        1 - A new Sparse Coding Approach for Human Face and Action Recognition

        Sparse coding is an unsupervised method which learns a set of over-complete bases to represent data such as image, video and etc. In the cases where we have some similar images from the different classes, using the sparse coding method the images may be classified into the same class and devalue classification performance. In this paper, we propose an Affine Graph Regularized Sparse Coding approach for resolving this problem. We apply the sparse coding and graph regularized sparse coding approaches by adding the affinity constraint to the objective function to improve the recognition rate. Several experiments has been done on well-known face datasets such as ORL and YALE. The first experiment has been done on ORL dataset for face recognition and the second one has been done on YALE dataset for face expression detection. Both experiments have been compared with the basic approaches for evaluating the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly outperform previous methods in face classification. In addition, the proposed method is applied to KTH action dataset and the results show that the proposed sparse coding approach could be applied for action recognition applications too.

        Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, responsible for the death of many people in society. One of the issues regarding this disease is the absence of early and accurate detection. In the medical industry, gastric cancer is diagnosed by conducting numerous tests and imagings, which are costly and time-consuming. Therefore, doctors are seeking a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative. One of the medical solutions is Chinese medicine and diagnosis by observing changes of the tongue. Detecting the disease using tongue appearance and color of various sections of the tongue is one of the key components of traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, a method is presented which can carry out the localization of tongue surface regardless of the different poses of people in images. In fact, if the localization of face components, especially the mouth, is done correctly, the components leading to the biggest distinction in the dataset can be used which is favorable in terms of time and space complexity. Also, since we have the best estimation, the best features can be extracted relative to those components and the best possible accuracy can be achieved in this situation. The extraction of appropriate features in this study is done using deep convolutional neural networks. Finally, we use the random forest algorithm to train the proposed model and evaluate the criteria. Experimental results show that the average classification accuracy has reached approximately 73.78 which demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method compared to other methods.

        Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is an essential means of the analysis of remotely sensed images. Remote sensing of natural resources, astronomy, medicine, agriculture, food health, and many other applications are examples of possible applications of this technique. Since hyperspectral images contain redundant measurements, it is crucial to identify a subset of efficient features for modeling the classes. Kernel-based methods are widely used in this field. In this paper, we introduce a new kernel-based method that defines Hyperplane more optimally than previous methods. The presence of noise data in many kernel-based HSI classification methods causes changes in boundary samples and, as a result, incorrect class hyperplane training. We propose the optimized kernel non-parametric weighted feature extraction for hyperspectral image classification. KNWFE is a kernel-based feature extraction method, which has promising results in classifying remotely-sensed image data. However, it does not take the closeness or distance of the data to the target classes. Solving the problem, we propose optimized KNWFE, which results in better classification performance. Our extensive experiments show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of HSI classification and is superior to the state-of-the-art HIS classifiers. Manuscript profile
