verified,and future scenarios were projected.Results showed that:(1)The average comprehensive evaluation scores for surface water and groundwater quality in the sub-watersheds were 1.44 and 1.46,respectively,indicating that both met the national Class II water quality standard and reflected a high-quality water environment.(2)From 2010 to 2020,the region's WRCC steadily improved,with scores rising from 2.99 to 2.83 and an average of 2.90,suggesting effective water resources management in Pingquan City.(3)According to scenario-based predic-tion,WRCC may slightly decline between 2025 and 2030,reaching 2.92 and 2.94,respectively,relative to 2020 levels.Therefore,future efforts should focus on strengthening scientific management and promoting the efficient use of water resources.Proactive measures are necessary to mitigate emerging contradiction and ensure the long-term stability and sustainability of the water resources system in the region.The evalua-tion system and spatiotemporal evolution patterns proposed in this study can provide a scientific basis for refined water resource management and ecological conservation in similar hilly areas.

文摘Inertial Sensor-based Daily Activity Recognition(IS-DAR)requires adaptable,data-efficient methods for effective multi-sensor use.This study presents an advanced detection system using body-worn sensors to accurately recognize activities.A structured pipeline enhances IS-DAR by applying signal preprocessing,feature extraction and optimization,followed by classification.Before segmentation,a Chebyshev filter removes noise,and Blackman window-ing improves signal representation.Discriminative features-Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM)with Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC),spectral entropy,quaternion-based features,and Gammatone Cepstral Coefficients(GCC)-are fused to expand the feature space.Unlike existing approaches,the proposed IS-DAR system uniquely inte-grates diverse handcrafted features using a novel fusion strategy combined with Bayesian-based optimization,enabling a more accurate and generalized activity recognition.The key contribution lies in the joint optimization and fusion of features via Bayesian-based subset selection,resulting in a compact and highly discriminative feature representation.These features are then fed into a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)to effectively detect spatial-temporal patterns in activity signals.Testing on two public datasets-IM-WSHA and ENABL3S-achieved accuracy levels of 93.0%and 92.0%,respectively.The integration of advanced feature extraction methods with fusion and optimization techniques significantly enhanced detection performance,surpassing traditional methods.The obtained results establish the effectiveness of the proposed IS-DAR system for deployment in real-world activity recognition applications.

文摘The ionosphere is an important component of the near Earth space environment.The three common methods for detecting the ionosphere with high frequency(HF)radio signals are vertical detection,oblique detection,and oblique backscatter detection.The ionograms obtained by these detection methods can effectively reflect a large amount of effective information in the ionosphere.The focus of this article is on the oblique backscatter ionogram obtained by oblique backscatter detection.By extracting the leading edge of the oblique backscatter ionogram,effective information in the ionosphere can be inverted.The key issue is how to accurately obtain the leading edge of the oblique backscatter ionogram.In recent years,the application of pattern recognition has become increasingly widespread,and the YOLO model is one of the best fast object detection algorithms in one-stage.Therefore,the core idea of this article is to use the newer YOLOX object detection algorithm in the YOLO family to perform pattern recognition on the F and E_(s) layers echoes in the oblique backscatter ionogram.After image processing,a single-layer oblique backscatter echoes are obtained.It can be found that the leading edge extraction of the oblique backscatter ionogram obtained after pattern recognition and image processing by the YOLOX model is more fitting to the actual oblique backscatter leading edge.

文摘In recent years,audio pattern recognition has emerged as a key area of research,driven by its applications in human-computer interaction,robotics,and healthcare.Traditional methods,which rely heavily on handcrafted features such asMel filters,often suffer frominformation loss and limited feature representation capabilities.To address these limitations,this study proposes an innovative end-to-end audio pattern recognition framework that directly processes raw audio signals,preserving original information and extracting effective classification features.The proposed framework utilizes a dual-branch architecture:a global refinement module that retains channel and temporal details and a multi-scale embedding module that captures high-level semantic information.Additionally,a guided fusion module integrates complementary features from both branches,ensuring a comprehensive representation of audio data.Specifically,the multi-scale audio context embedding module is designed to effectively extract spatiotemporal dependencies,while the global refinement module aggregates multi-scale channel and temporal cues for enhanced modeling.The guided fusion module leverages these features to achieve efficient integration of complementary information,resulting in improved classification accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate the model’s superior performance on multiple datasets,including ESC-50,UrbanSound8K,RAVDESS,and CREMA-D,with classification accuracies of 93.25%,90.91%,92.36%,and 70.50%,respectively.These results highlight the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed framework,which significantly outperforms existing approaches.By addressing critical challenges such as information loss and limited feature representation,thiswork provides newinsights and methodologies for advancing audio classification and multimodal interaction systems.

文摘Residual neural network (ResNet) is a powerful neural network architecture that has proven to be excellent in extracting spatial and channel-wise information of images. ResNet employs a residual learning strategy that maps inputs directly to outputs, making it less difficult to optimize. In this paper, we incorporate differential information into the original residual block to improve the representative ability of the ResNet, allowing the modified network to capture more complex and metaphysical features. The proposed DFNet preserves the features after each convolutional operation in the residual block, and combines the feature maps of different levels of abstraction through the differential information. To verify the effectiveness of DFNet on image recognition, we select six distinct classification datasets. The experimental results show that our proposed DFNet has better performance and generalization ability than other state-of-the-art variants of ResNet in terms of classification accuracy and other statistical analysis.
文摘A framework of real time face tracking and recognition is presented, which integrates skin color based tracking and PCA/BPNN (principle component analysis/back propagation neural network) hybrid recognition techniques. The algorithm is able to track the human face against a complex background and also works well when temporary occlusion occurs. We also obtain a very high recognition rate by averaging a number of samples over a long image sequence. The proposed approach has been successfully tested by many experiments, and can operate at 20 frames/s on an 800 MHz PC.

文摘To improve the recognition accuracy of off-line handwritten Tibetan characters the local gradient direction histograms based on the wavelet transform are proposed as the recognition features.First for a Tibetan character sample image the first level approximation component of the Haar wavelet transform is calculated.Secondly the approximation component is partitioned into several equal-sized zones. Finally the gradient direction histograms of each zone are calculated and the local direction histograms of the approximation component are considered as the features of the character sample image.The proposed method is tested on the recently developed off-line Tibetan handwritten character sample database.The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed feature extraction method.Furthermore compared with the detail components the approximation component contributes more to the recognition accuracy.

文摘The concept of the degree of similarity between interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets （IVIFSs） is introduced, and some distance measures between IVIFSs are defined based on the Hamming distance, the normalized Hamming distance, the weighted Hamming distance, the Euclidean distance, the normalized Euclidean distance, and the weighted Euclidean distance, etc. Then, by combining the Hausdorff metric with the Hamming distance, the Euclidean distance and their weighted versions, two other similarity measures between IVIFSs, i. e., the weighted Hamming distance based on the Hausdorff metric and the weighted Euclidean distance based on the Hausdorff metric, are defined, and then some of their properties are studied. Finally, based on these distance measures, some similarity measures between IVIFSs are defined, and the similarity measures are applied to pattern recognitions with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information.

文摘To improve the classification performance of the kernel minimum squared error（ KMSE）, an enhanced KMSE algorithm（ EKMSE） is proposed. It redefines the regular objective function by introducing a novel class label definition, and the relative class label matrix can be adaptively adjusted to the kernel matrix.Compared with the common methods, the newobjective function can enlarge the distance between different classes, which therefore yields better recognition rates. In addition, an iteration parameter searching technique is adopted to improve the computational efficiency. The extensive experiments on FERET and GT face databases illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed EKMSE. It outperforms the original MSE, KMSE,some KMSE improvement methods, and even the sparse representation-based techniques in face recognition, such as collaborate representation classification（ CRC）.
文摘A hybrid network is presented for spatio-temporal feature detecting, which is called TS-LM-SOFM. Its top layer is a novel single layer temporal sequence recognizer called TS which can transform sparse temporal sequential pattern into abstract spatial feature representations. The bottom layer of TS-LM-SOFM, a modified self-organizing feature map, is used as a spatial feature detector. A learning matrix connects the two layers. Experiments show that the hybrid network can well capture the spatio-temporal features of input signals.

文摘Based on the regularity nature of lower-limb motion,an intent pattern recognition approach for above-knee prosthesis is proposed in this paper. To remedy the defects of recognizer based on electromyogram(EMG), we develop a pure mechanical sensor architecture for intent pattern recognition of lower-limb motion. The sensor system is composed of an accelerometer, a gyroscope mounted on the prosthetic socket, and two pressure sensors mounted under the sole. To compensate the delay in the control of prosthesis, the signals in the stance phase are used to predict the terrain and speed in the swing phase. Specifically, the intent pattern recognizer utilizes intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) according to the Cartesian product of walking speed and terrain. Moreover, the sensor data are fused via DempsterShafer's theory. And hidden Markov model(HMM) is used to recognize the realtime motion state with the reference of the prior step. The proposed method can infer the prosthesis user's intent of walking on different terrain, which includes level ground,stair ascent, stair descent, up and down ramp. The experiments demonstrate that the intent pattern recognizer is capable of identifying five typical terrain-modes with the rate of 95.8%. The outcome of this investigation is expected to substantially improve the control performance of powered above-knee prosthesis.

文摘Structural Health Monitoring(SHM) suggests the use of machine learning algorithms with the aim of understanding specific behaviors in a structural system. This work introduces a pattern recognition methodology for operational condition clustering in a structure sample using the well known Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise(DBSCAN) algorithm.The methodology was validated using a data set from an experiment with 32 Fiber Bragg Gratings bonded to an aluminum beam placed in cantilever and submitted to cyclic bending loads under 13 different operational conditions(pitch angles). Further, the computational cost and precision of the machine learning pipeline called FA + GA-DBSCAN(which employs a combination of machine learning techniques including factor analysis for dimensionality reduction and a genetic algorithm for the automatic selection of initial parameters of DBSCAN) was measured. The obtained results have shown a good performance, detecting 12 of 13 operational conditions, with an overall precision over 90%.
