DISCRETIZATION OF INTEGRATED MOMENT INVARIANTS FOR WRITER IDENTIFICATION

Conservative regular moments have been proven to exhibit some shortcomings in the original formulations of moment functions in terms of scaling factor. Hence, an incorporated scaling factor of geometric functions into United Moment Invariant function is proposed for mining the feature of unconstrained words. Subsequently, the discrete proposed features undertake discretization procedure prior to classification for better feature representation and splendid classification accuracy. Collectively, discrete values are finite intervals in a continuous spectrum of values and well known to play important roles in data mining and knowledge discovery. Many induction algorithms found in the literature requires that training data contains only discrete features and some works better on discretized data; in particular rule based approaches like rough sets. Hence, in this study, an integrated scaling formulation of Aspect Scaling Invariant is presented in Writer Identification to hunt for the individuality perseverance. Successive exploration is executed to investigate for the suitability of discretization techniques in probing the issues of writer authorship. Mathematical proving and results of computer simulations are embraced to attest the feasibility of the proposed technique in Writer Identification. The results disclose that the proposed discretized invariants reveal 99% accuracy of classification by using 3520 training data and 880 testing data

New human action recognition scheme with geometrical feature representation and invariant discretization for video surveillance

Human action recognition is an active research area in computer vision because of its immense application in the field of video surveillance, video retrieval, security systems, video indexing and human computer interaction. Action recognition is classified as the time varying feature data generated by human under different viewpoint that aims to build mapping between dynamic image information and semantic understanding. Although a great deal of progress has been made in recognition of human actions during last two decades, few proposed approaches in literature are reported. This leads to a need for much research works to be conducted in addressing on going challenges leading to developing more efficient approaches to solve human action recognition. Feature extraction is the main tasks in action recognition that represents the core of any action recognition procedure. The process of feature extraction involves transforming the input data that describe the shape of a segmented silhouette of a moving person into the set of represented features of action poses. In video surveillance, global moment invariant based on Geometrical Moment Invariant (GMI) is widely used in human action recognition. However, there are many drawbacks of GMI such that it lack of granular interpretation of the invariants relative to the shape. Consequently, the representation of features has not been standardized. Hence, this study proposes a new scheme of human action recognition (HAR) with geometrical moment invariants for feature extraction and supervised invariant discretization in identifying actions uniqueness in video sequencing. The proposed scheme is tested using IXMAS dataset in video sequence that has non rigid nature of human poses that resulting from drastic illumination changes, changing in pose and erratic motion patterns. The invarianceness of the proposed scheme is validated based on the intra-class and inter-class analysis. The result of the proposed scheme yields better performance in action recognition compared to the conventional scheme with an average of more than 99% accuracy while preserving the shape of the human actions in video images

Comparison of global and local features for author's identification by using geometrical and zoning methods

Identification analysis for author's handwriting image in forensic investigation is still an important research area in this current big data era. Images feature extraction can lead to an issue of high dimensionality of data. The process of feature extraction is the most crucial process in author's identification. It is important to choose the best method to represent the image. This study compared two feature extraction methods, namely Higher-Order United Moment Invariant (HUMI) and the Edge-based Directional (ED) method that construct the Global and Local Features respectively. The additional process of discretization was implemented before the training and testing phase to represent the generalized features for the classifier models. This process induced a better performance accuracy for both methods where the discretized Local Features achieved 99.95% accuracy rate that slightly outperforms the discretized Global Features with only 99.91%

Predictive based hybrid ranker to yield significant features in writer identification

The contribution of writer identification (WI) towards personal identification in biometrics traits is known because it is easily accessible, cheaper, more reliable and acceptable as compared to other methods such as personal identification based DNA, iris and fingerprint. However, the production of high dimensional datasets has resulted into too many irrelevant or redundant features. These unnecessary features increase the size of the search space and decrease the identification performance. The main problem is to identify the most significant features and select the best subset of features that can precisely predict the authors. Therefore, this study proposed the hybridization of GRA Features Ranking and Feature Subset Selection (GRAFeSS) to develop the best subsets of highest ranking features and developed discretization model with the hybrid method (Dis-GRAFeSS) to improve classification accuracy. Experimental results showed that the methods improved the performance accuracy in identifying the authorship of features based ranking invariant discretization by substantially reducing redundant features
