An unsupervised classification algorithm is proposed for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar （POLSAR） images based on the mean shift （MS） segmentation and Markov random field （MRF）. First, polarimetdc features are exacted by target decomposition for MS segmentation. An initial classification is executed by using the target decomposition and the agglomerative hierarchical clus- tering algorithm. Thereafter, a classification step based on MRF is performed by using the mean coherence matrices obtained for each segment. Under the MRF framework, the smoothness term is defined according to the distance between neighboring areas. By using POLSAR images acquired by the German Aerospace Centre and National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the experimental results confirm that the proposed method has higher accuracy and better regional connectivity than other classification methods.展开更多

The correct identification of rocks and soils is critical to many geological projects. In this study, LIBS database software with a user-friendly and intuitive interface is developed based on Windows, consisting of a database module and a sample identification module. The database module includes a basic database containing LIBS persistent lines for elements and a dedicated geological database containing LIBS emission lines for several rock and soil reference standards. The module allows easy use of the data. A sample identification module based on partial least squares discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） or support vector machine （SVM） algorithms enables users to classify groups of unknown spectra. The developed system was used to classify rock and soil data sets in a dedicated database and the results demonstrate that the system is capable of fast and accurate classification of rocks and soils, and is thus useful for the detection of geological materials.展开更多

Due to its broad applications, researchers have developed many algorithms for this kind of tasks, e.g., multivariate time series classification. Among the classifi- cation algorithms, k-nearest neighbor （k-NN） classification （particularly 1-NN） combined with dynamic time warping （DTW） achieves the state of the art performance. The defi- ciency is that when the data set grows large, the time con- sumption of 1-NN with DTW will be very expensive. In con- trast to 1-NN with DTW, it is more efficient but less ef- fective for feature-based classification methods since their performance usually depends on the quality of hand-crafted features. In this paper, we aim to improve the performance of traditional feature-based approaches through the feature learning techniques. Specifically, we propose a novel deep learning framework, multi-channels deep convolutional neu- ral networks （MC-DCNN）, for multivariate time series classi- fication. This model first learns features from individual uni- variate time series in each channel, and combines information from all channels as feature representation at the final layer. Then, the learnt features are applied into a multilayer percep- tron （MLP） for classification. Finally, the extensive experi- ments on real-world data sets show that our model is not only more efficient than the state of the art but also competitive in accuracy. This study implies that feature learning is worth to be investigated for the problem of time series classification.展开更多
