Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used for feature extraction and dimension reduction. Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) was used to further improve the separability of samples in the subspace and extract LDA features. Nearest Neighbor Classifier (NNC) was adopted for face recognition. Face recognition rate was improved in our experiments on ORL face database with our approach.

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals are widely used to control the myoelectric prosthetic arm for amputees. In this study, the authors investigated the usefulness of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) features from multiple levels of approximation and detail coefficients obtained from sEMG signals. DWT is used for de-noising as well as feature extraction in this study and further tested using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Classifier. The performance of SVM classifier is compared with ANN classifier. The classification accuracy of SVM classifiers was found better as compared to ANN in term of speed and robustness. In the first section of paper the authors presented the introduction related to the study. The experimental set-up for recording surface EMG signal is presented in section 2. In section 3 the experimental results are depicted and in section 4 the results are concluded.

Academic Information System (Sistem Informasi Akademik aka SIAKAD) Online of Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI) is one of the applications used to facilitate the administration process of lectures which includes the filling process of study plan cards (Kartu Rencana Studi aka KRS), study result cards (Kartu Hasil Studi aka KHS), class schedules, submission of research titles, seminars, and other processes. SIAKAD UNPRI can be accessed by students, lecturers, and academics where every user has a password that has been encrypted to maintain the security of information from people who are not responsible, password security using the encryption method needs to be changed regularly, but there are still many students, lecturers and academic community who are reluctant to change passwords. To improve the security verification stage for SIAKAD users, we propose a face recognition feature approach. Face recognition is a feature that allows the identification of someone from a digital image or video. The way the facial recognition method works is by comparing face data from the camera or images with images that were previously stored in a database. In this study, the Kohonen SOM method is proposed for face identification based on the feature extraction approach of discrete cosine transform (DCT), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and principal component analysis (PCA) to improve the security of UNPRI SIAKAD users. The analytical framework is done by requiring students to do face taking, where each student will save 5 (five) faces extracted with facial features using the DCT, LDA and PCA model approach, feature extraction results are used as input to the Kohonen SOM network for training and testing facial recognition, then analysis of the effect of DCT, LDA and PCA feature extraction on the Kohonen network on facial recognition accuracy.

This paper presents a novel feature extraction framework for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based Local tetra pattern (LTrP) is used to obtain the feature map from an input image. Decomposition of DWT up to single level and the features obtained from it would make the CBIR system very sensitive to noise. Therefore, decomposition up to three scales is used to remove noise. On each of the sub band LTrP is applied and 130 features are extracted. Further, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is employed for index matching and image retrieval task which gives the classification accuracy of 97.9 % for Corel 1K database. We have compared our proposed feature extraction scheme with LTrP and other existing local descriptor. Results show that combination of DWT and Local Tetra Patterns (DWT + LTrP) extracts more robust features than LTrP alone. Also, the effect of different wavelet filters on the accuracy of the system has been analyzed. Proposed framework has been tested on Corel-1000 and Corel-10000 databases. We have used average retrieval rate, precision, and recall for performance measure of the CBIR system. Proposed method outperforms the retrieval rate from 75.9% using LTrP to 97.9% using proposed method on Corel 1K database. Improvement in performance measures as compared to the other existing methods evidence that, the proposed spatio-frequency local descriptor is more robust for image retrieval task.

Face recognition is a significant biometric credential in the field of security authentication. It additionally assumes a noteworthy job in image processing and it is applicable in various systems like verifying the identity of the person and in security purpose. Recognizing the face with varying background, poses and illumination are the complexity involved in this face recognition. Many algorithms exist for face recognition, of which, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) works better for recognition of faces. An algorithm using 3 Level-DWT and modified PCA is proposed for feature extraction. The PCA and reconstruction of images using Inverse PCA, help not only for dimensionality reduction, but also to find the least principal components (PC) of an image from which the significant features of a face image can be extracted. The significant features thus extracted are used for classifying genetic and non-genetic faces. Using extracted features from 3 level DWT and PCA, Support vector machine (SVM) is utilized to classify the faces genetically. The proposed extracted features does not intend to certain features like ears, nose and eyes of the face, but corresponds to identify the faces which are genetically similar. Based on the statistical measure analysis, the proposed algorithm 3 Level dwt with modified PCA works well in extracting the features for identifying the faces which are genetically closer. This face recognition application system can be effectively used to treat a patient in other location with complete security. There is no chance for data stealing, since the concerned doctors and patient only will take part in the system. The identification of genetic faces will turn out to be an achievement in the field of health care monitoring systems.

The main weakness of the k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm in face recognition is calculating the distance and sort all training data on each prediction which can be slow if there are a large number of training instances. This problem can be solved by utilizing the priority k-d tree search to speed up the process of k-NN classification. This paper proposes a method for student attendance systems in the classroom using facial recognition techniques by combining three levels of Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to extract facial features followed by applying the priority of k-d tree search to speed up the process of facial classification using k-Nearest Neighbor. The proposed algorithm is tested on two datasets that are Honda/UCSD video dataset and our dataset (AtmafaceDB dataset). This research looks for the best value of k to get the right facial recognition using k-fold cross-validation. 10-fold cross-validation at level 3 DWT-PCA shows that face recognition using k-Nearest Neighbor on our dataset is 95.56% with k = 5, whereas in the Honda / UCSD dataset it is only 82% with k = 3. The proposed method gives computational recognition time on our dataset 40 milliseconds.

A new method of face recognition based on gradient direction histogram (HOG) features extraction and fast principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of low accuracy of face recognition under non-restrictive conditions. In this method, the Haar feature classifier is used to extract and extract the original data, and then the HOG features are extracted from the image data and the PCA dimension reduction is processed, and the Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm is used to recognize the face. The experimental results of the classification recognition on the LFW face database verify the effectiveness of the method.

Feature extraction plays a very important role in the speech classification process because a better feature is good for improving the classification rate. This paper presents a speech feature extraction method by using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) at 7th level of decomposition with mother wavelet of Dau-bechies 2, Renyi Entropy (RE), Autoregressive Power Spectral Density (AR-PSD), Statistical, as well as the combination of each method for extracting and classifying the certain Indonesian velar-vowel and alveolar-vowel syllables. Five different features set used in this study, namely the combination features of DWT and statistical (WS), RE, the combination of AR-PSD and Statistical (PSDS), the combination of PSDS and the selected features of RE (RPSDS), and the combination of DWT, RE, and AR-PSD (WRPSDS). Each syllable is segmented at a certain length to form a consonant-vowel. Multi-layer perceptron is used as a classifier after feature extraction process. The results show that the rank of the average recognition rate are WRPSDS, WS, RPSDS, PSDS, and RE, respectively.

Invariant feature extraction under diverse illuminations is challenging for face recognition. Related face recognition techniques consider that illumination effect is predominant in low frequencies and involve various methods to segregate high frequency information. However, high frequency feature extraction results in loss of salient features that degrades performance. Thus, objective of this work is to extract illumination normalized robust facial features for face recognition under high illumination conditions. First, a new illumination normalization framework is proposed in which homomorphic filtering (HF) is applied for reducing illumination effect along with contrast enhancement and intensity range compression in face images. Then, illumination deviations are annulled by using reflectance ratio (RR), which yields appropriate texture smoothing and edge preservation. Further, selective feature extraction by discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is performed on HF and RR based face images that discards noise effect. It outcomes in illumination normalized significant facial features, on which subspace analysis (Principal component analysis) is performed to generate small size feature vectors for classification (k-nearest neighbour classifier). Experimental results on benchmark databases such as CMU-PIE, Yale B and Extended Yale B database, demonstrates that proposed face recognition technique yields high performance under diverse illuminations as compared to existing techniques.

Face recognition is one technology that is commonly used now. Therefore, various algorithms continue to be developed to obtain maximum results with minimum costs. One of them is the Deep Neural Network or DNN algorithm. While DNN requires a large dataset to train the algorithm, another algorithm called the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm works good in a smaller dataset. These algorithms are compared to know which algorithm has the better result in given circumstances. Later the accuracy, speed, and optimality of the algorithms are analyzed. By comparing these algorithms, we could know which algorithm is preferable in given circumstances. After the experiment is done, we can assume that the two algorithms have a slight difference in terms of accuracy. Also, the time used for running the PCA implementation code is slightly longer than DNN. However, that does not mean that the PCA algorithm is not great. If the dataset to be used is limited, PCA is going to be a good choice.

This study proposes a Fusion, Feature-Level, Face Recognition System (FFLFRS) that is based on the Multi-Resolution, Singular Value Decomposition (MSVD) fusion technique. Face recognition in the FFLFRS is achieved via four processes: face detection, feature extraction, feature fusion, and face classification. In this system, the most significant face features (that is, the eyes, nose, and mouth) are first detected. Then, local and global features are extracted by the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) extraction approaches. Afterwards, the extracted features are fused by the MSVD method and classified by the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The proposed FFLFRS was verified on 10,000 face images drawn from the face images database of the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL). Face recognition performance of this system was contrasted with levels of performance of three state of the art, fusion-level, face recognition systems (FRSs) depending on the Frequency Partition (FP), Laplacian Pyramid (LP), and Covariance Intersection (CI) fusion methods. Ten-thousand images were employed to test the proposed model and assess its performance, which was evaluated in terms of changes in pose, illumination, and expression, besides low resolution and presence of occlusion. The face recognition results of the proposed FFLFRS are encouraging. This system proved to be effective in dealing with images having challenges to face recognition and it could achieve a recognition accuracy as high as 97.78%.

Brain tumour classification using conventional techniques involving human intervention is prone to errors. Errors in feature extraction and/or classification may turn out to be fatal. Hence focus has shifted on automated techniques for the feature extraction and classification of brain tumour images. In the present work, a mechanism for the same has been proposed involving Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Three categories have been incorporated in the present work, viz. normal brain, brain with benign tumour and brain with malignant tumour. In the present case, MRI images of the brain have been used to train an Artificial Neural Network which subsequently predicts the category of some new MRI data. The key challenge in designing such a system is attaining high accuracy of classification. This can be achieved by accurate feature extraction mechanism and then designing an appropriate Neural Network for training and testing. At the outset, segmentation has been employed to separate the region of the tumour (if any). Later the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used as a preprocessing tool. The DWT helps in removing the non linearities of the image signal and smoothen it out. Since images exhibit abrupt changes in pixel values, conventional Fourier methods like the Fourier Transform prove to be unfit for image analysis. Subsequently, features like contrast, correlation, energy, homogeneity, mean, standard deviation, entropy, RMS value, variance, smoothness, kurtosis and skewness have been evaluated. Prior to training the Neural Network using the feature values, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been employed to find trends in the feature values. A Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) has been designed and it has been trained using the feature values. I has been found that brain tumour MRI image are classified into normal, benign and malignant category using PNN classifier with an accuracy of 97% for the used data set which can be attributed to the efficacy of the proposed method. Key Words: Brain Tumor Classification, Machine Learning, Feature Extraction, Neural Networks, Confusion Matrix, Classification Accuracy.

The conventional method used in forest inventory is time-consuming, especially in field surveying and requires an expert’s knowledge and observation to do species identification. This standard method can be facilitated by advances in remote sensing technology. An airborne hyperspectral image mosaic was utilised in the research to evaluate the ability of this high spectral fidelity dataset that was incorporated into a feature extraction Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to successfully detect and map a tree species of interest (Shorea kunstleri King) within the mixed dipterocarp forest stand of the Lambir Hills National Park. In this study, two types of feature extraction Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Spectral Derivative (SD) were applied to classifiers SVM. To demonstrate the effect, classification of the hyperspectral image with no feature extraction was done. The accuracies achieved from different feature extraction were compared statistically. Based on the results, Shorea kunstleri King was able to be discriminated against within 53 species of Shorea. SVM classifier is known for its ability to generalise well even with limited training samples and is commonly used in image classification. The Kernel parameter in SVM classifier alongside feature extraction significantly affects the classification accuracy. Therefore, feature extraction does affect the classification accuracy, but it depends on the morphology of the study area. It is concluded that the SVM method with SD feature extraction could detect tree crowns of Shorea kunstleri with a Kappa coefficient of 0.8126 which showed a great agreement with the observed samples and overall accuracy of 89.89% that shows the accuracy of the final map.

In recent years, the Face recognition task has been an active research area in computer vision and biometrics. Many feature extraction and classification algorithms are proposed to perform face recognition. However, the former usually suffer from the wide variations in face images, while the latter usually discard the local facial features, which are proven to be important for face recognition. In this paper, a novel framework based on merging the advantages of the Key points Local Binary/Tetra Pattern (KP-LTrP) and Improved Hough Transform (IHT) with the Improved DragonFly Algorithm-Kernel Ensemble Learning Machine (IDFA-KELM) is proposed to address the face recognition problem in unconstrained conditions. Initially, the face images are collected from the publicly available dataset. Then noises in the input image are removed by performing preprocessing using Adaptive Kuwahara filter (AKF). After preprocessing, the face from the preprocessed image is detected using the Tree-Structured Part Model (TSPM) structure. Then, features, such as KP-LTrP, and IHT are extracted from the detected face and the extracted feature is reduced using the Information gain based Kernel Principal Component Analysis (IG-KPCA) algorithm. Then, finally, these reduced features are inputted to IDFA-KELM for performing FR. The outcomes of the proposed method are examined and contrasted with the other existing techniques to confirm that the proposed IDFA-KELM detects human faces efficiently from the input images.
