Improving the identification and classification of Malaysian medicinal leaf images using ensemble method

Malaysia has abundant natural resources especially plants which can be used for medicinal or herbal purposes. However, there is less research to preserve the knowledge of these resources to be utilized by the community in identifying useful medicinal plants using computing tools. This paper presents the implementation of digital opportunities for Malaysian medicinal plants via leaf image identification and classification. Of late, experts in traditional medicine and herbs have become few and the younger generation are mostly unknowledgeable about the medicinal and herbal properties of the plants. Therefore, this work is important in assisting the community (rural and urban) to identify and possibly share the knowledge of Malaysian medicinal plants with the future generation. The focus of this paper is to prepare the identification phase before the actual system is developed. Thus, the implementation of such a system is vital in order to enable the community to preserve these important resources

Personal identification based on mobile-based keystroke dynamics

This paper is addressing the personal identification problem by using mobile-based keystroke dynamics of touch mobile phone. The proposed approach consists of two main phases, namely feature selection and classification. The most important features are selected using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Moreover, Bagging classifier used the selected features to identify persons by matching the features of the unknown person with the labeled features. The outputs of all Bagging classifiers are fused to determine the final decision. In this experiment, a keystroke dynamics database for touch mobile phones is used. The database, which consists of four sets of features, is collected from 51 individuals and consists of 985 samples collected from males and females with different ages. The results of the proposed model conclude that the third subset of features achieved the best accuracy while the second subset achieved the worst accuracy. Moreover, the fusion of all classifiers of all ensembles will improve the accuracy and achieved results better than the individual classifiers and individual ensembles

Bagged ensemble of Fuzzy C-Means classifiers for nuclear transient identification

This paper presents an ensemble-based scheme for nuclear transient identification. The approach adopted to construct the ensemble of classifiers is bagging; the novelty consists in using supervised fuzzy C-means (FCM) classifiers as base classifiers of the ensemble. The performance of the proposed classification scheme has been verified by comparison with a single supervised, evolutionary-optimized FCM classifier with respect of the task of classifying artificial datasets. The results obtained indicate that in the cases of datasets of large or very small sizes and/or complex decision boundaries, the bagging ensembles can improve classification accuracy. Then, the approach has been applied to the identification of simulated transients in the feedwater system of a boiling water reactor (BWR)

LifeCLEF Plant Identification Task 2015

International audienceThe LifeCLEF plant identification challenge aims at evaluating plant identification methods and systems at a very large scale, close to the conditions of a real-world biodiversity monitoring scenario. The 2015 evaluation was actually conducted on a set of more than 100K images illustrating 1000 plant species living in West Europe. The main originality of this dataset is that it was built through a large-scale partic-ipatory sensing plateform initiated in 2011 and which now involves tens of thousands of contributors. This overview presents more precisely the resources and assessments of the challenge, summarizes the approaches and systems employed by the participating research groups, and provides an analysis of the main outcomes

Machine Vision Approach for Identification of Four Variant Pakistani Rice Using Multi-Features Dataset

Crops are the most important and beneficial food source in Pakistan. The demand for food has been an increase in Pakistan due to population growth. Pakistan produced 7,410 million tons of rice according to the financial year survey 2020 (FYS-2020). Pakistani rice has been cultivated in 3,304 hectares of the agricultural land zone, and it is also export around the world. Rice is also increased by 0.6% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan (FYS-2020). The old and manual process of rice classification is more expensive and time-consuming. In this study, we describe a machine vision approach for rice identification. We use four different varieties of rice for the experimental process such as Pakei_Kaynat, Kaynat_Kauchei, and Kauchei_Super_Banaspati and Tootaa_Kauchei (P1, P2, P3, and P4). The 100 images dataset have been used for practical work and total calculated of 400 (4 x 100) image of rice. The different process has been deploying on available datasets such as introduction, preprocessing methodology, and result discussion. A quality enhancement technique has been implementing for clarifying between rice color and shape sampling, and it is also converted color image in gray scale level. Every image has been employing six different non-overlapping regions of interest (ROI’s) and calculated a total of 2400 (6 x 400) ROI’s. Binary (B), Histogram (H) and Texture (T) features have been implemented and extract 43 features on each ROI’s and total calculated 103,200 (2400 x 43) machine learning (ML) features. Best First Search (BFS) Algorithm was used for feature optimization. Different ML classifiers are implementing for experimental process namely; Function Multi-Layer-Perception, Function SMO, Random Tree, J48 Tree, Meta Classifier via Regression and Meta Bagging. The Function Multi-Layer-Perception overall accuracy (OA) has describe better accuracy result is 99.8333%

Data-driven Soft Sensors in the Process Industry

In the last two decades Soft Sensors established themselves as a valuable alternative to the traditional means for the acquisition of critical process variables, process monitoring and other tasks which are related to process control. This paper discusses characteristics of the process industry data which are critical for the development of data-driven Soft Sensors. These characteristics are common to a large number of process industry fields, like the chemical industry, bioprocess industry, steel industry, etc. The focus of this work is put on the data-driven Soft Sensors because of their growing popularity, already demonstrated usefulness and huge, though yet not completely realised, potential. A comprehensive selection of case studies covering the three most important Soft Sensor application fields, a general introduction to the most popular Soft Sensor modelling techniques as well as a discussion of some open issues in the Soft Sensor development and maintenance and their possible solutions are the main contributions of this work

A Hypertuned Pipeline Vector Using Meta Classifier Technique for Feature Selection in Multi Disease Prediction

Automation of health sector plays a very important role especially during this pandemic due to the side effects of either vaccination or attack of the COVID. Most of the researchers designed a system to predict whether a person suffers from a particular disease or not. Few researchers worked on prediction variants of a single disease based on symptoms but due to this COVID-19, different people are getting attacked with different diseases as a side effect. This proposed system aims to identify the multiple diseases that a person may suffer from based on the symptoms. In this paper, the dataset obtained from the open access repository “Kaggle” contains 17 symptoms combinations to identify the one of the 41 types of diseases as class label. All the symptoms may not be important for identification, so in this model, the important features are identified using the pipeline vector of different Machine Learning approaches are passed as base line classifier and decision tree classifier as meta line to the elimination function. The model has got “99.48%” accuracy for selecting the essential features using bagging and boosting algorithms
