Object-Based Greenhouse Mapping Using Very High Resolution Satellite Data and Landsat 8 Time Series
Greenhouse mapping through remote sensing has received extensive attention over the last decades. In this article, the innovative goal relies on mapping greenhouses through the combined use of very high resolution satellite data (WorldView-2) and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) time series within a context of an object-based image analysis (OBIA) and decision tree classification. Thus, WorldView-2 was mainly used to segment the study area focusing on individual greenhouses. Basic spectral information, spectral and vegetation indices, textural features, seasonal statistics and a spectral metric (Moment Distance Index, MDI) derived from Landsat 8 time series and/or WorldView-2 imagery were computed on previously segmented image objects. In order to test its temporal stability, the same approach was applied for two different years, 2014 and 2015. In both years, MDI was pointed out as the most important feature to detect greenhouses. Moreover, the threshold value of this spectral metric turned to be extremely stable for both Landsat 8 and WorldView-2 imagery. A simple decision tree always using the same threshold values for features from Landsat 8 time series and WorldView-2 was finally proposed. Overall accuracies of 93.0% and 93.3% and kappa coefficients of 0.856 and 0.861 were attained for 2014 and 2015 datasets, respectively
Deep Chronnectome Learning via Full Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Networks for MCI Diagnosis
Brain functional connectivity (FC) extracted from resting-state fMRI
(RS-fMRI) has become a popular approach for disease diagnosis, where
discriminating subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from normal
controls (NC) is still one of the most challenging problems. Dynamic functional
connectivity (dFC), consisting of time-varying spatiotemporal dynamics, may
characterize "chronnectome" diagnostic information for improving MCI
classification. However, most of the current dFC studies are based on detecting
discrete major brain status via spatial clustering, which ignores rich
spatiotemporal dynamics contained in such chronnectome. We propose Deep
Chronnectome Learning for exhaustively mining the comprehensive information,
especially the hidden higher-level features, i.e., the dFC time series that may
add critical diagnostic power for MCI classification. To this end, we devise a
new Fully-connected Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (Full-BiLSTM)
to effectively learn the periodic brain status changes using both past and
future information for each brief time segment and then fuse them to form the
final output. We have applied our method to a rigorously built large-scale
multi-site database (i.e., with 164 data from NCs and 330 from MCIs, which can
be further augmented by 25 folds). Our method outperforms other
state-of-the-art approaches with an accuracy of 73.6% under solid
cross-validations. We also made extensive comparisons among multiple variants
of LSTM models. The results suggest high feasibility of our method with
promising value also for other brain disorder diagnoses.Comment: The paper has been accepted by MICCAI201
Semi-supervised active learning anomaly detection
Mestrado Bolonha em Data Analytics for BusinessThe analysis of Time Series data is a growing field of study due to the increase in the rate of data collection from the most varied sensors that lead to an overload of information to be analysed in order to obtain the most accurate conclusions possible. Hence, due to the high volume of data without labels, automatized detection and labelling of anomalies in Time Series data is an active area of research, as it becomes impossible to manually identify abnormal behavior in Time Series because of the high time and monetary costs. This research focus on the investigation of the power of a Semi Supervised Active Learning algorithm to identify outlier-type anomalies in univariate Time Series. To maximize the performance of the algorithm, we start by proposing an initial pool of features from which the ones with best classification power are selected to develop the algorithm. Regarding the Semi Supervised Learning segment of the process a comparison between several classifiers is made. In addition, various Query Strategies are proposed in the Active Learning segment to increase the informativeness of the observations chosen to be manually labelled so that the time spent labelling anomalies could be decreased without a great impact in the performance of the model. In a first instance, we demonstrate that the pool of designed features better identifies the anomalies than features selected in a fully automatized process. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a Query Strategy used to select the most informative observations to be expertly classified based on the utility and uncertainty of the observations exhibit better results than randomly selecting the observations to be tagged, improving the performance of the model without infeasible time and cost spent in the identification of the anomalous behavior.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Temporally-aware algorithms for the classification of anuran sounds
Several authors have shown that the sounds of anurans can be used as an indicator of
climate change. Hence, the recording, storage and further processing of a huge
number of anuran sounds, distributed over time and space, are required in order to
obtain this indicator. Furthermore, it is desirable to have algorithms and tools for
the automatic classification of the different classes of sounds. In this paper, six
classification methods are proposed, all based on the data-mining domain, which
strive to take advantage of the temporal character of the sounds. The definition and
comparison of these classification methods is undertaken using several approaches.
The main conclusions of this paper are that: (i) the sliding window method attained
the best results in the experiments presented, and even outperformed the hidden
Markov models usually employed in similar applications; (ii) noteworthy overall
classification performance has been obtained, which is an especially striking result
considering that the sounds analysed were affected by a highly noisy background;
(iii) the instance selection for the determination of the sounds in the training dataset
offers better results than cross-validation techniques; and (iv) the temporally-aware
classifiers have revealed that they can obtain better performance than their nontemporally-aware
counterparts.Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa (Junta de Andalucía, Spain): excellence eSAPIENS number TIC 570
