Abstract Human-human interaction recognition is crucial in computer vision fields like surveillance, human-computer interaction, and social robotics. It enhances systems’ ability to interpret and respond to human behavior precisely. This research focuses on recognizing human interaction behaviors using a static image, which is challenging due to the complexity of diverse actions. The overall purpose of this study is to develop a robust and accurate system for human interaction recognition. This research presents a novel image-based human interaction recognition method using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The technique employs hue, saturation, and intensity (HSI) color transformation to enhance colors in video frames,… More >

Abstract

The high dimensionalhyperspectral image classification is a challenging task due to the spectral feature vectors. The high correlation between these features and the noises greatly affects the classification performances. To overcome this, dimensionality reduction techniques are widely used. Traditional image processing applications recently propose numerous deep learning models. However, in hyperspectral image classification, the features of deep learning models are less explored. Thus, for efficient hyperspectral image classification, a depth-wise convolutional neural network is presented in this research work. To handle the dimensionality issue in the classification process, an optimized self-organized map model is employed using a water strider optimization… More >

Abstract In view of the fact that the prediction effect of influential financial customer churn in the Internet of Things environment is difficult to achieve the expectation, at the smart contract level of the blockchain, a customer churn prediction framework based on situational awareness and integrating customer attributes, the impact of project hotspots on customer interests, and customer satisfaction with the project has been built. This framework introduces the background factors in the financial customer environment, and further discusses the relationship between customers, the background of customers and the characteristics of pre-lost customers. The improved Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) algorithm and… More >

Abstract Clustering high dimensional data is challenging as data dimensionality increases the distance between data points, resulting in sparse regions that degrade clustering performance. Subspace clustering is a common approach for processing high-dimensional data by finding relevant features for each cluster in the data space. Subspace clustering methods extend traditional clustering to account for the constraints imposed by data streams. Data streams are not only high-dimensional, but also unbounded and evolving. This necessitates the development of subspace clustering algorithms that can handle high dimensionality and adapt to the unique characteristics of data streams. Although many articles have contributed to the literature… More >

Abstract The prediction of mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has gained the attention of huge researchers as the disease occurrence is increasing, and there is a need for earlier prediction. Regrettably, due to the high-dimensionality nature of neural data and the least available samples, modelling an efficient computer diagnostic system is highly solicited. Learning approaches, specifically deep learning approaches, are essential in disease prediction. Deep Learning (DL) approaches are successfully demonstrated for their higher-level performance in various fields like medical imaging. A novel 3D-Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) architecture is proposed to predict AD with Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.… More >

Abstract Hyperspectral imaging is gaining a significant role in agricultural remote sensing applications. Its data unit is the hyperspectral cube which holds spatial information in two dimensions while spectral band information of each pixel in the third dimension. The classification accuracy of hyperspectral images (HSI) increases significantly by employing both spatial and spectral features. For this work, the data was acquired using an airborne hyperspectral imager system which collected HSI in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) range of 400 to 1000 nm wavelength within 180 spectral bands. The dataset is collected for nine different crops on agricultural land with a spectral… More >

Abstract Globally, depression is perceived as the most recurrent and risky disorder among young people and adults under the age of 60. Depression has a strong influence on the usage of words which can be observed in the form of written texts or stories posted on social media. With the help of Natural Language Processing(NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, the depressive signs expressed by people can be identified at the earliest stage from their Social Media posts. The proposed work aims to introduce an efficacious depression detection model unifying an exemplary feature extraction scheme and a hybrid Long Short-Term Memory… More >

Abstract Anomaly detection in images has attracted a lot of attention in the field of computer vision. It aims at identifying images that deviate from the norm and segmenting the defect within images. However, anomalous samples are difficult to collect comprehensively, and labeled data is costly to obtain in many practical scenarios. We proposes a simple framework for unsupervised anomaly detection. Specifically, the proposed method directly employs CNN pre-trained on ImageNet to extract deep features from normal images and reduce dimensionality based on Principal Components Analysis (PCA), then build the distribution of normal features via the multivariate Gaussian (MVG), and determine… More >

Abstract The recognition of pathological voice is considered a difficult task for speech analysis. Moreover, otolaryngologists needed to rely on oral communication with patients to discover traces of voice pathologies like dysphonia that are caused by voice alteration of vocal folds and their accuracy is between 60%–70%. To enhance detection accuracy and reduce processing speed of dysphonia detection, a novel approach is proposed in this paper. We have leveraged Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to train multiple Machine Learning (ML) models for dysphonia detection. Several ML models are utilized like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, and K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) to predict… More >
