Crop Type Classification Based on Clonal Selection Algorithm for High Resolution Satellite Image
Статья научная
This paper presents a hierarchical clustering algorithm for crop type classification problem using multi-spectral satellite image. In unsupervised techniques, the automatic generation of clusters and its centers is not exploited to their full potential. Hence, a hierarchical clustering algorithm is proposed which uses splitting and merging techniques. Initially, the splitting method is used to search for the best possible number of clusters and its centers using non-parametric technique i.e., clonal selection method. Using these clusters, a merging method is used to group the data points based on a parametric method (K-means algorithm). The performance of the proposed hierarchical clustering algorithm is compared with two unsupervised algorithms (K-means and Self-Organizing Map) that are available in the literature. A performance comparison of the proposed algorithm with the conventional algorithms is presented. From the results obtained, we conclude that the proposed hierarchical clustering algorithm is more accurate.

In this paper we propose a method for automatic detection of crowd escape behaviour. Motion features are extracted by optical flow using Lucas-Kanade derivative of Gaussian method (LKDoG) followed by robust probabilistic weighted feature pooling operation. Probabilistic feature polling chooses the most descriptive features in the sub-block and summarizes the joint representation of the selected features by Probabilistic Weighted Optical Flow Magnitude Histogram (PWOFMH) and Probabilistic Weighted Optical Flow Direction Histogram (PWOFDH). One class Extreme Learning Machine (OC-ELM) is used to train and test our proposed algorithm. The accuracy of our proposed method is evaluated on UMN, PETS 2009 and AVANUE datasets and correlations with the best in class techniques approves the upsides of our proposed method.

Curvelet transform for efficient static texture classification and image fusion
Статья научная
Wavelet Transform (WT) has widely been used in signal processing. WT breaks a signal into its wavelets that are scaled and shifted versions of given signal. Thus wavelets are able represent graphical objects. The irregular shape and compact support of wavelets made them ideal for analyzing non-stationary signals. They are useful in analysis in both temporal and frequency domains. In contract, the Fourier transform provides information in frequency domain lacking in information in time domain. Thus wavelets became popular for signal processing and image processing applications. Nevertheless, wavelets suffer from a drawback as they cannot effectively represent images at different angles and different scales. To overcome this problem, of late, Curvelet Transform (CT) came into existence. CT is nothing but the higher dimensional generalization of WT which can effectively represent images at different angles and different scales. In this paper we proposed a CT method that is used to represent textures and classify them. The methodology used in this paper has an underlying approach that exploits statistical features of curvelets that resulted in curvelet decomposition. We built a prototype application using MATLAB to demonstrate proof of the concept.

Curvilinear Tracing Approach for Extracting Kannada Word Sign Symbol from Sign Video
Статья научная
Gesture based communications are utilized as a primary method of correspondence, however, the differing qualities in the sign image portrayal limit its use to district bound. There is a tremendous assorted quality in the sign image portrayal from one nation to another, one state to another. In India, there is distinctive gesture-based communication watched for each state locale. It is henceforth exceptionally troublesome for one area individual to convey to other utilizing a signature image. This paper proposes a curvilinear tracing approach for the shape portrayal of Kannada communication via gestures acknowledgment. To build up this approach, a dataset is consequently made with all Swaragalu, Vyanjanagalu, Materials and Numbers in Kannada dialect. The arrangement of the dataset is framed by characterizing a vocabulary dataset for various sign images utilized as a part of regular interfacing. In the portrayal of gesture-based communication for acknowledgment, edge elements of hand areas are thought to be an ideal element portrayal of communication through signing. In the preparing of gesture-based communication, the agent includes assumes a critical part in arrangement execution. For the developed approach of sign language detection, where a single significant transformation is carried out, a word level detection is then performed. To represent the processing efficiency, a set of cue symbols is used for formulating a word. This word symbols are then processed to evaluate the performance for sign language detection. Word processing is carried out as a recursive process of a single cue symbol representation, where each frame data are processed for a curvilinear shape feature. The frame data are extracted based on the frame reading rate and multiple frames are processed in successive format to extract the region of interest. A system outline to process the video data and to give an optimal frame processing for sign recognition a word level process is performed.

Cut off Your Arm: A Medium-Cost System for Integrating a 3D Object with a Real Actor
Статья научная
In the film industry, many tricks have been employed using the integration of a 3D object with a real actor. Usually, attaching a 3D object with a real actor is a costly process because of the usage of an expensive motion capture system. This paper presents a system using a medium-cost motion capture system and a chroma-keying technique for generating a video footage of an actor with an integrated 3D object (e.g. amputated arm). The result of the proposed system shows the attaching process of different 3D objects with a real actor who is combined with a new background scene in the same viewpoint.

Cyclic Analysis of Phonocardiogram Signals
Статья научная
Acoustic vibrations of the heart in time domain correspond to phonocardiogram (PCG) signal. A PCG signal, in the healthy case, consists of two fundamental sounds s1 and s2 produced by the mechanical functioning of the heart. Abnormalities in the heart valves correspond to other cardiac sounds than s1 and s2. This makes PCG signal a valuable tool related to the track of heart diseases. Actually, the characterization and the analysis of PCG signals is being a fertile area of study and investigation. However, most of the topics which treated this area of research focused only on time-frequency analysis, without exploiting the periodic character of PCG signal due to the limitations of the PCG modeling. In this work, we propose a coherent mathematical model for PCG signals based on cyclostationarity and Gabor kernel. The motivation behind is to define a framework, utilizing cyclic statistic due to noise robustness, for a full description of PCG signals, which leads to an easy and efficient early identification of certain heart abnormalities. The validation of the proposed model and its capacity to reflect the heart functioning is tested over synthetic and real data sets.

Cyclic Sparse Greedy Deconvolution
Статья научная
The purpose of this study is to introduce the concept of cyclic sparsity or cyclosparsity in deconvolution framework for signals that are jointly sparse and cyclostationary. Indeed, all related works in this area exploit only one property, either sparsity or cyclostationarity and never both properties together. Although, the key feature of the cyclosparsity concept is that it gathers both properties to better characterize this kind of signals. We show that deconvolution based on cyclic sparsity increases the performances and reduces significantly the computation cost. Finally, we use simulations to investigate the behavior in deconvolution framework of the algorithms MP, OMP and theirs respective extensions to cyclic sparsity context, Cyclo-MP and Cyclo-OMP.

Cyclic analysis of extra heart sounds: gauss kernel based model
Статья научная
Phonocardiograms (PCG) Phonocardiograms (PCG) are recordings of the acoustic waves produced by the mechanical action of the cardiac system. This makes PCG an effective method for tracking the progress of heart diseases. A PCG signal, in the healthy case, consists of two fundamental sounds s1 and s2. These two elements are derived from the mechanical functioning of the heart. A triple rhythm in diastole is called a gallop and results from the presence of a heart sound s3, s4 or both. An Extra Heart Sound (EHS) may not be a sign of disease. However, in some situations it is an important sign of disease, which, if detected early, could save lives. The major aim of this study is to propose cyclostationary and Gabor kernel based mathematical model for extra heart sounds. The ambition behind it is to present a framework, making use of cyclic statistics for robustness to low SNR conditions, which allow the detection of EHS s3 and s4 and hence the early identification of some heart diseases. For this reason, the proposed model is compared with the one of normal PCG signal [17] in order to set up the differences allowing the early detection of EHS. Lastly, this research is proved on experimental data sets.

Cyclone Prediction from Remote Sensing Images Using Hybrid Deep Learning Approach Based on AlexNet
Статья научная
With the world feeling the negative effects of climate change, detecting and predicting severe weather occurrences is now an extremely vital and difficult task. Cyclones, a type of extreme weather phenomenon, have increased in frequency and severity in Indian subcontinent regions over the past few years. It is estimated that around three cyclones struck the east coastal region of India, causing substantial damage to people, farms, and infrastructure. Predicting cyclones ahead of time is crucial for avoiding or significantly lowering the devastating effects. The traditional methodologies employed numerical equations that demand strong experience and greater skills to obtain satisfactory prediction accuracy. Problems with domain expertise and the probability of human mistakes can be avoided with the help of Deep Learning (DL). As a result, in this work, we sought to forecast cyclone intensity using a Convolution Neural Network (CNN), a basic DL structure. To increase the CNN model's architecture and effectiveness, hybrid models such as Convolution Neural Network & Long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) and AlexNet & Gated recurrent units (AlexNet-GRU) are developed. Data from the INSAT 3D satellite was utilized to develop and evaluate the DL model. We processed both the training and testing dataset and increase the training dataset using augmentation. All three DL models are tested and compared, the AlexNet-GRU model outperforms on the test data, with a relatively high accuracy of 93.35% and a low mean square error (MSE) of 215.
