A Multi-Scale Feature Extraction and Hierarchical Discriminant Analysis Approach for Image Recognition

With the rapid development of urban rail transit in my country, the safety inspection of subway tunnel infrastructure is in urgent need of automated and intelligent theory and technology research and development. The subway tunnel lining environment is bad, there are a lot of noise and uneven illumination, and the texture features are complex. The traditional manual and image detection and recognition methods have gradually been replaced by more intelligent and effective deep learning algorithms. Therefore, this paper proposes a subway tunnel lining image recognition and detection algorithm that combines image processing and deep convolutional networks, which can quickly and accurately distinguish between cracked images and non-cracked images, and can realize intelligent target search and category labeling in complex images. In this experiment, a total of 4000 original images of subway tunnels were selected, and pixel-level shallow processing operations such as batch preprocessing, hierarchical feature analysis, and extraction of the circumscribed rectangle of the connected area were carried out. For the training sample library of crack images, pixel-level image processing experiments and classification and recognition experiments are carried out for the training sample library to obtain the optimal database processing results, and then the image recognition algorithm for complex cracks in subway tunnels is studied. Experiments show that there are more point noises and block noises in the results of the subway tunnel crack images, and the segmentation results of the crack images have relatively less noise residues. Due to the wall material, some cement materials are a little off, resulting in noise retention. This shows that the algorithm in this paper has a certain application value in the intelligent identification of actual subway tunnel diseases, and provides technical support and research ideas for the application of subsequent deep learning in subway tunnel disease detection.

This article aims to improve the accuracy of real-time image recognition in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), reduce the core network pressure of the IoT and the proportion of IoT broadband, and meet people’s demand for internet image transmission. An intelligent image fusion system based on mobile edge computing (MEC) and deep learning is proposed, which can extract the features of images and optimize the sum of intra-class distance and inter-class distance relying on the hierarchical mode of deep learning, and realize distributed computing with the edge server and base station. Through comparison with other algorithms and strategies on the text and character data sets, the effectiveness of the constructed system is verified in the performance of the algorithm and the IoT. The results reveal that the application of the unsupervised learning hierarchical discriminant analysis (HDA) has better accuracy and recall in various databases compared with conventional image recognition algorithms. When the sum intra-class and inter-class distance K is 2, the accuracy of the algorithm can be as high as 98%. The combination of MEC and layered algorithms effectively reduces the pressures of core network and shortens the response time, greatly reduces the broadband occupancy ratio. The performance of IoT is increased by 37.03% compared with the general extraction and common cloud computing. Image recognition based on the MEC architecture can reduce the amount of network transmission and reduce the response time under the premise of ensuring the recognition rate, which can provide a theoretical basis for the research and application of user image recognition under the IoT.

In order to explore the application of the image recognition model based on multi-stage convolutional neural network (MS-CNN) in the deep learning neural network in the intelligent recognition of commodity images and the recognition performance of the method, in the study, the features of color, shape, and texture of commodity images are first analyzed, and the basic structure of deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model is analyzed. Then, 50,000 pictures containing different commodities are constructed to verify the recognition effect of the model. Finally, the MS-CNN model is taken as the research object for improvement to explore the influence of label errors (p = 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, 0.12) with different parameter settings and different probabilities (size of convolutional kernel, Dropout rate) on the recognition accuracy of MS-CNN model, at the same time, a CIR system platform based on MS-CNN model is built, and the recognition performance of salt and pepper noise images with different SNR (0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1) was compared, then the performance of the algorithm in the actual image recognition test was compared. The results show that the recognition accuracy is the highest (97.8%) when the convolution kernel size in the MS-CNN model is 2*2 and 3*3, and the average recognition accuracy is the highest (97.8%) when the dropout rate is 0.1; when the error probability of picture label is 12%, the recognition accuracy of the model constructed in this study is above 96%. Finally, the commodity image database constructed in this study is used to identify and verify the model. The recognition accuracy of the algorithm in this study is significantly higher than that of the Minitch stochastic gradient descent algorithm under different SNR conditions, and the recognition accuracy is the highest when SNR = 0 (99.3%). The test results show that the model proposed in this study has good recognition effect in the identification of commodity images in scenes of local occlusion, different perspectives, different backgrounds, and different light intensity, and the recognition accuracy is 97.1%. To sum up, the CIR platform based on MS-CNN model constructed in this study has high recognition accuracy and robustness, which can lay a foundation for the realization of subsequent intelligent commodity recognition technology.

To improve the accuracy of museum cultural relic image recognition, the DenseNet and ResNet are selected as the backbone neural networks for detection and recognition. In view of the small target problem in cultural relics, the feature pyramid is introduced in this paper to improve the DenseNet method. The accuracy of target detection is improved through multiscale feature extraction and fusion. At the same time, aiming the problem of weak robustness and feature extraction of cultural relic images, the attention mechanism is proposed to improve ResNet. Therefore, this network can pay attention to the key of feature areas in the image. Finally, the aforementioned methods are verified by experiments. The results show that compared with the YOLOv3 and other algorithms, the accuracy of the improved ResNet proposed in this experiment is above 90%. Furthermore, the number of missed and erroneous detection is the lowest, which are 171 and 134, respectively. The identified mAP indicator accuracy can reach 86%, which also exceeds SVD-Net and DenseNet. It can be seen that the constructed method can effectively detect and recognize the museum cultural relic images.

The paper is focused on the analysis of the relation between the stability of the flotation process and the efficiency of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms based on the flotation froth images. An ML process should enable researchers to construct Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms for flotation process control. The image of the flotation froth includes information characterizing the flotation process. The information can be extracted with the aid of the Image Recognition (IR) algorithms based on the ML. This enables construction of a flotation process control system in the mineral processing plant, which is based on the recognition of images of the flotation froth. The IR algorithms do not provide stable image recognition results and are not efficient in the situation where the parameters of the flotation process are highly unstable. The classification results were equal to 75.11% and 69.62% for a stable and unstable process, respectively. The experimental data collected at the Polish Pb/Zn mineral processing plant provided better insight to the relationships between the flotation process parameters and ML efficiency. These relationships were analyzed, and guidelines for the construction of the ML process for flotation process control have been formulated.

In portable precision visual measurement, processing result of the measurement image has an important influence on final measurement accuracy in large field working space. However, the images taken in large field working space always have the following characteristics: containing a large amount of information, having a high redundancy and including a lot of background noises. In order to solve these problems, precision image processing and recognition algorithm is researched. Firstly, portable precision visual measurement method is introduced. Then, the design method of global control points including noncoding points and coding points is displayed. Finally, the image processing and recognition algorithm is investigated in detail, including the largest variance threshold method used to partly binary the image, the detection algorithm of global control points based on the constraint of distance and acreage and coding value recognition method through correcting the image feature. A large amount of experiments show that the image processing and recognition algorithm is accurate and effective to processing the image taken in the working space.

A vehicle communication signal recognition and compensation system based on vehicle network is proposed to overcome the problems of the traditional vehicle communication signal recognition system, such as poor anti-interference and signal recognition accuracy. The hardware part of the system consists of three modules. The software uses inverse operator and Wiener filter to compensate the vehicle communication signal and improves the precision of signal recognition. The MFCC parameters are extracted as the main parameters of signal recognition, and the distance measurement between the unknown communication signal and each template is obtained by using the non-linear registration mode DTW, so as to realise the optimal registration mode of signal pattern recognition. Experimental results show that the anti-interference performance of the system is about 110 dB, and the recognition rate of different types of signals is more than 85%, which proves that the system has high recognition accuracy and strong anti-interference ability.

This paper describes a two-stage recognition method that reduces the calculation load of correlation and improves recognition accuracy in statistical image recognition. It consists of an image screening and recognition stage. Image screening selects a candidate set of subimages that are similar to the object class using a lower dimensional feature vector. Since recognition is made for the selected subimages set using a higher dimensional feature vector, overall recognition efficiency is improved. The classifier in recognition designed from the selected subimages also improves recognition accuracy because selected subimages are less contaminated than the original ones. A screening criterion for measuring overall efficiency and accuracy of recognition is introduced to be exploited in designing the feature spaces of image screening and recognition. The results of experiments for the eye- and mouth-area detection in face images and text-area detection in document images show that the designed feature spaces improve recognition accuracy and more efficiency than does the conventional one-stage recognition method.

With the extensive attention and research of the scholars in deep learning, the convolutional restricted Boltzmann machine (CRBM) model based on restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) is widely used in image recognition, speech recognition, etc. However, time consuming training still seems to be an unneglectable issue. To solve this problem, this paper mainly uses optimized parallel CRBM based on Spark, and proposes a parallel comparison divergence algorithm based on Spark and uses it to train the CRBM model to improve the training speed. The experiments show that the method is faster than traditional sequential algorithm. We train the CRBM with the method and apply it to breast X-ray image classification. The experiments show that it can improve the precision and the speed of training compared with traditional algorithm.

Compared with the traditional immune algorithm, this paper combines the immune algorithm with the support vector machine, and the optimized immune algorithm can effectively improve the performance of ultrasonic liver image classification and recognition.

To improve the accuracy of signal recognition in delay-based optical reservoir computing (RC) systems, this paper proposes the use of nonlinear algorithms at the output layer to replace traditional linear algorithms for training and testing datasets and apply them to the identification of frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR signals. This marks the inaugural use of the system for the identification of FMCW LiDAR signals. We elaborate on the fundamental principles of a delay-based optical RC system using an optical-injected distributed feedback laser (DFB) laser and discriminate four FMCW LiDAR signals through this setup. In the output layer, three distinct training algorithms—namely linear regression, support vector machine (SVM), and random forest—were employed to train the optical reservoir. Upon analyzing the experimental results, it was found that regardless of the size of the dataset, the recognition accuracy of the two nonlinear training algorithms was superior to that of the linear regression algorithm. Among the two nonlinear algorithms, the Random Forest algorithm had a higher recognition accuracy than SVM when the sample size was relatively small.

The algorithm is compared with the traditional BP neural network algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm is 30% faster than the traditional algorithm. The classification algorithm has faster response speed, higher accuracy and stronger robustness.

Accurate RNA secondary structure information is the cornerstone of gene function research and RNA tertiary structure prediction. However, most traditional RNA secondary structure prediction algorithms are based on the dynamic programming (DP) algorithm, according to the minimum free energy theory, with both hard and soft constraints. The accuracy is particularly dependent on the accuracy of soft constraints (from experimental data like chemical and enzyme detection). With the elongation of the RNA sequence, the time complexity of DP-based algorithms will increase geometrically, as a result, they are not good at coping with relatively long sequences. Furthermore, due to the complexity of the pseudoknots structure, the secondary structure prediction method, based on traditional algorithms, has great defects which cannot predict the secondary structure with pseudoknots well. Therefore, few algorithms have been available for pseudoknots prediction in the past. The ATTfold algorithm proposed in this article is a deep learning algorithm based on an attention mechanism. It analyzes the global information of the RNA sequence via the characteristics of the attention mechanism, focuses on the correlation between paired bases, and solves the problem of long sequence prediction. Moreover, this algorithm also extracts the effective multi-dimensional features from a great number of RNA sequences and structure information, by combining the exclusive hard constraints of RNA secondary structure. Hence, it accurately determines the pairing position of each base, and obtains the real and effective RNA secondary structure, including pseudoknots. Finally, after training the ATTfold algorithm model through tens of thousands of RNA sequences and their real secondary structures, this algorithm was compared with four classic RNA secondary structure prediction algorithms. The results show that our algorithm significantly outperforms others and more accurately showed the secondary structure of RNA. As the data in RNA sequence databases increase, our deep learning-based algorithm will have superior performance. In the future, this kind of algorithm will be more indispensable.
